After spending quite some time & resources flying paragliders in competitions (well actually you have to sacrifice a lot to participate at the World Cup level), it’s good to know that it’s possibly to vary with other fun activities too. I recently got myself this beauty. Previously my attitude was “a bicycle is a bicycle” but after trying one of these carbon full suspension wonders, I’m sold. My new full suspension toy, Ghost AMR Lector 2995 E:I (German brand) has a carbon frame, full Shimano XTR, 29″ wheels, and a computer that controls the back suspension in real time. It measures riding conditions 10 times / second based on speed, how much the front fork is working and whether or not you’re pedaling. The result is a really smooth ride on bike trails here at Kongsberg’s woods. It climbs like a mountain goat, it’s almost a bit crazy. Combined with kitesurfing this bike will increase my exercise level significantly. 🙂
