Expirience with the Ghost RIOT TRAIL AL ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the Ghost Fully in alpine terrain. The flat 66 degree head tube angle of the All Mountain von Ghost oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Ghost RIOT TRAIL AL ESSENTIAL suite the taste of most bikers. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Ghost engineers. For 3099 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
