This one threads the tricky line between value and performance with aplomb, and is an excellent entry into the world cross-country riding. Ghost "cockpit control" design gives the ASX 5100 a shorter stem and wider bars to give you control without changing your upper body position. Shimano® Deore and XT components give you speed and precision, and the M445 disc brakes add reliable velocity control. The hanger is mounted on the inside of the chainstay to reduce bending stress and provide more direct shifting. The 650B (27.5in.) wheel size marries the agility of a 26in. wheel with the smoothness of a 29er to create very nimble, extra stable traction.
- 7000 series aluminum frame is strong and durable, while keeping the weight low and the cost reasonable
- Tapered head tube is wider at the bottom for better force transfer from the fork to the frame. The increased stiffness offers direct, reactive steering

- Reverse hanger technology creates more direct shifting, mounting the hanger on the inside of the chain stay, reducing bending stress during shifting
