The Lowdown: GHOST Riot 7 LC Trail Bike
GHOST is a German bike brand that is new to the U.S. for 2015 and their bikes are sold exclusively through REI. Since our First Look article a couple of months ago, REI has expanded their GHOST offerings from 1 model to 29 models including women's specific mountain bikes, road bikes, hardtails (with 27.5" or 29" wheels) and even commuters. The GHOST Riot 7 LC is an all mountain/trail bike with 130mm of rear travel, 27.5" wheels and a full carbon frame. If you are the type of person that likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd, buying and riding a GHOST will definitely appeal to you. Besides its full carbon construction, the Riot 7 LC utilizes a very unique suspension design that delivers an active ride.
