Who Is The Ghost Kato FS Essential Suitable For?
For sporty use on off-road and on tours. Once all suspended, always all suspended. These mountain bikes were much heavier and less maneuverable than their hardtail counterparts in the past. The innovations of recent years have changed the situation. Comfort is increased and traction is significantly better without being heavier. New frames and high-quality components make these bikes to be taken seriously – for touring and racing. The full suspension provides exceptional comfort on long rides, while you can count on great traction on the trails. Full suspension mountain biking is the right choice for those who don't know exactly where the paths they take will take them.
The Advantages Of 27.5 Inch Wheels
The 27.5-inch wheels are the logical complement to the larger 29-inch wheels. It's the optimal compromise for smaller riders and trail fanatics. They combine ride and handling to meet all the rider's wishes. More agile than 29-inch wheels, it's the optimal choice for off-road driving, taking hairpin turns that leave little reaction time. This category offers the best choice for those who had 26 inch bikes. 27.5ers combine the best of both worlds and create bikes that are not limited in their use. Full suspension or hardtail, the 27.5 inch is the perfect middle, ideal tire size for anyone who wants to use their mountain bike the way a mountain bike was intended to be used.
The Advantages Of 29 Inch Wheels
The 29 inch is THE trend of recent years which has completely taken hold. First viewed critically by mountain bike purists, the bicycle industry recognized this trend and, after some teething difficulties, made it the new standard through continuous improvements. Initial issues with trail agility and the looks of small frame sizes have been optimally rebalanced through improvements and adjustments in frame construction and selected components. The advantage of 29" tires is the enormous smoothness of the ride. This saves power when going uphill and downhill, which is particularly advantageous on long tours. It is easier to roll over obstacles and other irregularities terrain. You also cover a greater distance by rotating the crankset. In the full suspension or semi-rigid version, a 29 will take you far.
