Expirience with the Ghost Kato Pro 29

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the Racebike of Ghost on sporty excursions. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Ghost engineers. For 1049 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
