SNABB The brand new Snabb platform was designed with the aim to optimise function, weight and reliability. Impressing the public with gimmicks, “patents” and “systems” was not on our list. So here it is - beautiful, light, strong and fast. We took into account that NS Bikes customers are usually tough, aggressive riders and expect our products to hold up to seasons of abuse. But at the same time we made sure that everyone, including our team riders will be happy with the performance on race day.
Suspension and kinematics: the frames have a good amount of anti-squat into the horst-link design, perfect for 1X drivetrains which tend to produce more squatting than traditional 2X setups. After many prototypes we achieved our desired suspension curves which make for a fantastic ride that gives a feeling of support but at the same time allows full range of travel to be used. The 4-bar Horst link suspension has a significant amount of rearward axle movement which helps to absorb square faced bumps. The system, unlike most other designs on the market (including virtual pivot designs) it is immune to brake jack (i.e. the torque generated by the brakes will not cause the suspension to stiffen).
The Snabb comes in two versions, specifically designed for Enduro or Trail use. The Snabb E has 163mm of travel and is low, long and slack. It utilises a heavy duty tubeset that will hold up to the most aggressive DH runs. The Snabb T is best described as an aggressive trail bike with a slightly steeper The frames are equipped with the latest Rock Shox Monarch RT3 Debonair shocks with a linear spring curve and amazing small bump sensitivity. head angle, 143mm of travel, modern geometry and tough but lightweight construction. Both bikes will rip up and down mountains, and the choice between the models is up to you to decide which character suits your style best. Geometry: Both frames have very long front ends, but the compact chainstays keep the wheelbase at bay. The Snabb E comes with a slack 66 degree head angle and slightly longer chainstays to help keep the bike stable and higher descending speeds. It’s designed to be used with a 160-170mm fork. The Snabb T will work best with a 140 to 150mm fork which give a respective 67.5 - 67.0 degree head angle.

CLIMBING ON STANDARD 2X DRIVETRAIN USING 0.78 GEAR RATIO (22:28) CHAIN IS QUITE LOW ALLOWING THE SUSENSION TO DEVELOP NECESARY ANTI-SQUAT TO ELIMINATE PEDAL BOB.
CLIMBING ON 1X DRIVETRAIN USING SIMILAR RATIO (32:42=0.76) CHAIN IS MUCH HIGHER NOW. THIS POSITION OF THE CHAIN WIL REDUCE THE ANTI-SQUAT SIGNIFICANTLY AND IS SOME SUSPENSION DESIGNS, WILL CAUSE PEDAL BOB.

FUZZ 650B The Fuzz is a true DH machine built to compete with the best in the pits, yet it is a modern do-it-all rig for any gravity assisted riding. The bike has been thrashed by Sam Pilgrim at events like Rampage and proved itself in the real racing environment too, taking podiums at major UCI events, piloted by the Polish DH star Slawek Lukasik. The frame has truly modern DH geometry - it’s low, slack, and has a very short rear end with a roomy front triangle. The 4-bar Horst link suspension has a significant amount of rearward axle movement which helps to absorb square faced bumps. Unlike most other designs on the market (including virtual pivot designs) it is immune to brake jack. There is also a fair amount of anti-squat built into the design to counter pedal-induced bob. The shock, which is the most heavy part of the frame is tucked away near the BB to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. For the coming season, the Fuzz frame has been re-designed to run on 650B wheels. We also increased the reach on this already long frame. Geometry: The frame has truly modern DH geometry - it’s low, slack, and has a very short rear end with a roomy front triangle. Thanks to the adjustable dropouts you can set up the bike with a super tight rear end or you can fit the wheel in a more standard position to suit the characteristics for any track and riding style. The short position results in one of the tightest rear ends on the market. Thanks to this we could really open up the front end and benefit from massive stability and confidence improvements, yet still keep the wheelbase (hence manoeuvrability) under control.
NEW COLOUR
Suspension & kinematics: the Fuzz has a clearly progressive leverage ratio curve. The first stage of the travel is very supple and absorbs small and medium impacts. Towards the end of the travel, the frame becomes stiffer, and gives the rider a feeling of support, which results in predictable launches off jump lips and other obstacles that require getting air to clear. It’s important to note that the characteristics are different on the short and long setting with a noticeably softer and less progressive feel in the long setting. The 4-bar Horst link suspension has a significant amount of rearward axle movement which helps to absorb square faced bumps. The system, unlike most other designs on the market (including virtual pivot designs) it is immune to brake jack (i.e. the torque generated by the brakes will not cause the suspension to stiffen). There is also a fair amount of anti-squat built into the design to counter pedal induced bob.

