Due to the current supply situation, components fitted on bikes are subject to change. The components we list in our data sheet are the components you will have on your new bike. Deviations from components originally listed will be marked in a different colour.
Important: the product photos will differ from the actual bike in these cases!
The frame of the Ghost Kato has been completely redesigned, with internally routed cables and a fresh design. But one thing has remained the same: The KATO is simply fun!
With 100 mm of travel and extremely low-maintenance components, it is the perfect entry-level mountain bike that is available in many different variants: with single, dual or triple drive, with 27.5 or 29 inch wheels - and at a really attractive price.
The FEM-optimized frames have been optimized down to the last detail with complex calculations. This results in simple solutions, but much more complex than you might suspect.
The connection of chainstay and bottom bracket is a very crucial point on the bike. Through the elaborate forging solution, a very high stiffness and strength is achieved.
