NS Metropolis 1 26" 2012
Availability: Out of stock
Quick Overview
Dirt/Park/Slopestyle
The Metropolis is a dedicated dirt jumping bike. You can take the Metro 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 which includes the light Quark stem, a Mint handlebar and the all new Sam Pilgrim grips. We spec'd the Marzocchi Dirt Jumper fork and gave the bike 100mm of travel for more confidence on the big stuff. Two other cool features are that the bike runs on our own custom NS rims and has a compact drivetrain. All these changes have resulted in improved performance and reduced weight.
The 2012 Metropolis 2 is available also in 24” size - perfect size for beginners, smaller riders or those who just like 24” wheels.

The Metropolis 1 features loads of great parts mounted on a multi-butted NS cromoly frame. Marzocchi supplied their all-new, top-of-the-line DJ1 fork with an alloy steer tube and custom decals. We picked a special combo of lightweight tires from Kenda - in fact it's the same setup that our pro riders use. We also use a set of sealed bearing hubs by Octane One, a microdrive 25:11 drive-train, light integrated seatpost-combo and many more cool features.
