Expirience with the Ghost Kato FS

Ludwig Döhl The Kato FS is one of the cheapest fullys available on the market. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Ghost Kato FS. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position is sporty. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Ghost engineers. For 1499 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Ghost puts a lot of trust in its products.
