The Ghost E-Riot Trail Pro has 140mm rear and 150mm front travel on a frame consisting of a carbon front triangle and aluminium one-piece rear, with forged one piece rocker. Assist comes in the form of a Bosch Performance Cx Gen 4 motor and 625Wh battery, which you’ll be wanting as the bike in a size medium weighs 52.36lbs/23.75kg – not inconsiderable.

Three things I’d change
- The weight. It’s a beast, and you’ll know about it if you try and do any cheeky footpath type manoeuvres, or have a cluttered garage.
- The dropper. It got sticky, and why does it have a rear offset?
- The bars. The ride position feels too precarious and aggressive as it comes.
Three things I liked
- The motor – powering your way up a climb while towing your child so you can enjoy the descent together is priceless.
- The saddle. One I felt no need to swap out – very unusual for me.
- The tool-free front wheel removal. You’re not going to be lifting this onto a roof rack, and this makes it a lot easier to get the wheel off and into the car.