ECCENTRIC CROMO A beautiful yet tough hardtail frame for all mountain and trail riding. We built this frame using Tange Eccentric cromoly tubes that have been developed over the years for our dirt-jump bikes. The result is an incredibly strong yet light hardtail for aggressive trail riding. The Eccentric is designed primarily for 650B wheels but will work with 26” too. Rides best with a 140-150mm fork. The weight of the frame is approximately 2.4kg which is light by any standards, but thanks to our in depth knowledge of steel frame constructions we know that it will also be strong enough to hold up to a lot of abuse. All the know-how that NS has managed to acquire over the years in building steel hardtails has been funnelled into the frame of this bike and it really is the very best money can buy. For 2015 the geometry has been tweaked and the frames are now slightly longer. We also added a hole for stealth cable routing. Specs: material: custom butted 4130 cromoly, Tange Eccentric tubes frame available in 3 frame sizes (16”, 17.5” & 19.5”) recommended fork travel: 130-150mm head tube: semi integrated Zero Stack (ID 44mm) headtube length: S size: 105mm, M size: 115mm, L: 125mm fits forks with standard 1-1/8” or tapered 1.5 - 1-1/8” steerer tubes fits all forks with standard 1-1/8” steerer tubes (forks with taper 1.5 – 1-1/8” steerer tubes can fit ZS44/44 headtube using special headsets with external lower cup (FSA Orbit ITA-A, ITA-B, Cane Creek XX44) BB: threaded 73mm with ISCG-05 mounts biggest chainring: up to ~38t front derailleurs: high clamp only, top pull, dia. 33mm / shim to fit 34.9 included. seatpost: 30.9 / seatclamp: 34.9 stealth cable route in seat tube for dropper post designed to fit 27.5”/650B but works also with 26” wheels. maximum tire size recommended: 2.35” IS-2000 disc brake mount, max rotor size: up to 185mm hub spacing 142x12mm, NS axle included or 135x10 bolt-on only (adaptors included) weight: ~2.49kg (M size)

ECCENTRIC ALU If cromoly is not on your list of priorities, this frame offers the same concept as the Eccentric at a much lower price. The alloy frame is strong and overbuilt, but at the same time light and responsive. It will be a perfect platform for building an aggressive 650B trailbike. material: AL6061-T6, custom formed and butted tubes frame available in 3 frame sizes (16”, 17.5” & 19.5”) recommended fork travel: 130-150mm head tube: semi integrated Zero Stack (ID 44mm) headtube length: S size: 105mm, M size: 115mm, L: 125mm fits forks with standard 1-1/8” or tapered 1.5 - 1-1/8” steerer tubes fits all forks with standard 1-1/8” steerer tubes (forks with taper 1.5 – 1-1/8” steerer tubes can fit ZS44/44 headtube using special headsets with external lower cup (FSA Orbit ITA-A, ITA-B, Cane Creek XX44) BB: threaded 73mm with ISCG-05 mounts biggest chainring: up to ~38t front derailleurs: high clamp only, top pull, dia. 33mm / shim to fit 34.9 included. seatpost: 30.9 / seatclamp: 34.9 stealth cable route in seat tube for dropper post designed to fit 27.5”/650b but works also with 26” wheels. maximum tire size recommended: 2.35” IS-2000 disc brake mount, max rotor size: up to 185mm hub spacing 142x12mm, NS axle included or 135x10 bolt-on only (adaptors included) weight: ~2.1kg (M size)

