The Ghost Riot Lector 9 stirs up the segment of short-travel trail bikes with its 130mm of rear travel and balanced geometry. The patented RIOT-Link, combined with the new disconnect brake mount attaching the rear brake directly to the X12 axle, ensures the rear suspension remains fully active during hard braking. The outstanding aesthetics and thoughtful attention to detail make the Ghost a hot candidate for 2014.
