Field Test: Ghost Riot Trail Full Party - The Mixed Message Machine

Dec 2021 · Mike Kazimer

I'm a huge fan of the concept behind the Riot Trail – the idea of a tough, shorter travel trail bike with a coil shock is good one, which made it all the more frustrating when it didn't live up to its promise out on the trail.

Highs
  • Formula suspension and brakes help it stand out from the crowd.

  • Reasonable price considering the parts kit

Lows
  • Heavy, especially for a 140mm trail bike

  • Geometry holds it back in steeper terrain

  • Noticeable suspension bob while climbing