CLASH Following the success of our Clash complete bikes we decided to offer it as a frame only option that will be the perfect base for building up a custom all-round fun bike that will feel great to ride hard on any kind of challenging terrain. The frame is designed to tackle the urban jungle, rip at the pumptrack and let you ride comfortably back home as well. material: AL6061-T6, custom formed and butted tubes frame available in 2 frame sizes (16”, 17.5”) recommended fork travel: 120-150mm head tube: semi integrated Zero Stack (ID 44mm), headtube length: 115mm fits forks with standard 1-1/8” or tapered 1.5 - 1-1/8” steerer tubes fits all forks with standard 1-1/8” steerer tubes (forks with taper 1.5 – 1-1/8” steerer tubes can fit ZS44/44 headtube using special headsets with external lower cup (FSA Orbit ITA-A, ITA-B, Cane Creek XX44) BB: threaded 73mm with ISCG-05 mounts biggest chainring: up to ~38t front derailleurs: top pull, dia.34.9 seatpost: 30.9 / seatclamp: 34.9 maximum tire size recommended: 26x 2.35” IS-2000 disc brake mount, max rotor size: up to 185mm hub spacing: 135x10 weight: ~2.2kg (M size)

NEW FOR 2014
SODA After several years of serving as our basic workhorse, the popular Soda frameset has undergone a major revamp. Now it’s compatible with 650B wheels, has a longer front end and slacker head angle for more stability. The main pivot has been raised for better pedalling and square bump absorption and the frame now has more travel (adjustable from 160 or 180mm). The frame has now evolved into a pure freeride / bike park bike which still keeps the traits that everyone loved in the older Soda’s. That means it’s still super tough, manoeuvrable, adjustable, and loves to fly. The frame comes with adjustable chain stay length and adjustable travel to allow riders to change of the bike’s character significantly. This bike is exceptionally nimble and manoeuvrable in short travel and short chain stay mode (note: chain stays are VERY short in this position, much shorter than most bikes on the market), and still stable at high speeds in long travel with long chain stays. The frame is also very torsionally stiff - not only can it handle all rotational tricks but it also feels great in fast corners where you can often feel other frames flexing. In the rear end you will find a 4-bar linkage that gives several advantages: - lateral stiffness of the rear end of the bike - minimised side loads on the shock, eliminating excessive shock wear and friction - an optimised shock rate curve. Specification: 160-180mm (6.3”-7”) adjustable rear wheel travel AL6061+AL6066 T6 custom formed and butted tubes smooth ‘double pass’ welding in all critical areas rear shock: 216x63mm (8.5x2.5”), mounting hardware: front 22.2 x 8 mm, rear 32 x 8mm internal or external cable guide option head tube: tapered 1.5 ZS (44mm ID/56mm ID), headtube length: 115mm fits forks with standard 1-1/8” or tapered 1.5 - 1-1/8” steerer tubes, headset to fit both include with the frame rear hub: 135x10mm bolt type or 135x12mm with thru axle (NS custom 12MM thru axle included) IS-2000 disc brake mount, max rotor size: up to 200mm BB: threaded 73mm with ISCG-05 mounts biggest chainring: up to ~38t rear derailleur: removable hanger included front derailleur: not compatible seat post/clamp: 30.9mm / 34.9mm max tire: 650B x 2.6” weight (w/o shock): ~3.35kg / 7.4lbs note on sizing: for jump-focused riders we recommend the M size for riders up to 180cm, and the L size for riders up to 190cm. However if you wish to adjust the the seat height for optimum pedalling, we recommended the M size for riders up to 177cm and the L size for riders up to 185cm. * the adjusted seat tube angle is around 2.5° slacker than the actual angle due to specific seat tube shape and it’s offset position; the adjusted seat tube angle show the equivalent for a traditional frame Available with shocks: Marzocchi Rocco TST Rock Shox Monarch Plus R

