Expirience with the Ghost Kato 29 AL

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on sporty excursions, the Ghost really comes into its own. The short chainstays make the bike playful and more maneuverable in tighter corners. The seating position of the on long tours moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Ghost is behind its products.
