by NS Bikes

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 so if you still have not checked the specs and details of their 2011 line now it is the best time to do it.

Check out full specs and loads of photos inside!NS Bikes is well known for building great frames and components but since the introduction of complete bikes a couple of years ago they have become one of the key products in their offer. Same as the rest of their components the bikes are designed in cooperation with worlds top riders like Martin Söderström to be perfect in every detail. Complete bikes are a good alternative for those who do not want to build up the bikes from scratch and are looking for a complete package designed especially for them by a company which specializes in this exact kind of bikes.

At first there are no visible changes but as always it is all about the details which make it so unique. Besides new colors and finishes there are some new features and changes that will make a lot of riders happy. Also from this year all bikes are manufactured in Europe and they are powder coated to be more scratch resistant.

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.

CORE
Freeride

The Core is a true freeride hardtail that will feel great to ride hard on any kind of challenging terrain - from big drops and jumps to long climbs and winding singletrack. Steel is the ideal material for this kind of bike - it's strong, not prone to catastrophic failure and does not transmit vibrations as harshly as the aluminium in frames that most manufacturers specify.

The geometry of the Core is identical to the Surge aftermarket frames. The bike will be stable at high speed and on big airs, but will also allow the rider to pedal back home quite comfortably. So if you want a do-it-all hardtail, you should be riding this bike.

ANALOG
Fixed Gear Freestyle

The Analog is a complete bike from NS, based on the Analog aftermarket frame and fork. Although at a first glance it seems like something completely different from other bikes in the product line, it is in fact a bike that has a lot in common with NS philosophy.

The Analog is pure fixed gear freestyle bike, it is not a traditional track bike! It's strong enough to trick, but still very light. It uses the same tubes as NS Bikes dirt jumping frames. It has the same attention to detail and the same focused design as all other NS products. It is in essence, a radical no-compromise trick-track bike that can also function as a great bike for high-speed everyday commuting.

NS products have been used by fix-trix bikers for several years, especially the forks, that were a very common site in fixie bikes around the world. The guys from NS teamed up with a group of the most influential fixie riders and came up with designs and ideas that materialised in the form of a fixed gear specific frame, fork and a complete bike.

There are now lots of new-school riders doing hardcore moves on their fixies, but not too many bikes, frames or forks that are strong enough to handle this kind of abuse. Analog product line should fill in this gap perfectly.

The Analog frames will fit tires up to 700x38C and will be barspinable with this size. The geometry is different than that found in traditional track bikes - the length of the top tube will be longer in the corresponding size and the use of shorter stems (40-50mm) is strongly suggested to achieve the correct riding position.

evomtb (Dec 2, 2010 at 8:29)

yeah, it's either still a prototype and they're tweaking it still, or it's just gonna go into production as a frame

robbie-ohanlon (Dec 2, 2010 at 0:54)

to me not very exciting selection this year. dissapointing

NicholasCasswell (Dec 2, 2010 at 19:30)

ya, deffinitely dissapointing, the freeride bikes looked terrible and didnt really have that great of a spec list. the street and dj rigs look like nothing new..

kanioni (Dec 4, 2010 at 10:04)

A complete full sus bike would freshen up the selection quite a lot IMO

notthatfast (Dec 8, 2010 at 17:27)

i dunno, the core is looking better and better, the holy is definitely looking better this year, nice little starter bike... good stuff apart from the analog... trendwhore fixie faggot bike

NicholasCasswell (Dec 10, 2010 at 22:14)

true, a good starter bike, minus the rigid. i wouldnt sugest riding rigind unless your naturally super smooth. then fixi does look absolutely rediculous though. absolutely aweful.

kanioni (Dec 11, 2010 at 11:04)

Well, with the price of Holy a rigid fork is the only right option, especially since it is designed for street use mainly. However, if you want a suspension fork, then go for the Metropolis 3 which is more dj orientated. It just propably costs a little bit more

notthatfast (Dec 11, 2010 at 11:14)

i was running rigids on my street/park bike, they were fine

kanioni (Dec 11, 2010 at 12:10)

Yep, but many people don't like them.

voltagerider (Nov 24, 2010 at 13:37)

I'm diggin the metropolis 1...

