Pro Rider approved NS Bikes

NS Bikes joins our lineup of bikes you can trust from Northern Sports. NS is a company dedicated to making highly specialised products for a narrow group of customers.  They are a different, forward thinking company that creates designs that progress with their riders.

For example, the Holy line is the perfect complete package for hardcore street and park riding. Compact geometry and no unnecessary parts, a nice price and lots of space for upgrading and fine tuning. 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 from our friends at Wethepeople that are mounted on the 8 spline BB with big sealed bearings.

We’ll also carry the Metropolis line, 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.
