Ghost Kato S3.9 AL

-

With the Kato S3.9, Ghost wanted to design a power-assisted mountain bike that felt like a mountain bike. To do so, Ghost narrowed the bottom bracket and crank position on the aluminum 29er frame to a be more traditiona­l. But when it’s needed, the 250-W Shimano e8000 system powered by a 506-Wh battery provides plenty of assistance for as many as 100 km. It’s controlled by a wireless display unit mounted on the handlebar. A Shimano Deore drivetrain gives reliable shifting; a set of Magura MT hydraulic disc brakes with big 203-mm rotors help bring the Alex md25 29" wheels and Schwalbe tires to a halt. Front suspension comes from an SR Suntour xcr 34 Air fork with 120 mm of travel. Available in four sizes. ( mec.ca)
