Ghost Cross 5500 Lady City Bike 2011

It doesn’t matter if long tours on level roads or spontaneous off-road trips are your passion. You never know what’s ahead and you don’t have to. The GHOST Cross bikes are up for anything. A combination of a mountain bike’s stability and a race bike’s speed. The 28” hybrids are nearly as robust as pure offroad bikes and almost as fast as classic race bicycles. We employ reliable mountain bike technology combined with 28” wheels, the perfect combination for a spontaneous trip down the next gravel trail. For this year, we optimized numerous details: redesigned seat stays, combined with new drop-outs and brake mounts provide for more athleticism. Your GHOST will always be adventurous Technologies: • 3D Forged Dropout: Thanks to 3D-hot forging technology it is now possible to forge even the most difficult three-dimensional molds. Unlike milled components, 3D forging technology yields a denser material structure of the aluminium alloy, which results in improved structural strength. • CoC – Center of Competence: Competence Center Waldsassen: Development and assembly, test procedures and rides, everything happens under one roof here. • GQC - Ghost Quality Control - 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. • OHT - Oversized Head Tube: The oversized head tube is able to improve force transfer from the fork to the frame. The broader frame tube structure increases the frame's torsion strength and ability to better withstand stress. • 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 your are happy with your GHOST as well. • CCH - Continuous Cable Housing: Our mountain bikes feature derailleur cables with continuous cable housing. Great long-term shift performance is guaranteed by eliminating any negative effects dirt might cause in the derailleur cables. • 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. • Handmade – Handassembled in Germany: 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. • Ovalized: Oval tube cross-sections are used in order to compensate for forces and stress in specific areas of the frame. The result is a stiffer, yet lightweight frame.
