Sep 2017 · Saris Mercanti

This playful 130mm travel 27.5 trail bike is one heck of a deal, but it's also held back some by odd component spec choices and some dated geometry. - Mtbr.com

Ghost Kato 2 (2016) review - MBR

Jul 2016 · Alan Muldoon

The top-quality Ghost Kato 2 frame never has a chance to shine through

Highs
  • Top-quality frame with superb geometry and sizing

Lows
  • Poor performing RST fork and lower spec 3x8 drivetrain

Great value on paper and good-looking in the metal, but vague high-speed handling needs some spec changes to sort
