Overview
About this bike
NS Bikes' 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 to;corporateto; bikes. The Metropolis 1 features loads of great parts mounted on a multi-butted NS chromoly frame. They spec'd their own Lick handlebar, Quantum stem, with fast-rolling Kenda Small Block 8 tires, sealed bearing Octane One hubs, a microdrive 25:10 drive-train, and SRAM hydraulic rear brake.
