METROPOLIS 2

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 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as our middle-of-the-range dirt bike, and for 2014 it has received a major upgrade - the mechanical rear brake has now been replaced by a hydraulic Avid DB1.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.
