Ghost Bikes used the Eurobike Media Days to present a new product lineup that includes three new full suspension models and one new trail-hardtail. All new bikes come with a modern geometry and will be availailable in carbon and aluminium.

Ghost FRAMR

As the most downhill-oriented bike, the FRAMR sports 160 mm travel in the front and rear. The bike will be available in five sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) and four equipment options. For the two most expensive equipment options, the main frame is carbon.

Das Ghost FR AMR hat mit 160 mm vorne und hinten den meisten Federweg der neuen AMR-Reihe.
The Ghost FRAMR offers 160 mm travel front and back, which is the longest travel of the new AMR-line.
Der edle Carbon-Hauptrahmen kommt bei zwei Modellen zum Einsatz.
Two models come with this sweet looking carbon-mainframe.

The Ghost FRAMR, SLAMR X, and SLAMR all share the same main frame. The change in rear travel is achieved through a changeable shock shock mount and different shock lengths. The ISCG- and FD-Mounts are removable as well, which makes for a variable frame.

Die interne Zugverlegung führt Züge nah am Tretlager vorbei, um eine Längung derer zu vermeiden.
The internal routing leads the cables close to the main pivot.
Die Bremse wird an dem neu entwickelten Y-Mount montiert.
The AMR-models use the newly developed Y-mount discbrake-mount.

The AMR frame uses a classic FSR suspension design to establish an easy-to-maintain and reliable platform. The bikes will be offered for a lower price than the (already released) Ghost Riot and is aimed at beginners and riders that are not looking to shave off the seconds at race tracks.

Am Cockpit sind an allen Modellen kurze 35 mm-Vorbauten verbaut.
All models come with short 35mm-stems.

All equipment options of the FRAMR come with forks with 34/35 mm-stanchions, air shocks with reservoir and a 1x-drivetrain. The rims have an inner diameter of 30mm to secure good performance with wide tyres.

Ghost SLAMR X

The SLAMR X sits in the middle of the new AMR-lineup and comes with 145mm travel in the back and 150mm in the front. Just like the FRAMR, the SLAMR X will be available in five sizes and four specs, two of which come with a carbon mainframe.

Like the FRAMR, the SLAMR X is spec’d with 34/35mm-diameter-forks with travel adjustment. Fittingly, the two aluminium-versions will come with 2x-drivetrain to turn the bike into a real allrounder.

Ghost SLAMR

With 130 mm in the front and the rear, the SLAMR is the bikes with the shortest travel of the new AMR-line. It is aimed at classic trailriding and comes in eight specs, five of which sport the carbon mainframe.

With 130 mm of travel, the SLAMR comes with 32mm forks and air shocks without reservoir. Also, all models except the top model come with a 2x-drivetrain. What they all have in common are the rims with 25 mm inner diameter.

Da das SL AMR auch für lange, steile Uphills konzipiert ist, kommen bei allen Ausstattungsvarianten 2fach-Antriebe zum Einsatz.

Ghost Asket

The Ghost Asket is a fun-oriented trail-hardtail with 27.5” wheels and is completely new in the lineup from Ghost. It comes with a short stem, wide bars and an internally routed dropper post. The bike will be available in five sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) and four specs.