SODA SLOPE The Soda Slope is a radical bike for big moves that takes over where dirt jumping hardtails are not enough. It’s most important feature is that it enables true single speed setups with no chain tensioners or standard derailleur / single front ring setups. The Slope is exceptionally nimble and manoeuvrable with one of the shortest chain stays we have ever seen on production full suspension bikes. It was designed to feel just like a Majesty dirt-jump frame but with a safety valve in the rear end for big hits and high speed runs. We also tested the Slope in a more traditional DH environment, and found that with a longer fork (around 160mm) it can actually ride downhill surprisingly well. Even though the travel is short, the quality of the ride is great. The frame is really very stiff torsionally - we have been throwing 180’s and 360’s for days on end and experienced absolutely no problems. The suspension won’t hamper you- we bet you can pull off just about every street trick that you can do on your hardtail. In the rear end you will find a 4-bar linkage that gives several advantages: - lateral stiffness of the rear end of the bike - minimised side loads on the shock, eliminating excessive shock wear and friction - an optimised shock rate curve. For 2015 the Soda Slope is fitted with a Rock Shox Monarch RL shock with custom tune. The lockout option is a really nice feature, making this frame feel like a hardtail when jumping but will open up and save your butt on the biggest hits. It also means that you don’t have to put crazy high pressure in the shock to get this characteristic, and can open the lockout if you want to ride some rough off-road sections. Designed to run with air shocks and very little or even no sag for street / dirt, or with standard sag settings (around 25-30%) for a more conventional feel. Specification: 107mm (4.2”) rear wheel travel pivot around BB allowing true single speed setups AL6061+AL6066 T6 custom formed and butted tubes smooth ‘double pass’ welding in critical areas weight (w/o shock): ~3.05kg rear shock: 190x50mm (7.5 x 2.0”): mounting hardware: front & rear 22.2 x 8 mm head tube: tapered 1.5 ZS (44mm ID/56mm ID), headtube length 115mm fits forks with standard 1-1/8” or tapered 1.5 - 1-1/8” steerer tubes, headset to fit both included with the frame rear hub: 135x10mm, suggested bolt-on hubs IS-2000 disc brake mount, max rotor size: up to 185mm BB: threaded 73mm with ISCG-05 mounts biggest chainring: up to ~34t rear derailleur: optional hanger included front derailleur: not compatible seat post/clamp: 30.9mm / 34.9mm max tire: 26 x 2.4”

DECADE The Decade is our high-end alloy hardtail. It’s proved itself in various applications - the frame was not only used by dirt jumpers who prefer the feel of alloy frames but also by 4X racers and pump track riders. The frame shares many of the tubes and the same style as the NS Soda full suspension frames. It features a removable ISCG mount (included), removable derailleur hanger (included), headtube to fit semi-integrated headset, and is designed to work with forks from 100-140mm of travel. The frame is incredibly strong yet still very light at just over 2.1kg. The Decade’s geometry is based on the Majesty Dirt and just like our flagship steel hardtail, the Decade also features sweet arched seat stay bridges that give lot’s of tire clearance.

MAJESTY The Majesty has been on the podium at world class dirt and slopestyle events more often than any other frame in the world. It’s Sam Pilgrim’s main weapon and has been ridden on huge courses where almost all competitors were on full suspension bikes. Easy to recognise at the track by it’s classic simple look and awesome graphics. We used a totally high-end tube-set with offset multi butting and a rarely seen, full heat treatment process that takes place after the welding is finished. This technology allowed us to make one of the lightest and strongest dirt jumping frames on the market. What’s more, every Majesty is covered inside and outside with a thin, weightless electroplated layer that protects it from corrosion. This is really the ultimate cromoly dirt jumping frame- not only super light, but also incredibly strong. The Majesty frames are available in two versions: Dirt and Park. The Dirt version is a more stable frame with a lower bottom bracket, ideal for high speed trails and big slopestyle courses. It also works better with higher forks (up to 140mm travel). The Park version of Majesty has a steeper head angle and slightly higher BB. This makes the bike really quick. The integrated headset standard is strong and looks clean. For 2015 both versions of the Majesty come with an integrated headset standard (clean looks and strong) and a Spanish BB so you can easily fit your favourite BMX cranks. Both sizes are designed to use standard 135x10mm mountain bike hubs and come with IS (International Standard) disc brake mounts, and fit rotors up to 185mm. We use fully removable cable guides flush with the tubes giving this frame unique, ultra clean look. Majesty features fancy arched lost wax seat stays bridges with a 3D logo - that looks sweet & give lot’s of tire clearance. Specs: material: heat-treated, custom butted 4130 Tange Eccentric cromoly steel recommended fork travel: Dirt: 80-140mm, Park: 60-120mm headset: integrated headset, Campy spec (45x45°, OD41.8mm) headtube length: 115mm / 4.5” BB: Spanish BB 68mm biggest chainring: up to ~32t rear hub: 135x10mm, suggested bolt-on hubs IS-2000 disc brake mount, max rotor size: up to 185mm max tyre size: 26”x2.3” 27.2mm seat post / integrated seat clamp weight: Dirt: ~2.19 kg.

