Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Identity & price
These bicycles are categorized differently: 2005 Jamis Satellite is Road; 2006 Jamis Satellite is Touring.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2005 Jamis Satellite and 2006 Jamis Satellite.
- Gearing
2006 Jamis Satellite has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 2005 Jamis Satellite.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
