In today's era of rapid technological advancement, the technology of road bicycles continues to evolve. The GHOST - 24S - shimano R7170 Di2 EDS road bicycle stands out as an outstanding representative of this progress.
In terms of frame material, it uses Carbon T1000 aerodynamic (with internal cabling), vividly demonstrating the significant position that carbon fiber materials have occupied in the high - end road bicycle field. In the early days, road bicycle frames were mostly made of steel. While sturdy, they were heavy. Later, aluminum alloy frames gained popularity due to their lightweight and corrosion - resistant properties. Nowadays, the carbon fiber material, as used in the GHOST - 24S, with its ultra - light weight and excellent strength, has greatly enhanced the performance and riding experience of the bicycle.
Its drivetrain system also showcases a leap in technology. Equipped with the Shimano 105 ST - R7170 EDS electronic drivetrain system, evolving from the simple shifting devices of the past, this precise and fast electronic drivetrain enables cyclists to more easily handle diverse road conditions and slope changes. The Shimano R7150 front derailleur/rear derailleur (FD/RD) works in tandem with the advanced drivetrain system to ensure smooth and efficient gear shifting.
In the braking system, the Shimano ST - R7170 brake is a testament to the continuous improvement of braking technology. The advent of disc brakes has significantly enhanced braking performance, safeguarding cycling safety. The GHOST - 24S benefits from this, allowing cyclists to ride with peace of mind.
In addition, the other components of this bicycle also fully demonstrate the charm of technology. The Shimano FD - R7100 12S chainset, Shimano R7100 12S freewheel, and Shimano 12S chain work in harmony to ensure efficient and stable power transmission. The Continental UltraSport 700*25C tires perform excellently in terms of grip and comfort. The carbon fiber fork, rim, and handlebar not only reduce the overall weight of the bicycle but also ensure strength and maneuverability. With a weight of approximately 7.5 kg, it further highlights its innovative advantages in materials and design.
The GHOST - 24S road bicycle, with its all - round technological innovation, not only improves its own performance but also brings cyclists an ultimate riding experience. It is a wonderful presentation of the cutting - edge achievements in the development of road bicycle technology.
