Ghost Lector SF

The Ghost Lector SF 2023 is a high-quality mountain bike designed for discerning riders. Priced at 2,799 EUR, it offers top-class specifications and cutting-edge technology. The bike’s frame is made from CARBON LECTOR LC, resulting in a total weight of just 11 kg and thus providing an excellent foundation for a light and agile riding experience.

For the brakes, Ghost has opted for the reliable Formula Cura 2 disc brakes with 180 mm discs at the front and 160 mm at the rear. The brake levers are also from Formula Cura, ensuring a consistent and powerful braking experience.

The rear derailleur is an SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed system which, together with the SRAM PG1210 cassette (11–50 teeth) and the Truvativ Stylo 6K crankset with a 32-tooth chainring, delivers precise and efficient shifting performance. The bottom bracket is an SRAM Pressfit, which provides additional stiffness and durability.

The Rock Shox Recon Gold RL Remote fork offers 100 mm of travel, available in size XSM, whilst the LXL sizes offer 120 mm of travel. This fork provides excellent damping and control on rough terrain.

The Ground Fiftyone handlebar has a diameter of 31.8 mm and varies in width depending on frame size: 700 mm for XS, 720 mm for S, 740 mm for ML and 760 mm for XL. This is complemented by the Ground Fiftyone stem, which is 45 mm long and has a 6-degree angle. The grips are WTB Trail II, which ensure comfort and a firm grip.

The wheelsets consist of WTB ST Light i25 rims, laced with DT Swiss 2.0 spokes. The tyres are Schwalbe Racing Ralph Performance 29x2.25, fitted to both the front and rear. The hubs are from Shimano: the HBMT410B (15x110 mm) at the front and the FHMT400B (12x148 mm) at the rear.

The saddle is a Selle Italia SLS, mounted on a GND 51 carbon seatpost with a diameter of 34.9 mm. The saddle is clamped in place using a GW seat clamp with a diameter of 38.0 mm.

The frame geometry is well thought-out: the reach is 407 mm and the stack is 599 mm. The seat tube length is 393 mm, whilst the top tube length is 582 mm. The head tube angle is 68 degrees and the seat tube angle is 74 degrees. The head tube is 90 mm long, the chainstay length is 430 mm and the bottom bracket drop is 65 mm. The standover height is 680 mm and the wheelbase measures 1108 mm. The standard crank length is 170 mm.

In summary, the Ghost Lector SF 2023 offers an impressive combination of lightness, stability and performance, making it particularly suitable for ambitious mountain bikers who value quality and functionality.
