Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2007 Scott Voltage YZ 0.5 and 2008 Scott Voltage YZ 0.5.

  2. Gearing

    2008 Scott Voltage YZ 0.5 has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 2007 Scott Voltage YZ 0.5.

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

  3. Identity & price

    2007 Scott Voltage YZ 0.5 had an original MSRP $101 lower than 2008 Scott Voltage YZ 0.5.

    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.

2007 Scott Voltage YZ 0.538T · 11–26T · 9-speed
Lowest1.46:1Highest3.45:1Total range236%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear10.3 mphHighest gear24.2 mph

Uses front tire 26×2.1; rear size isn’t listed.

2008 Scott Voltage YZ 0.536T · 11–28T · 9-speed
Lowest1.29:1Highest3.27:1Total range255%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear9.0 mphHighest gear23.0 mph

Uses front tire 26×2.1; rear size isn’t listed.

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.