CAPITAL The Capital is a dedicated street frame. It’s available in two sizes, for 26” and for 24” wheels, both with radical geometry and ultra short chain stays. For 2015 we removed the build-in pivotal mount making it easy to adjust the seat height and added double gussets up front to beef things up. The Capital uses multi butted tubes that are super strong in critical stress areas but also not too thin in overall - therefore more resistant to dents resulting from crashing and throwing the bike - something that is inevitable in street riding. Don’t worry too much about the weight …you will see abused bikes built on Capital frames hitting the 9 - 10kg weight mark. We made the frame strong enough even for the most hardcore riders. This radical frame is the brainchild of “RNS” our test rider and product manager. The Capital comes with a narrow seat stays and U-brakes which are the better solution for street, giving great power, modulation and a clean looks with nothing to catch on your trousers. We still feature 100% removable brake hardware so it will look pure for those who prefer to go brakeless. The Capital is not a big street bmx cruiser. The geometry is radical but you can still use short travel suspension. But the parts that you should spec come straight from 20” world - a bmx hub (110x14), Spanish BB, integrated headset, integrated pivotal post, removable U-brakes bosses in the case you need them… simply a pure street frame. Specs: material: custom butted 4130 cromoly recommended fork travel: 60-100mm or rigid forks 420-440mm headset: integrated headset, Campy spec (45x45°, OD41.8mm) head tube stack: 115mm / 4.5” BB: spanish BB, 68mm biggest chainring: up to ~28-30t depending on cranks, axle length, BB spacers, hub used / chain line sprockets with guards e.g. Odyssey MDS will fit only without internal guard bmx hub spacing 110x14, accepts both right & left side drive hubs Capital is a only NS frame that accept use of pegs removable U-brakes hardware (cable guide, cable stopper and brake pivots) seat post/: 25.4 / clamp included. max tyre size: 26”: 26”x2.2”, 24”: 24”x2.2” weight: 26”: ~2.45 kg, 24”: ~2.4 kg + 0.03kg U-brakes hardware

SURGE EVO The Surge is a great all round frame for anyone who likes to go hard in all kinds of conditions. It’s a pure freeride hardtail with a slack head angle and lower bottom bracket. Perfect for new school freeride, yet at the same time comfortable on longer rides and great for dirt jumping.

RNS The RNS fork is a product build with one purpose in mind: street. A perfect fit for the Capital frame. There are few changes for 2015: weight reduction, redesigned fork shape resulting in reduced space between the 26” tyre and the fork for foot jam tricks, bigger 6mm thick peg-specific dropouts, slightly shorter steer tube. The fork is designed around 430 mm axle-to-crown height, which gives the perfect balance between aggressive geometry and not too low front end. Short, responsible, but still stable 28mm dropout offset which makes front end tricks such as nose manuals so much easier. Fork comes with integrated crown race, compatible only with integrated headsets, a 170mm steerer tube and cool looking and functional compression device. This 7075 alloy top cup looks really clean and features 8mm & 6mm Allen hex sockets. The tapered blades are made from custom triple butted tubing, with angled bottom giving better grinding clearance. The 1-pcs steerer tube is CNC’ed to the max to save additional weight After being welded the fork is fully heat treated & prior to painting covered inside and outside with a thin, weightless layer that protects it from corrosion. Note that this fork is often used also by fixed gear riders looking for a minimalistic fork with bmx background!

