How it compares

On travel, the Ghost E-ASX is right where the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category usually is: 140–160 mm up front against a median of 150 mm from 101 bikes. Within Ghost’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Ghost Path Riot and the Ghost E-Riot on travel. Ghost builds the frame from aluminium.

Entry costs €4,499 for the E-Asx Essential build – less than the category median of €5,500. The top build, E-Asx Abs EQ, costs €6,499. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox Psylo Silver RC to the FOX 36 Float. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX with a 600–800 Wh battery. Ghost gives a maximum system weight of 150 kg for bike, rider and luggage combined. Wheel sizes differ by build or frame size: 27.5 / 29.

Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (RockShox Psylo Silver RC): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
Rebound: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
Shock (Check manually): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.

Target SAG for the Ghost E-ASX

SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Ghost take priority.

160 mm fork (E-Asx Essential, E-Asx Universal, E-Asx Universal, E-Asx Advanced, E-Asx Abs)

Riding style	Fork SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 27 mm
Trail	20 % = 32 mm
Enduro / rough	22 % = 35 mm
Bike park	20 % = 32 mm

150 mm fork (E-Asx Essential EQ, E-Asx Universal EQ, E-Asx Abs EQ)

Riding style	Fork SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 26 mm
Trail	20 % = 30 mm
Enduro / rough	22 % = 33 mm
Bike park	20 % = 30 mm

140 mm fork (E-Asx Essential EQ Low, E-Asx Universal EQ)

Riding style	Fork SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 24 mm
Trail	20 % = 28 mm
Enduro / rough	22 % = 31 mm
Bike park	20 % = 28 mm

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: Continental Xynotal Trail Endurance, foldable skin SL 60-622; Schwalbe Johnny Watts Performance, DD, RaceGuard, 67EPI 60-584.

Ready-to-ride weight	Front	Rear
60 kg	1.40 bar (20 psi)	1.60 bar (23 psi)
70 kg	1.52 bar (22 psi)	1.72 bar (25 psi)
80 kg	1.64 bar (24 psi)	1.84 bar (27 psi)
90 kg	1.76 bar (26 psi)	1.96 bar (28 psi)
100 kg	1.88 bar (27 psi)	2.08 bar (30 psi)
110 kg	2.00 bar (29 psi)	2.20 bar (32 psi)
120 kg	2.12 bar (31 psi)	2.32 bar (34 psi)

Air pressure in the fork and shock

You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.

Note: all information without guarantee. Specs can differ by model year, frame size and market – the type plate, the owner’s manual and Ghost’s information are authoritative. Never exceed the maximum pressures of fork, shock, tyres and rims.
