Expirience with the Ghost Kato EQ 29

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on sporty excursions, the Kato EQ 29 really comes into its own. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The upright seating position gives the Kato EQ 29 a comfortable character. We cannot emphasize enough, that, compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the Kato EQ 29 has significantly better brakes. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
