Description
The Ghost Kato 24 is a super-solid bike that will help young riders learn to stomp hills and float trails. Built with reliable components from trustworthy brands, the frame is light, the shifting is smooth, and the braking is precise and consistent. Hydraulic brakes provide great stopping power and require less force to operate. Front suspension smooths out bumps and roughness, making the ride feel more predictable and helping the rider feel in control.
- Aluminum frame is strong and durable, while keeping the weight low and the cost reasonable.
- Suspension fork has 50mm of travel.
- Hydraulic disc brakes keep speed under control.
- Shimano® components and 8-speed derailleur.
- 24-in. wheelset.
- 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.
