Ghost has been a constant player at the highest level of XC racing for years and the Ghost Lector LC 3 is an unashamedly rigid, power-focused frameset designed to put you in pole position from the gun. That means the ride is punishing even on groomed trails, though.
With its sharp-angled geometric tubes and contrasting stripes, the Lector’s carbon frame is visually striking and it’s engineered to pack a physical punch. Removable cheek panels on the tapered head tube give fully internal cable routing, while the massive down tube engulfs the press-fit (PF) bottom bracket.
The stout seat tube flares backwards to lock power transmission down, over the deep, tapering chainstays ahead of the 142x12mm thru-axle. The 31.6mm seatpost gives a spread of external dropper upgrade options.

The frame comes in an XS size and offers compatibility with Shimano side swing front mech routing, and comes with a direct mount rear mech.

Shimano XT is a good score at this price and, even if you don’t want a double crankset, the 11-speed, 11-40t cassette is wide enough to work fine in single-ring mode. Having brakes that are downgraded to Deore is actually a bonus, compared to often inconsistent XT stoppers, especially as you get a heavy-duty 180mm front rotor for extra power.
