Expirience with the Ghost LECTOR UNIVERSAL

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 UNIVERSAL is not identical to that of the race bikes, but the frame is the same. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. On the downhill, however, the Ghost Hardtail is left in the dust by its competitors. On the way to the summit, the Ghost LECTOR UNIVERSAL lets it rip. With its 510 bandwidth on the gears and the overall athletic alignment, the on long tours in light terrain competitors got some catching up to do. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Ghost puts a lot of trust in its products. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Downcountry-Bike von Ghost sizing runs big.
