How it compares

The Ghost Lector FS is not a budget bike: even the Advanced build costs €5,499, while the category median is €4,350. For the Pro build, Ghost asks €7,499. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 34 FLOAT SL Performance GRIP to the RockShox SID Ultimate 3P. Ghost gives a maximum system weight of 120 kg for bike, rider and luggage combined.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 34 FLOAT SL Performance GRIP): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- 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.
Target SAG for the Ghost Lector FS
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.
110 mm fork (Advanced)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 19 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 22 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 24 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 22 mm |
120 mm fork (Pro)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.40″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Racing Ray Super Race, Addix Speed, 67EPI 60-622.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|

Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
