Ghost HTX 29 Actinum 9000 Hardtail Bike 2012

The super light aluminium frame featuring Shimano XT drivetrain and Rock Shox Reba fork make you want more! More traction, more control, more safety and, naturally, more riding fun! With our HTX 29er, you’ve got more of everything!

Technologies:

• Tapered Headtube: The tapered head tube broadens towards the bottom leading to better force transfer from the fork to the frame. The increased stiffness of the tapered head tube combined with the tapered fork lead to the bicycle’s improved and more direct steering.

• SCL: Specific Chainstay length: The SCL principle: Chainstay lengths actually grow with their respective frame sizes. The ratio between chainstay lengths and wheelbase always stays the same. This yields a noticeable advantage: perfectly balanced riding performance regardless of how tall you are.

• Pressfit BB: PressFit Bottom Brackets feature bearing shells that are directly pressed – and not screwed - into the bottom bracket housing. The larger housing width allows for a wider down tube. Greater support width results in increased stiffness. The screwless design improves stability and reduces maintenance.

• Hydroforming Tubeset: Our aluminium frames featuring this new technology draw attention to themselves, but not only for their distinct appearance. By tuning the tube, we achieve a weight stiffness optimization which provides the entire bike with increased stability at a lower weight.

• GQC Ghost Quality Center - We Test - You Ride: We only accept premium quality. This is why our bicycles and all components are tested according to the latest technology standards. Our test labs enable us to simulate trail and real-world riding in the lab and to fast-forward a bike’s entire life cycle within a few days. We want to make absolutely sure that you are not a part of our test series, but get a bicycle you can trust

• E-Type: This technology means that the front derailleur is screwed directly onto the frame. Frame stressing shell mounting solutions are a thing of the past. The result of this system integration is another improvement yielding even lighter frames. In addition, you will also notice significantly improved performance. Thanks to the ultra-precise manufacturing process the derailleur is always perfectly located in relation to the chain ring. Crisp and supremely precise gear shifting provides even more riding fun.

• 3D-Hot Forging: Thanks to 3D-hot forging technology it is now possible to forge even the most difficult three-dimensional moulds. Unlike milled components, 3D forging technology yields a denser material structure of the aluminium alloy, which results in improved structural strength.

• TLC: Tender Loving Care: Our bike think tank thrives on the daily motivation and commitment of our team to do their best for your bicycle. Even after office hours the fascination and love for bicycle sports has a hold on us. We are proud of our bikes and rest only when you are happy with your GHOST as well.

• PM Direct: PM Direct’s screwless design and simplified adjustability has become the new chainstay standard. Mounting the brake caliper directly onto to the post results in a clean look and optimum heat transfer.

• Handmade: Our bikes are assembled by hand at our headquarters in Waldsassen. Our "All under one roof“ strategy makes for short distances, a fast supply chain, and guarantees high quality assembly. We can be flexible and guarantee quicker availability of our bikes

• GCT: Ghost Custom Tubing: We do not use standardized tubesets, but develop our frames and required tubes ourselves. A lightweight, yet sturdy frame requires specifically adapted forms and wall thicknesses.

• COC: Competence Center Waldsassen: Development and assembly, test procedures and rides, everything happens under one roof here.
