Description
For when you're ready to up your XC game, this super solid 29’er delivers. The aluminum hardtail frame with XC geometry is stable, playful and totally agile. 29'ers roll over pretty much everything, and are robust enough to survive the odd botched line or landing. Single track ready fork features a bar mounted lock-out for extended climbs or city riding. Hydraulic discs provide powerful braking and modulation in the wet and dry, and are a cinch to bleed if/when the time comes. A mixed groupset of Deore and XT is reliable and smooth, while the mega sized 11-36T 10 speed cassette mountain-goats the gnarliest climbs or descents.
- Ghost 7005 series aluminum frame is lightweight, ultra-strong and vibration dampening.
- 29in. wheelset provides a ride that's fast and able to roll over pretty much anything.
- Suntour Radion RL-R 100mm fork remotely locks out and is rebound adjustable.
- Solid Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power and modulation.
- Time-proven Deore 10 speed shifters are reliable and fast-shifting.
- Shimano triple crank offers a wide-ranging ring size for effective climbing and flat-level pace.
- Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement. You can bring your bike to any MEC bike shop for free adjustments and minor maintenance for a year after purchase.
- Ghost Bikes are designed in Waldsassen, Germany. Every model reflects a deep passion for cycling and meticulous attention to detail.
