Ghost Poacha Full Party 29/27.5 2026

GHOST POACHA: FREERIDE WITHOUT COMPROMISE – With 180 mm of travel, a carbon frame and adjustable geometry, the POACHA copes with steep slopes, huge drops and fast trails with complete control. It is nimble and durable at the same time.

BUILT FOR ROUGH TERRAIN

Freeride has never played by the rules – and the POACHA is built for riders who do things their own way. Thanks to the mullet setup, the tuned Traction Link 3.0 system and adjustable geometry, it stays razor-sharp even in the roughest conditions. The carbon frame relies on the proven GHOST Traction Link technology, which ensures smooth and efficient suspension action. Whether you are accelerating, cornering at high speed or landing big jumps – the POACHA stays stable without losing its playfulness. The new virtual-pivot kinematics provide maximum traction, limit unwanted rear-end movement and maintain control even under hard braking.

With 180 mm of travel front and rear, the POACHA has plenty of reserves for big mountain lines while staying agile for quick changes of direction and technical tricks. Thanks to the Reach Adjuster you can fine-tune the frame length and wheelbase by + - 5 mm. The integrated flip chip also makes it easier to adjust the geometry to the terrain and riding style. The default "High" setting can be switched to "Low" – the bottom bracket drops by 7 mm, the seat angle slackens by 1° and the head angle by 0.5°. In High mode the steeper seat angle helps when pedalling, while Low mode is ideal for descents and technical sections.

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MOST DEMANDING CONDITIONS

The carbon frame is tested to category 5 standard and approved for a total weight of up to 120 kg (bike and rider weight). The advanced kinematics show their strengths in demanding terrain – the optimised shock angle ensures a sensitive and controlled response even on hard landings. The low-mounted shock lowers the bikes centre of gravity and increases its agility – especially in corners, during quick changes of direction and on steep technical descents.

GHOST bets on a balanced ratio between pedalling efficiency and sensitive rear suspension. The result is a bike that holds its line, transfers power efficiently and stays controllable even in extreme lean angles.

The POACHA also offers smart details that you will appreciate on long climbs and in tough terrain. It is ready for barspins without restricting handlebar movement, compatible with coil shocks and equipped with multiple frame protectors – ready to ride without compromise.

Approved even for dual-crown forks with up to 200 mm of travel and with the option to increase the rear travel to 190 mm by using a shock with a longer stroke (75 mm instead of 70 mm), the POACHA is ready even for the toughest downhill tracks in the world.

Thoughtfully placed mounting points for a bottle cage let you carry tools, a tube or other accessories right on the frame – practical, integrated and ready for whatever the trail brings.

ONE BIKE, THREE VERSIONS – THE POACHA RANGE

GHOST offers three variants of the model. The base POACHA model relies on a durable RockShox set – a ZEB Select fork at the front and a Vivid Select shock at the rear. The PRO version adds a premium Fox 38 Factory Grip X2 shock and powerful TRP DH-R Evo brakes. And those who want the best choose the POACHA FULL PARTY – equipped with RockShox ZEB Ultimate, Vivid Ultimate and the wireless SRAM GX AXS T-Type drivetrain – plus an integrated XLC multi-tool hidden in the fork steerer.

All models use the proven mullet setup with Continental Kryptotal tyres for maximum speed and control. The frame weighs just 3.8 kg (painted, size L) while retaining stiffness and strength. Available in sizes S to XL – the POACHA is designed for a wide range of riders who have one thing in common: they want to push boundaries and discover the unknown.

IT’S TIME FOR A GAME CALLED: “SEND IT!”

Freeride is not just a discipline – it is an attitude to life. In cooperation with our riders Tomáš Slavík and Korbi Engstler we created a bike that embodies this attitude. No drop is too big, no trail too wild. A rider who chooses the POACHA is not looking for the easiest way down – they create their own.
