Ghost KATO FS ESSENTIAL High black/metallic green bay 2026

Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

The compromises

• Mixed groupset: not every component is SRAM SX Eagle.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• 16.5 kg, on the heavy side for a mountain bike; the ranking's reference weight is 14.7 kg.

Your size

What bikes.de lists, and what it has today

Centimetre equivalents are the ones the shop prints beside each letter size. This brand publishes no centimetre equivalence we can verify, so the bike appears only when you pick a letter size.