MAGNETO The Magneto features an astonishing minimalistic design that looks unlike anything else on the market. Everything in this stem is out of the ordinary: an integrated top cap, a wedge steerer tube clamping system and a two piece sandwich design. At the same time we made sure that user friendliness has not been sacrificed (including knee friendliness thanks to the smooth and round steerer tube clamping area). Cold forged from quality AL 6061 T6 in our own moulds before going into the extensive CNC. Perfect for freeride/enduro use, strong enough to take a hard beating and light enough for racing. It features a high surface wedge design that locks the stem on the steerer tube securely and has a build in wedge release screw. The cutting of the steerer tube procedure to fit the stem is a piece-of-cake (most other stems with this system have an complicated installation procedures that requires blind cutting of the steerer tube).

MONOGRAM Our aim was to make one of the strongest carbon bars on the market. We teamed up with one of the best carbon fibre specialists in our industry, benchmarked our bars against the best available products, thrashed, tested and dissected our prototypes. The brand new Monogram bars use the same overall shape & geometry of the Evidence Plus, adjusted and optimised for carbon fibre material, including even smoother bending and big long tapers, making the bar strong and lightweight and offering the perfect balance between rigidity and desired flex. Unlike many brands, we created completely custom moulds and layering structures that make this bar unique. We use 100% Toray® Carbon and DuPont™ Kevlar® weaved together to get best high impact protection. Optimal wall thickness in critical areas, combined with rigidity of the carbon and anti-failure Kevlar ‘safety layers’ to make sure that even if you take things too far, the bar won’t fail catastrophically. The clamping area has a textured anti-slip sand surface outside and integrated reinforcing sleeve inside the bar that will work with even widest stem designs. Available in two versions. The 762mm ‘Lite’ Enduro/Trail/All-Mountain version weighs just over 200g, and the 800mm ‘Plus’ DH/FR version comes in at 250g.

PROOF Proof handlebars are a favourite among top FMB riders - among them off course is Sam Pilgrim. High, wide, and manufactured from a special 7050 alloy material for great strength and fatigue resistance. The bars come with 2.75 inches of rise (70mm) which makes the 3.3 inches (84mm) of extension at the bar ends and are over 29” inches (740mm) wide. With the new-school relaxed geometry, the Proof is really comfortable and looks rather special. Totally custom tubing and butting result in a strong & light bar with a special shape that is visible at the first glance. Perfect bars for dirt jumpers who use suspension forks and the choice of most of the NS team riders. The bars took Martin Soderstrom and Sam Pilgrim to the podium countless times during the last few seasons.

DISTRICT Time for some new wider 30 inch hi-rise cromoly handlebars - go get them! The District bars are high and wide, making them a perfect fit for street bikes that are usually built around low front ends. Even if the bar is really wide its completely comfortable with the big backweep. This bar really rules, especially for use with Capital frame and RNS forks. To make the Districts, we start by buying the very best Japanese cromoly that is available on the market. Next, the bars go through a complex process of multiple butting and shaping. We had to make special tools to manufacture this bar because everything is non-standard. We use our own specifically designed tools to get the unique shape and butting– note that all the bends have a large radius to minimise material deformation and get that special relaxed look. After that the bars go through a carefully controlled heat treating process, and the final finishing touch they are ready to go faster and higher. The District fits both BMX & MTB stems as they are 22.2 clamp size but shims to standard 25.4 size are included. Specs: material: heat-treated 4130 cromoly steel clamp 22.2 mm (incl. shims for 25.4 mm) width: 762mm / 29.1” rise: 87mm / 3.5” , extension c-c: 102mm / 4” backweep: 10° upsweep: 4° weight: ~550-560g

ROTARY FRONT HUBS ROTARY 10 This low flange front hub is based on the female axle system with hollow steel side bolts. They are stronger & harder to strip (longer threads) than the traditional systems that have long axles and nuts sticking out on the sides. The cone nuts are made of AL7075 - they are strong enough for the front hub & won’t strip at all. This is because there are no threads! Nothing to adjust or come loose. Plus they are light. Notice the special shape - this hub with small body and low flanges looks almost like a road hub but can be used for heavy duty street riding. Please note – this hub is designed for pegless riding. Specs: material: 6061 alloy body, 7075 alloy axle & cones, steel bolts O.L.D 100mm compatible with mtb & bmx rigid forks and mtb suspension forks with 9mm, 3/8” or 10mm dropouts female oversize axle system + side bolts - this solution rules as it’s light & strong! 2x decent sized #6902 sealed bearings bolts: hollow, 17mm hex head and 8mm Allen hex socket, 3/8”x24tpi thread slip-on cones, nothing to be adjusted no disc brake mount available in 32 & 36h versions weight: ~190g ROTARY 20 This 20mm front hub is designed for suspension fork users.

