⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Half the Price of Super 73" "My son loves his new bike. I was debating between this and a Super 73 for him since that's what all his friends have. I'm stoked we decided to move forward with the GhostCat as the bike looks great, is full suspension, has great power, and cost me half what it would have if we purchased a 73." - Verified GhostCat Owner
