Ghost Cagua Lector Suspension Bike 2012

An Enduro in perfection. Combines our newly developed carbon frame with aluminium chainstay, Sram X.0 groupset, Tune wheelset and Rock Shox Reverb seat post. The Kashima coated Fox fork features 170 mm of travel. Super lightweight, super robust and superior performance. Experience our Enduro on a totally new level!

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

• MBB: Multi-function bottom bracket: The MBB is hollow-forged and unites a total of 5 functions in only one component: 1.Bottom bracket adapter 2.Main bearing for the rear triangle 3.Connection to the down tube 4.Damper linkage 5.Connection to the seat tube

• ISCG: Our 4X and DH frames are ISCG compatible. The International Standard Chain Guide is a standardized 3-point mounting system to mount chain guides to bottom bracket shells. The advantage: Mounting chain guides does not require disassembly and reassembly of the bottom bracket.

• 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 Direct: 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.

• Anti Squat Technology: Clever positioning of the rear triangle pivot points eliminates squatting during pedaling (anti-squat effect) and offers efficient power transmission without unwanted bobbing. Traction is improved and negative forces are eliminated

• 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.

• X12:Thanks to the new X-12 rear-axle standard, it makes sense to use a through-axle system on a wider spectrum of bicycles for the first time. The Syntace X-12 system is light and yet super stiff because the hub axle is clamped tightly into the rear triangle under great axial tension.

• 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.

• Smooth Ratio System: Two centimeters of travel at the rear wheel translate into one centimeter of travel at the damper. This is why the damper requires less air pressure, which in turn reduces stress on gaskets and movable parts and results in outstanding responsiveness and great durability.

• 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

• 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

• 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.

• Ghost Custom Setup: In cooperation with our damper suppliers we perfectly tuned the dampers to GHOST’s frame kinematics. The setup was optimized specifically for GHOST and guarantees perfect performance. An ideal setup and the sky is the limit!

• Balanced Center of Gravity: Due to the low bottom bracket and a central damper position, the center of gravity is central and low. The perfect weight distribution guarantees neutral and balanced handling.

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