Analog

Fixed Gear Commuting and Freestyle

The Analog is a a fixed gear freestyle bike that’s very strong, light, and despite being designed primarily for tricks, it’s a great bike for commuting. It uses the same tubes as our dirt jumping frames and has the same attention to detail and the same focused design as all our dirt  products. The Analog frames will fit tires up to 700x45C and will be barspinable with this size. The geometry is different than that found in traditional track bikes – the length of the top tube will be longer in the corresponding size, and we suggest using shorter stems (40-50mm) to achieve the correct riding position.

For 2013, the Analog gets some great upgrades. The traditional fixie hub is replaced by a much tougher unit, the frame has more tire clearance and the amazing Resist Nomad tires make good use of that.

MAIN CHANGES FOR 2013:
- frame with more tyre clearance
- updated hub (stronger cog support)
- new wider tires: Resist Nomad 700x45C

OTHER MAIN FEATURES:
- available in 3 frame sizes
- frame geometry with low stand over, sloping top tube, short chain stays, high bb
- frame with integrated seatpost clamp & clearance for up to 700x45c tires
- fork with 410mm axle to crown (barspinable)
- NS bikes cockpit including: Quark stem, Mint handlebar & Sam Pilgrim grips

Clash Jr

All Round / Freeride / Jumping

The Clash JR is a smaller version of our new bike, specifically designed for 9-13 year olds. A true all-round fun bike for young riders with a tough but light alloy frame. Perfect for all offroad applications, easy to pedal uphill and feels at home on jumps. Simple, multi-functional and affordable. At the same time it’s not a toy. It’s a real scaled down NS! We decided to use a “grown-up” 100mm travel suspension fork simply because it works great as opposed to most 24” kid’s forks, however the bike is designed so that the additional height of the fork does not hamper the riding position. The bike is also packed with a good selection of parts such as the NS cockpit, light Kenda SB8 tires, kid-friendly cranks, disk brakes front & back, 1×8 drivetrain so finally younger riders can get a feel of what NS bikes feel like.

MAIN FEATURES:
- new bike for younger riders who are serious about the sport
- new light & strong custom NS aluminium frame with ‘pro kids’ geometry, w/custom formed & butted tubes.

Holy 2

Street / Park / Pumptrack

The Holy is the perfect complete package for hardcore street and park riding. Compact geometry and no unnecessary parts, a nice price and lots of space for upgrading and fine tuning. The bike is packed with high end features such as the beautiful frame based on the Suburban, an NS cromoly fork and 3-pc tubular cromoly Salt cranks from our friends at Wethepeople that are mounted on the 8 spline BB with big sealed bearings. The geometry of the 26” version is the same as our high-end aftermarket frames, so when you slap on a suspension fork of your choice, the bike will have the same feel as Sam Pilgrim’s ride. But even right out of the box, the Holy will rock! Unlike many other bikes in this price range, there is no „do not jump!” warning sticker.

The 2013 Holy 2 features a cool upgrade – the Kenda Small Block 8 tires! Apart from that the bike has revised graphic design that includes our trademark aftermarket Lemon Lime paint scheme.

But even right out of the box, the Holy will rock! Unlike many other bikes in this price range, there is no „do not jump!” warning sticker.

The 2013 Holy 1 comes with a refreshed look and some significant upgrades. The most important one is that the freewheel rear hub has been replaced with a high-end Octane One 11T driver hub. This allowed us to spec a real microdrive drivetrain that not only looks better, but lasts longer. Add to that the change of the tires to Kenda Small Block 8 and this bike is really in a different league than last year’s model.

Metropolis 3

Dirt / Park / Street

The Metropolis is a dedicated dirt jumping bike. You can take the Metro straight out of the box and head to Mellowpark to practice your 360 nosedives, or even go for a big backflip at a Crankworx event. If you are not planning to go so far, hit the streets and practice some off-the-bank tailwhips. The bike is ready for this kind of stuff because it has all the features of a modern pro-level dirt bike. The geometry and parts have been chosen by our top riders, therefore the build is significantly different than what you normally find in “corporate” bikes.

The Metropolis 3 is built on a solid NS frame and fitted with high end NS / Octane One aftermarket parts in the cockpit, and at this price level this is really something exceptional. Our aim was to make an bike accessible to everyone and offer 100% of the function that high end bikes have, with the only compromise being slightly higher weight. But actually – you can make that up for free – just eat less and work out more!

The 2013 Metropolis 3 comes with a new fork. We spec’d the RST Dirt RA fork with 100mm of travel as it is a great combination of value vs. functionality. The bike now has a disc brake in the rear instead of the v-brakes (front disc brake is gone but that is usually removed by the rider anyway). And one more cool upgrade – the tires have been changed to the grippy Kenda Small Block 8!

MAIN CHANGES FOR 2013:
- Kenda Small Block 8 instead of K-Rad

The Metropolis 2 is built on a beautiful full-cromoly NS frame with a mid-BB and integrated headset, and is fitted with a complete NS cockpit which includes the light Quark stem, a Mint handlebar and new Sam Pilgrim grips. We spec’d the Marzocchi DJ3 fork and gave the bike 100mm of travel for more confidence on the big stuff. Two other cool features are that the bike runs on our own custom NS rims and has a compact drivetrain.

For 2013 we replaced the freewheel hub with a high end aftermarket 11T driver hub from Octane One and swapped the tires to Kenda Small Block 8. These two changes take this bike to another level.

The Metropolis 1 features loads of great parts mounted on a multi-butted NS cromoly frame We spec’d our FMB tour winning Proof handlebars, picked a special combo of lightweight tires from Kenda – in fact it’s the same setup that our pro riders use.

Soda 1

Freeride / Bike Park / Enduro

The Soda FR is a truly adjustable, do-it-all bike for new-school riders. Perfect for slopestyle, jumps and tricks in the short chainstay and short travel setting. Switch to long travel, place the wheel in the long chainstay position and the bike transforms into a plush and stable mini-dh machine. And what’s important, you can get the seat up and ride the bike to your favorite location without breaking a sweat. The heart of the bike is the super sturdy and reliable frame. Big bearings, rigid, burly and overbuilt. It will take anything you can throw at it. Just ask Jaws.

The Soda FR1 is our flagship model, with adjustable travel, a 1×10 drivetrain and a full set of aftermarket NS Bikes components.

note on sizing: for jump-focused riders we recommend the M size for riders up to 180cm, and the L size for riders up to 190cm.
