Expirience with the Ghost Nirvana Tour Essential

Ludwig Döhl Installing 120 mm of travel in a hardtail greatly expands the range of this bike. Thanks to a moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 1499 Euro . The guarantee of 5 years proves that Ghost is behind its products.
