Bike Gear Ratio Calculator
Result
Bike Gear Ratio Calculator Calculate your bicycle's gear ratio and development (the distance travelled per crank revolution) from the chainring and sprocket tooth counts. A higher ratio is a harder, faster gear; a lower ratio is easier for climbing. The r — free online calculator.
Formula
- Bike Gear Ratio Calculator calculates its result from Chainring Teeth (front), Sprocket Teeth (rear). It uses the formula Gear Ratio = Chainring Teeth / Sprocket Teeth. Development = Gear Ratio × Wheel Diameter × π.. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Chainring Teeth, Sprocket Teeth. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Bike Gear Ratio
- Chainring Teeth: 52 front
- Sprocket Teeth: 16 rear
Using Chainring Teeth (front) = 52, Sprocket Teeth (rear) = 16, the calculated result is 3.25.
