Anne Terpstra has won a Cross Country World Cup on the Lector FS SF Advanced . So the speed check has been passed. But the rest of the concept of the bike is also fully convincing. From frame size L it even comes with 120 mm travel. With a 68 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 8000 Euro that would suit you better. Anyway: In the uphill, the Ghost Lector FS SF Advanced lets the competitors look outdated. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Ghost sets the bar high! Pay attention when selecting your size: the Ghost Fully sizing runs big.
