Expirience with the Ghost LECTOR FS SF UNIVERSAL

Ludwig Döhl Anne Terpstra has won a Cross Country World Cup on the LECTOR FS SF UNIVERSAL . 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. The combination of a 68 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Ghost Fully, even if you ride fast. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Ghost LECTOR FS SF UNIVERSAL has a sporty seating position. There are Downcountry-Bike in the price under 6000 Euro that have more potential downhill. The sporty orientation of the Ghost Fully can't be denied. The Ghost Fully is superior on lung-searing climbs within the Downcountry-Bikes. Ghost gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Ghost LECTOR FS SF UNIVERSAL sizing runs big.
