Ghost

<p>With a couple of significant upgrades from the Ghost ASX 5100, this bike is yet to meet a fallen log or teeter-totter it didn't like the look of. For improved air spring and damping control, the fork is a Fox 32F CTD, and the brakes are Shimano Deore hydraulic disc. There is also a 700g weight difference between the two bikes. Ghost has upped the ante on their "cockpit control," designing this ride with a shorter stem and wider handlebars to give you more control without changing your upper body position. The hanger is mounted on the inside of the chainstay to reduce bending stress and provide more direct shifting. And a 650B (27.5in.) wheel size marries the agility of a 26 with the smoothness of a 29er to create very nimble, extra stable traction.</p><ul><li>7000 series aluminum frame is strong and durable, while keeping the weight low and the cost reasonable</li><li>Tapered head tube is wider at the bottom for better force transfer from the fork to the frame.
