David meets Goliath. Fox against rabbit. Ferrari vs Volkswagen. With the new GHOST RIOT AM Full Party and its electric counterpart, the Path RIOT Full Party with FAZUA Ride 60 motor, you have the choice of light weight and playful handling, or extra power and support. We took both bikes to a trail party.

With the RIOT AM Full Party and Path RIOT Full Party, GHOST have unveiled their first downhill-oriented carbon enduro full-susser.

Both bikes share exactly the same geometry and a near-identical spec. According to the German manufacturer, the two models were developed together, which should ensure consistent performance across the range.
