The Metropolis is a dedicated dirt jumping bike. You can take it 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 1 features loads of great parts mounted on a multi-butted NS cromoly frame We spec'd our FMB tour winning Proof handlebars, fast rolling Kenda Small Block 8 tires, sealed bearing hubs front and rear, a microdrive 25:11 drive-train. The Metropolis 1 comes with the amazing Rock Shox Argyle fork.
The Metropolis 1 continues into 2014 as our flagship dirt bike. As all our complete bikes it will now be fitted with the new Quantum stem.
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, a Marzocchi DJ3 fork and our our own custom NS rims. The compact drivetrain includes an 11T sealed bearing driver hub from Octane One.
The Metropolis 2 continues into 2014 as our middle-of-the-range dirt bike, and for 2014 it has received a major upgrade - the mechanical rear brake has now been replaced by a hydraulic Avid DB1. As all our complete bikes it will now be fitted with the new Quantum stem.
The Metropolis 3 is built on a solid NS frame and fitted with high end NS aftermarket parts. Our aim was to make a bike accessible to everyone and offer 100% of the function that high end bikes have, with the only compromise being slightly higher weight. There are no “do-not-jump” warning stickers on this bike!
The Metropolis 3 continues into 2014 as our entry-level dirt bike. As all our complete bikes it will now be fitted with the new Quantum stem. The frame now has a real press fit BB shell (same as on our aftermarket frames) which is fully compatible with aftermarket components.
