Expirience with the Ghost RIOT AM ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl You are looking for a bike for on very demanding single trails use? Then look no further and check out the RIOT AM ESSENTIAL. With a 63,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Ghost Fully. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
