Ghost bikes

Anyone know anything about the Ghost Kato 4? Is it trail worthy. I got told it's like an enduro style hardtail anyone know if that's true. Also if anyone has any other suggestions for similar hardtails that are enduro style please suggest! Looking around £600
Thank

Link to spec helps.
This?

Enduro would destroy that, it's a rather poorly specced trail bike at that price.

Voodoo Bizango would be better.

That Ghost is pretty bad for the money. Nothing at £600 is really suitable for enduro, things like wheels won't be particularly strong and most bikes at this price have geometry aimed more at steady trail riding.

If you can stretch to £800, the 45650b would be a tough and capable option. Its not exactly 'enduro', but bombproof steel frame, slack geometry and 140mm travel make it competent enough on steep and big terrain at a 'budget' price ...

Another £50 would get you the Sonder Transmitter, again, slack and this time with 650b+ wheels .. would take you most places you would want to go ...

Looked at the on one website looks like some quality bikes thanks for the link!

Those OnOne frames are absolutely bombproof. I did a season of hardtail downhill racing on mine, it was built up like a tank but that frame took far more abuse than it was intended for.
