As usual at this time of year NS Bikes is officially presenting their 2011 complete bikes offer. The bikes will be available worldwide in the beginning of December.
In 2011 Holy bikes will be offered also in 26" wheel versions and those of you looking for a smaller version of Metropolis will be glad to hear that Metropolis 2 will come with smaller 24" wheels too. Most bikes come with a revamped geometry and newest components from Octane One, Odyssey, Marzocchi, SRAM or SALT.
HOLY
Street / Park / Pumptrack
The Holy is the perfect complete package for hardcore street and park riding. Compact geometry, no unnecessary parts, a nice price and lots of space for upgrading and fine-tuning makes this an ideal option for riders of all levels.
The geometry is based on high-end aftermarket frames made by NS, so when you slap on a suspension fork of your choice, the bike will have the same feel as the bikes that their pro riders use. But even right out of the box these bikes rock.
Holy 1
The bike is packed with high end features such as the full cromoly frame with an integrated headset based on the Suburban, an NS cromoly fork and 3-pc tubular cromoly Salt cranks that are mounted on the 8 spline BB with big sealed bearings. For 2011 NS introduced a bunch of really significant upgrades and a fresh new look. The bike is now available also in 26" wheel size making it the perfect base for a 26" dirtjumping bike once you switch our rigid fork to a suspension fork of your choice!
