Our read
Ride

Soft, balanced cushioning tuned for smoother terrain and pavement rather than aggressive off-road bite. Heavy at 301g with modest 3mm lugs, so it feels planted but not nimble.

Fit

Standard width only with a secure, roomy Ghost-style fit; no wide option limits accommodation.

Best for

Runners who split time between road and easy dirt paths and want familiar Ghost comfort.

Avoid if

You run technical, muddy, or steep trails where deeper lugs and a rock plate matter.
