Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2006 Fuji Absolute 4.0 and 2008 Fuji Absolute 4.0.

  2. Gearing

    2008 Fuji Absolute 4.0 has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 2006 Fuji Absolute 4.0.

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

  3. Identity & price

    2008 Fuji Absolute 4.0 had an original MSRP $120 lower than 2006 Fuji Absolute 4.0.

    Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

2006 Fuji Absolute 4.052/42/30T · 11–32T · 8-speed
Lowest0.94:1Highest4.73:1Total range504%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear6.7 mphHighest gear33.8 mph

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.
