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 3 is a rock-solid dirt jumper. The NS frame has a chromoly front triangle and is fitted with high-end NS aftermarket parts you'd normally see on more expensive bikes. The SALT crankset spins up Kenda Small Block 8 tires, while a Tektro mechanical disc brake brings you to a stop every time. Keep a solid handle on things with NS Lick handlebars and Quantum stem, and Odyssey Twisted pedals keep your feet planted when you hit the gas. This all adds up to a bike with 100% of high-end bike functionality that is accessible to everyone. There are no to;do-not-jumpto; warning stickers on this bike!
