Origin
Ghost launched the E-Riot in 2019 by transplanting their TractionLink trail suspension into an e-MTB platform — the same kinematics that make the Riot Trail work so well on rough descents, now amplified by a Bosch motor for brutal climbs. The current carbon CF generation runs Bosch's latest Performance CX motor (the 'quieter' cooling-fin version) with 800 Wh of battery, Fox Factory suspension, and a mullet wheel setup. Ghost engineered a high bottom bracket and lowered top tube to keep motor ground clearance and rider fit optimised for big-hit enduro.

The verdict
+Strengths
- Bosch Performance CX 85 Nm + 800 Wh is a proven, reliable powertrain with good range
- TractionLink suspension gives genuine enduro performance; the motor adds range, not compromises
- Mullet wheel setup and 64° head angle give class-competitive geometry
−Weaknesses
- Carbon CF builds are expensive; AL builds are heavier and use lower-tier suspension
- 170/160 mm travel makes it an enduro specialist — not a lightweight everyday e-MTB
- Bosch Kiox 300 is functional but lacks the polish of newer displays from some competitors
