The stats were taken at the Garage, unaffected by any Rider's stats. But, the numerical values are estimates as they are not shown in-game!
Since Knuckle Joe is a very aggressive Rider, you'd want to increase his offensive stats. Rex Wheelie can provide this with its stats, amplifying his offensive power while not sacrificing much in terms of speed.
