Ghost SL AMR 6.7 AL: first ride review - MBR

Apr 2019 · Paul Burwell

Coil-sprung suspension combines attitude and aptitude but is the Ghost SL AMR 6.7 AL's extra weight compensated for by better performance?

Highs
  • Coil shock offers impressive ride performance, nippy handling, great value.

Lows
  • It’s next to impossible to get to the rebound on the rear shock, dropper doesn’t full insert into the frame, minimal traction/grip from the semi-slick rear tyre.

GHOST SL AMR X 5.9 AL review

May 2018 · Christoph Bayer

GHOST has presented the new GHOST SL AMR X as the antithesis of marketing hype and hot air. The bike's stand-out feature is its coil shock on the rear. But does this concept work on a trail bike, and will it make the SL AMR X the ultimate all-purpose weapon?

Ghost SL AMR LC 4 first ride review

Sep 2016 · Ben Plenge

With the Schwalbe rubber fitted it was hard to test this bike’s true ability, so we swapped out the front tyre for a nice and sticky Michelin Wild Grip’R, which transformed the feel of the AMR and enabled us to push it closer to its limits.. .
