This test bike - the Ghost Asket Essential EQ AL 28" gravel bike - brings a new and fresh wind among gravel bikes. Built on an aluminum, more relaxed and adventurous frame and a solid carbon fork, it offers standard Maxxis Ravager 700x40c gravel shoes. Thanks to the longer fork it has a higher head frame, while the rear part of the frame is noticeably sloping. Its equipment consists of Shimano GRX gears and powerful brakes. The EQ variant is also equipped with lights, practical fenders and a rack.
