Ghost Lector SF LC Essential raw carbon/blue matt/glossy

With this mountain bike, limits can be pushed and races won – as team rider Anne Terpstra has already impressively demonstrated in the World Cup. Based on the pioneering SuperFit concept, the LECTOR hardtail has become the ultimate cross-country machine, with which even the most technical descents can be mastered with confidence. Because SuperFit promises not only a perfectly fitting bike, but also full control, comfort and efficiency. New for this model year are the nobly equipped World Cup Replica Edition and the LECTOR Frameset, which can be used to create your very own equipment variants.

AXS READY
The bike can be converted particularly well to SRAM’s electronic shifting set, no cable routing holes remain open in the frame.

SUPERFIT GEOMETRY
At GHOST, a new era in bike development is in so you can say goodbye to traditional construction methods. From now on, they rely on a specially developed algorithm for the holistic calculation of the so-called “from-rider-to-bike geometries” for their bikes. This algorithm is called SuperFit.

Leaf spring design
Inspired by the operation of a leaf spring, the rear end of the LECTOR has been completely redesigned, minimising vibrations at the rear of the frame. The result: improved traction at high speeds and more comfort for the rider.

Integrated down tube protection
The resilient guard protects not only the down tube, but also the beautifully concealed brake and shift cables routed underneath. For easy handling, the protector can be removed and mounted without tools. This means that all cables can be accessed without tools and can be easily replaced at any time.

RIVKLE bottle cage
From frame size S-XL two RIVKLE bottle cages always fit the bike.

SuperFit saddles
SuperFit saddles are variably adjustable in width and thus fit perfectly for every sit bone width.

Eccentric handlebars
The handlebars allow variable backsweep values due to their eccentric shape. Special adjustment aids make it easier to adjust the brake levers to prevent pain and numbness.

Flat mount brake mount
In order to give the chainstays and seatstays the free space necessary for their vibration-inhibiting effect, Ghost have opted for a flat mount brake mount. Looks compact and solves space problems.

Flex Stays – seat and chain stay
Invisible plus: The Flex Stays in the seat stay and chain stay give the rear stay the possibility to deflect directionally upwards and are thus a serious plus for comfort.

Neatly laid / easily accessible
Invisibly laid, but still openly accessible: with the special shape of the down tube Ghost make the cables disappear. However, if something should happen, you can still get to it without much effort.

Wider is better
Boost means wider hubs. As simple as it is, the improvement is massive: wider hubs bring more stability with larger wheel diameters.

Competition-oriented
The developers at Ghost know what it takes on the track. Firstly, because their team cyclists constantly provide them with a lot of feedback. On the other hand, the development team itself consists of former (and partly still active) riders. So Ghost deliver a race-ready product: out of the box ready for the track.

Best braking force / ultimate dosing
Whether in the city or off-road: the hydraulic disc brakes grip reliably safe and fast even in wet conditions, can be dosed well and are not susceptible in terms of dirt or loss of performance.

The smart way to store tools
With the extremely lightweight but robust Smarttube Tools, the most important tools you need when biking can be easily stored in the handlebar. The minitool includes four hexagonal and one star 25 attachment. The Smarttube chain tool comes with a tubeless repair function, tubeless plugs and a receptacle for a chain link.
