Expirience with the Ghost Riot EN Essential

Ludwig Döhl You want to ride mainly on moderate runs? Then you will love the Ghost Enduro. With a 64 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Ghost engineers. For 3099 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Ghost is behind its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Ghost Fully sizing runs big.
