The shop's feature list
- Ghost Kato Essential 29 light grey/black - matt 2022 Du drehst gerne am Abend ein paar Runden auf Schotterpisten oder Waldwegen? Du möchtest dein Bike aber auch im Alltag nutzen? Dann ist das Kato Essential 29 das Mountainbike für dich! Dieses Hardtail-MTB mit Aluminium-Rahmen rollt auf 29”-Rädern und klettert effizient, auch in hügeligem Gelände. Wenn es mal etwas ruppiger zugeht, bügelt die 100mm-Federgabel den Untergrund glatt. Bei den Komponenten haben wir darauf geachtet, dass diese einwandfrei funktionieren, lange halten und trotzdem nicht zu sehr dein Portemonnaie belasten.
