  2. Gearing

    2005 Scott Scale Limited has a 6% lower climbing ratio than 2006 Scott Scale Limited.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

How it works

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
