GHOST is Legit!
I did a lot of research before purchasing this on the current clearance sale. On a budget I was able to get a great set of components and a very nice frame. I took it for 19 mile test ride and it performed flawlessly. I feel stable, fast, and confident on the trail. Exceeded my expectation by alot!
Amazing ride!
This is my first real adventure into mountain biking. After doing the research and testing riding a few options, the Kato was hands-down the winner! It's a smooth ride, rugged, fun, and forgiving while being a bike that has continued to fit as my experience level grows.
MTN bike for any level rider
