If I'm guessing correctly, the cusp is due to the transition between traction-limited and motor-limited. The 4CIM at that gearing is never traction-limited so there is no cusp. For a different gearing you might see an identical plateau at the beginning for the 4CIM, but it would drop off sooner.

I wonder why there is a slight decrease in acceleration while traction-limited as the speed increases, though?
