Expirience with the Ghost LECTOR PRO

Ludwig Döhl Under the wing of the Ghost Racing Team, the Lector is probably one of the most successful hardtails currently being ridden in the World Cup. The configuration of the LECTOR PRO is not identical to that of the race bikes, but the frame is the same. When it comes down to handling, Ghost does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Ghost LECTOR PRO is ready for the majority of singletrails. The seating position is sporty. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Ghost Hardtail doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Downcountry-Bike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the LECTOR PRO a real mountain goat in the Downcountry-Bikes. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Ghost sizing runs big.
