Ghost DH 9000 Suspension Bike 2012

Caution! Highly addictive! With this bike, downhill can’t be any faster. Our masterful aluminium frame with new carbon rocker is equipped with the most exclusive components. Kashima coated Fox chassis, Sram X.0 DH derailleur and Tune wheelset. Top times on this bike are no accident.

Technologies:
• Needle Bearing System: Our Needle Bearing System ensures super sensitive chainstay performance, as many test results have impressively shown. The technology is both simple and ingenious. The needle bearings are located in the damper eye, replacing commonly used bush bearings, and ensure a minimum break-away torque. The break-away torque is the permanent force that needs to be overcome before the shock element activates. The low torque results in an outstanding responsiveness to even the smallest bumps.
• Hydroforming Tubeset: Our aluminium frames featuring this new technology draw attention to themselves, but not only for their distinct appearance. By tuning the tube, we achieve a weight stiffness optimization which provides the entire bike with increased stability at a lower weight.
• Bogey Roll: The damping system is no longer affected by the rider’s weight on the pedals. By using the Bogey Roll, the chain growing effect approaches Zero and no longer interferes with the active damping process.
• Anti Squat Technology: Clever positioning of the rear triangle pivot points eliminates squatting during pedaling (anti-squat effect) and offers efficient power transmission without unwanted bobbing. Traction is improved and negative forces are eliminated.
• ISCG: Our 4X and DH frames are ISCG compatible. The International Standard Chain Guide is a standardized 3-point mounting system to mount chain guides to bottom bracket shells. The advantage: Mounting chain guides does not require disassembly and reassembly of the bottom bracket.
• GQC Ghost Quality Center - We Test - You Ride: We only accept premium quality. This is why our bicycles and all components are tested according to the latest technology standards. Our test labs enable us to simulate trail and real-world riding in the lab and to fast-forward a bike’s entire life cycle within a few days. We want to make absolutely sure that you are not a part of our test series, but get a bicycle you can trust
• 3D-Hot Forging: Thanks to 3D-hot forging technology it is now possible to forge even the most difficult three-dimensional moulds. Unlike milled components, 3D forging technology yields a denser material structure of the aluminium alloy, which results in improved structural strength.
• TLC: Tender Loving Care: Our bike think tank thrives on the daily motivation and commitment of our team to do their best for your bicycle. Even after office hours the fascination and love for bicycle sports has a hold on us. We are proud of our bikes and rest only when you are happy with your GHOST as well.
• Handmade: Our bikes are assembled by hand at our headquarters in Waldsassen. Our "All under one roof“ strategy makes for short distances, a fast supply chain, and guarantees high quality assembly. We can be flexible and guarantee quicker availability of our bikes
• GCT: Ghost Custom Tubing: We do not use standardized tubesets, but develop our frames and required tubes ourselves. A lightweight, yet sturdy frame requires specifically adapted forms and wall thicknesses.
• Ghost Custom Setup: In cooperation with our damper suppliers we perfectly tuned the dampers to GHOST’s frame kinematics. The setup was optimized specifically for GHOST and guarantees perfect performance. An ideal setup and the sky is the limit!
• Balanced Center of Gravity: Due to the low bottom bracket and a central damper position, the center of gravity is central and low. The perfect weight distribution guarantees neutral and balanced handling.
• DRG Dirt Rippn Geometry: From professionals for professionals. Our Dirt Rippin Geometry is not only designed for speed, but offers reserves in even the most extreme situations. With Dirt Rippin Geometry, our World Cup stars cut a great figure all around the globe.
• COC: Competence Center Waldsassen: Development and assembly, test procedures and rides, everything happens under one roof here.
