Expirience with the Ghost RIOT TRAIL

Ludwig Döhl Do you want to ride your bike on demanding single tracks? So does the RIOT TRAIL. The flat 66 degree head tube angle of the Ghost Fully oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on demanding trails should be considered pleasant. Anyway: In the uphill, the Ghost RIOT TRAIL lets the competitors look outdated. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
