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 new Lick handlebars, Quantum stem, fast rolling Kenda Small Block 8 tires, sealed bearing hubs front and rear, a microdrive 25:11 drive-train, Sram hydraulic rear brake. The 2015 Metropolis 1 is fitted with a Marzocchi DJ 1 fork which replaces the RS Argyle.
The Metropolis 2 continues into 2015 as our middle-of-the-range dirt bike. Built around a full cromoly NS frame with press fit BB, fitted with NS aftermarket components, a compact drive train and hydraulic brake this classic remains hard to beat. This model is equipped with the new NS Lick handlebars which share the shape based on Proof and are 740mm wide.
The Metropolis 3 continues into 2015 as our entry-level dirt bike. It's built on a solid NS frame and fitted with high end NS aftermarket parts - rare in this price category. 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! Metropolis 3 comes equipped with NS Lick bars and Kenda Small Block 8 tires.
