Ghost Kato EQ 29 2025

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

• 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most mountain bikes.
• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano Tourney.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• 18 kg, on the heavy side for a mountain bike; the ranking's reference weight is 14.4 kg.

What B.O.C. lists, and what it has today

Where to buy

Other shops list what looks like this bike, but we cannot confirm it is the same build, because the model year or drivetrain is not settled, so we do not compare their prices.

Price so far

• B.O.C. states an RRP of €699 (30% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
