Ghost Lector Advanced 2026 (Mystic Black/Silver Mist Glossy)

The fourth generation of the GHOST Lector hardtail guarantees ultimate XC performance. Its elegant design, agility and premium components set a new standard in both performance and carbon frame construction. It is ready to conquer race courses and push limits.

The 4th generation of the Lector hardtail probably has just one disadvantage: you will no longer have any excuses. Every detail is optimised for maximum performance. The newly developed carbon frame is not only dazzling to look at but also offers an ideally balanced ratio between weight and stiffness. Its specific race geometry is designed for precise handling and maximum agility on technically demanding courses. Ghost developed the new Lector in close cooperation with the riders of the Ghost Factory Racing Team. Thanks to them, the new Ghost bike is technically optimised to meet even the most demanding requirements of XC racers.

The suspension system also aims for maximum performance, with travel ranging from 110 mm (sizes XS-M) to 120 mm (sizes L/XL).

The new generation has a longer reach, a steeper seat tube angle (75.7°) and a seatpost with no offset. The reach is now 510 millimetres in size L. Combined with a head angle of 68° and chainstay length of 430 millimetres, this results in a wheelbase of 1221 millimetres.
