Due to the tight supply situation for individual components, bikes may sometimes be delivered with deviating equipment. However, any alternative components used will be of a corresponding quality to that of the original components.
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.
