Ghost Lector LC 3 review

Sep 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Phenomenally stiff power delivery, at the expense of comfort and speed when on rough trails

Highs
  • Rock-solid power transfer from pedal to trail, quality Shimano XT transmission and Evo spec Schwalbe Rocket Ron tyres

Lows
  • Stiff frame chokes speed on even vaguely rough terrain, RockShox Recon fork batters and clatters on bigger hits
