Touring eMTB: Ghost Teru FSX 6.0 on test
Beneath the Ghost's high-gloss black paint is an aluminium chassis with feel-good geometry that makes long and steep climbs particularly fun.

The gear ratio is sufficiently short for this, and the fairly long chainstays ensure good ground contact on the front wheel. A disadvantage downhill? No. Although the Teru is not a real cornering artist, it is always pleasantly neutral. The Rock Shox suspension is firm, but offers sufficient comfort and travel. The component mix is also impressive: an adjustable seat post with internal cable routing, powerful Avid brakes with a large disc and 2.35 Nobby Nic in the Trailstar compound are not commonplace in this class.


ConclusionA great touring bike with powerful suspension, solid components and the powerful Bosch CX drive with 500 battery.
