Thank you for the review (I was the one asking for it :) ). I must say that i don't understand how a company can invest so much on a new bike, but putting out zero marketing and providing absolutely no info. In addition my Ghost local dealer don't know anything about the bike except what's on the site and a price. I contact Ghost with questions and got some additional info about the bike (Please see Ghost answer below):
1. The frame weight is not 100% fixed as the bike has not been produced yet. The serial production will start in a couple of days and I can send you an update as soon as the first bike has been weighed.
2. SRAM Pressfit DUB
3. The fork has an offset of 51mm in all frame sizes.
4. Yes, the big bolt is the "Postpin" and it fixes the dropper post.
The answers are from 21/11/19, I contact Ghost again on 25.12.19 asking about the weight and the additional questions that i originally asked and they didn't reply and until now i got nothing.
There is another review on youtube but i can't understand the language (czcams.com/video/LnfyqjlSgQQ/video.html)
* About the dropper post, the Ghost girls team are using a AXS reverb with internal adapter.
* I wonder what you guys think about the chainstays VS the chainwheel, in the pictures they seems to be almost in the same height, looks very scary :) or maybe it's only in the pictures.
Thanks,
Tom
Canyon also has the same cable routing
I would love to see similar video about the bike I'll be using next season: Superior XF Team Elite. Perhaps you can do something about the whole Superior Bikes range, as it's at least from my point of view quite interesting, especially with their pricing.
The GT Avalanche also has this kind of design
I just watched the Gravel bike video, but wow this rear triangle would be perfect for a gravel bike. It looks like it is still stiff sideways but will damper out those tiresome vibrations. As a MTB frame it certainly looks different but wonder how playful a bike with that long wheel base and 29" wheels will be. My scott scale is so boring compared to my old 26" mtb bikes.
Ktoś używał i czy poleca?
Looks to me like a typical over-engineered over-priced bike. Ghost have short warranties, only 3 years on the frame for some bikes and lower weight limits than many of their competitors. Looks to me like a product best avoided if you like to get value from your purchases. What does this re-engineering bring and what does it take away I can only see negatives myself because dual suspension mountain bikes exist at lower prices, lower weight and better rear suspension. The great thing about dual suspension bikes is the rear suspension takes the impact of the drop protecting the frame, here your expensive carbon frame is the rear suspension. I don't know what this bike will cost but I feel its extremely likely to be a completely non-competitive price based on the complicated carbon fibre frame. Sorry to be negative but it just looks like one of those products that innovates for the sake of innovation with actually no real benefit for the rider in reality. Just feels like there is good reasons why most brands wouldn't try this especially those who offer higher weight limits and lifetime warranties on their frames.
I still wonder about the frame weight...
@@e-sickbiker14 To be honest I'm not sure about frame weight too but Accell that own Ghost bikes are a pretty aggressive importer of Asian bikes and components. Of course I don't know what factory Accell/Ghost have used for their bikes but I know Accell have used some pretty basic and low end factories in the past. Some of their Raleigh bikes are extremely basic quality to say the least. I realise many of Accell's brands do often have assembly in Europe like Ghost, Lapierre and Haibike from frames and components mainly sourced from the far east. If its sourced from a Bangladesh CF factory I would not expect it to be super low weight where as if they have gone for a frame from a high end Taiwanese CF factory then maybe it is. Looking at weights across brands CF frames from the cheaper factories tend to be a bit heavier and they design in a bit more strength tolerance due to slightly inferior production techniques/consistency or cheaper carbon fibres.
@@e-sickbiker14 old Lector LC3 weighed about 25 lbs or 11kg ... new one may be same or less? Meh