20 5

DirtRebel (Nov 24, 2010 at 13:52)

who doesn't?

jackmtb (Dec 2, 2010 at 10:03) (Below Threshold)

they cost a bit much

15 2

OliScale (Dec 2, 2010 at 11:30)

they all look the SAME

olibawler (Dec 2, 2010 at 15:11)

yea

StefanGlander (Dec 2, 2010 at 19:42)

NS easily has the sickest dj bikes out there

jordxgreen (Dec 3, 2010 at 6:04)

I think Santa might be getting a few NS requests this year!

newbes (Dec 3, 2010 at 6:58)

yer i wat new captail farme pls santa lets have it

alan-richardson (Dec 3, 2010 at 18:04)

nice line up, apart from the "Core".
having a front mech on a freeride bike, why do bike companies do it????
it must be cheaper for a company to come up with a chain guide or tension system.

jordxgreen (Dec 4, 2010 at 4:57)

Agreed, all it does is bring up the weight, add cost and make the bike look bloody nasty. Bit of a no-brainer really.

notthatfast (Dec 8, 2010 at 17:26)

because it's supposed to be an all round bike, not a freeride specific bike

jordxgreen (Dec 9, 2010 at 7:53)

Yeah but even for all-round riding, you don't really NEED two chainrings up front, let's be honest

pachol (Dec 2, 2010 at 0:21)

What about NS slopestyle full suspension bike?

kanioni (Dec 2, 2010 at 1:12)

Not available as a comlete I guess

iamamodel (Dec 2, 2010 at 3:29)

Fixies have never floated my boat but an MTB fixie with flats?! That is a tempting commuter for sure. It'll pay itself off by saving my 3 x 10 drivetrain from overuse and road grime.

summit800 (Dec 2, 2010 at 9:52)

im usualy a big hatter of the mass productions stuff. but ive some of the ns stuff up close, and i must say i am very impressed, these are really nice bikes and i think its great to see a company that is really putting an effort into giving customers quality vs cost parts. they are in no way budget or anything, their all reasonably light and amazingly priced. awesome job NS

WAKIdesigns (Dec 2, 2010 at 9:45)

Pretty funny Fixie... I roll to work on something similar to this. I mean the frame, wheels and bars department - it's just I'm not a nonconformous metrosexual fashion-wannabe so I still have breaks and gears on it

LamaCycles (Dec 2, 2010 at 7:59)

NS Bikes is distributed in Canada by Lama Cycles. Please visit our website at Lamacycles.com All the CAD prices are there!

ChainSlayer98 (Dec 2, 2010 at 0:02)

NS Core looks sweet!

HENRIK73 (Dec 2, 2010 at 4:47)

NS BIKES COMPONENTS RULES

crunchss (Dec 2, 2010 at 11:47)

Can't help but think they look like last years DMR's, and why build a FGFS?!

DJ-Ler (Dec 2, 2010 at 20:09)

love NS, but to me if you get a NS its gotta be a frame buy only, by which i mean majesty,suburban,traffic,capital 2 ect..

HENRIK73 (Dec 2, 2010 at 2:02)

THE ANALOG IS SO KOOL

Belf (Dec 2, 2010 at 9:01)

> ANALOG
> Fixed Gear Freestyle
> Note: Bike comes complete with front and rear brakes
lolwut?

TOU93 (Dec 2, 2010 at 9:42)

In most countries(I definitely know Australia and Canada) it is illegal to sell a bike without brakes. So by law they are forced to sell it with them.

cyrix (Dec 2, 2010 at 11:32)

I know it's shocking to hear this, but a lot of people like to have brakes on their fixed gear bikes. I'm one of them.

phobospwns (Dec 2, 2010 at 14:16)

It's illegal to sell bicycles without a brake in the USA as well.

norcalassassin (Dec 2, 2010 at 16:29)

there is no brake tabs on the frame or fork?

pete-roles-a-revell (Dec 2, 2010 at 17:44)

there are brake mounts for road bike brakes

Sebas10 (Dec 2, 2010 at 9:33)

Freeride HT! Nice

missinglnk (Dec 2, 2010 at 15:42)

core 1 please. FGFS? meh.

rickyadams121 (Dec 3, 2010 at 14:33)

the metropolis 1 looks like the 2010 norco ryde...

edk818 (Dec 5, 2010 at 9:12)

This guy needs a Surge!!

racecarbrian (Dec 8, 2010 at 20:33)

Thats sick! Bikesports in Newmarket has those

miklavoie (Jun 26, 2014 at 16:49)

Can i put a mtb bottom bracket on ns holy 2011? (Hope MTB Stainless Steel)

ianjohnbressat (Dec 3, 2010 at 12:39)

Its all about the Capital.

santacruzrider13 (Dec 5, 2010 at 10:24)

the freeride bike looks so shitty

brucemacd (Dec 8, 2010 at 8:55)

Awsome bikes,really fresh clean lines and graphics.

love2freeride (Dec 2, 2010 at 11:34)

25:11 small ratio?

marco-djer (Dec 2, 2010 at 1:24)

Dissapointed. 2010 was awesome.

Maksimbike (Dec 2, 2010 at 11:25)

I agree, the colors this year arent great. The only one I like was the fixie..... Id just buy a frame and build it up.
