Expirience with the Ghost KATO PRO 27.5

Ludwig Döhl When using it as on long tours, the Ghost KATO PRO 27.5 really shows its full potential. The short chainstays make the bike playful and more maneuverable in tighter corners. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Racebike von Ghost. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Considering that in the range under 1000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 5 years proves that Ghost puts a lot of trust in its products.
