The "Asket" model from the "Ghost" brand, released in 2023, is a high-quality bicycle that stands out for its wide range of technical features and is available at a price of 1,599 EUR. The bike’s frame is made of aluminium (ALUMINIUM ASKET AL), contributing to a total weight of 11 kg and thus guaranteeing a lightweight yet stable ride.
The Asket’s braking system comprises Shimano BRRS305 160 mm disc brakes, operated by Shimano Sora STR3000 brake levers. The front brake disc is a Shimano SMRT30 with a diameter of 160 mm. This combination ensures reliable and powerful braking performance in a variety of riding conditions.
The bike features a Shimano Sora RDR3000 9-speed rear derailleur and a Shimano Sora FDR3030 front derailleur, which together offer a total of 18 gears. This allows for a wide range of gear changes that can be adapted to different types of terrain. The crankset is an FSA CKC201ST with 46/30 teeth, whilst the cassette is a Shimano CSHG4009 with a gear ratio of 11-34. Power is transmitted via a KMC X9 chain.
The Asket’s fork is made of carbon (GHOST Carbon), which further reduces weight whilst also providing improved shock absorption. The pedals are FPD NW91K, and the bottom bracket is a Feimin FPB908N.
The handlebars, a Gravel Bar RA120A, vary in width depending on the frame size: 420 mm (XS), 440 mm (S), 460 mm (M), 480 mm (L) and 500 mm (XL). The grips are Fizik Tempo Bondcrush, and the stem has a diameter of 31.8 mm and a length of 60 mm. The headset is from Acros.
The wheelsets consist of WTB ST i25 rims fitted with DT Swiss 2.0 spokes. The tyres are Maxxis Ravager Exo TR 40-622, both front and rear. The hubs are Shimano HBRS470 (front, 12x100 mm) and Shimano FHMT400 (rear, 12x142 mm).
The saddle is a Selle Royal SRX, mounted on a GND 51 seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The seatpost clamp is by GHOST and has a diameter of 31.8 mm.
The bike’s geometry is also noteworthy: the reach is 444 mm, the stack 666 mm, the seat tube length 560 mm and the top tube length 639 mm. The head tube angle is 71 degrees and the seat tube angle is 74 degrees. The head tube is 220 mm long, the chainstay length is 440 mm, and the bottom bracket is dropped by 62 mm. The standover height is 820 mm, the crank length is 175 mm and the wheelbase measures 1150 mm in total.
In summary, the 2023 Ghost Asket model offers a well-thought-out combination of high-quality components and well-balanced geometry, making it suitable for both sporty riding and longer tours.
