It is characterised by a riding position suitable for touring, which is not too upright and still allows a sporty gait. The saddle, handlebar tape and tyres of the Ghost fit nicely into the design, the cables run inside the frame. The equipment is at class level. The Ultegra rear derailleur does not improve the 105 groupset functionally; higher-quality wheels, handlebars or saddle would have a more positive impact on the riding experience, although the saddle with the Ghost label is very comfortable. The thin, overly wide handlebars might not be particularly comfortable for many cyclists.
CONCLUSION Fresh look, technically inconspicuous in a positive sense: balanced overall package with comfortable seating position