ROTARY CASSETTE HUBS ROTARY CASSETTE 135x10 The Rotary cassette is a high end mountain bike cassette hub with a female axle system that will keep the rear end of a frame much more stable, and can be used in horizontal dropouts without any axle positioning systems. It’s light enough for racing and strong enough to take big slopestyle jumps. This hub is fully sealed, runs on 4 bearings and features an oversized alloy 7075 axle. The hub is held securely by 3/8” steel bolts with rounded flat bolt heads that are almost flush with the dropouts so there is little chance to hurt your ankle. The advantage of oversized alloy axle and steel bolts is significant: there is no weight penalty and bolts have 6mm hex sockets so you can tighten your rear wheel with an Allen key. To make sure the hub will hold up any kind of abuse, we used the best 7075 alloy for our cones and removed the steel inserts that we used before. Specs: material: 6061 alloy body, 7075 axle & cassette, steel bolts O.L.D 135mm compatible with all mtb frames (O.L.D 135 x 10mm or 3/8”) female oversize axle system + side bolts - this solution rules as it’s light & strong! hollow alloy 7075 axle 4x #6902 sealed bearings (2x main hub bearings, 2x inside cassette) bolts: 6mm Allen hex sockets, 3/8”x24tpi thread light alloy 7075 cassette 3 pawls with 24 engagement points / each 15° disc brake mount IS (International Standard / 6-bolts) available in 32h version only weight: ~365g

ROTARY SINGLE SPEED HUBS ROTARY SINGLE The Rotary single features the unique bolts from the Rotary Pro hub with hex heads. We decided to employ a female system in this hub. The steel thru-axle with nuts was replaced with a lighter and stronger oversized alloy 7075 axle and steel bolts. In other words this hub uses the same system that proved itself in our Rotary Single Pro rear hub. The female axle system will immobilise the wheel in the dropouts no matter what, and there is much less chance to hurt your ankles on the bolts. Overall, we managed to produce an incredibly light and strong hub in an economical price range. Specs: material: 6061 T6 alloy body, 7075 alloy axle and cones, steel bolts O.L.D 135mm compatible with all mtb frames (O.L.D 135 x 10mm or 3/8”) female oversize axle system + side bolts - this solution rules as it’s light & strong! hollow alloy 7075 axle 4 x #6902 sealed bearings (2x main hub bearings, 2x inside driver) bolts: 17mm hex head and 8mm Allen hex sockets, 3/8”x24tpi thread 10T driver with two decent sized, strong sealed bearings 3 pawls with 24 engagement points / each 15° disc brake mount IS (International Standard / 6-bolts) available in 32h and 36h versions weight: ~420 grams ROTARY SINGLE PRO The Rotary is a real street/dirt mountain bike disc brake SS hub (135/10) using pure bmx technology. Say no to the heavy hubs taken straight from bmx catalogues with tiny & weak driver bearings & weak 3/8”-10mm axles. The Rotary hub is so light because we decided to shave any unnecessary weight to the limit without sacrificing the strength at all. Instead of a long and weak 3/8” axle we used a bigger diameter alloy 7075 axle & steel hardware on the drive side to make it almost indestructible. Alloy axle was slightly redesigned to make it stronger than before, allowing perfect hub rolling long-life, no slowing down even overtightened. No more adjusting, no more unscrewing or stripped cone nuts - they are slip-on. No external threads to damage. Hollow 3/8” bolts with 17mm hex heads & 8mm Allen hex sockets will fully immobilise your wheel in the dropouts. The driver runs on a bushing eliminating the need to use tiny and week bearings. It’s strong as hell and run smooth. Starting from 2013 Rotary Single Pro features an upgraded driver with separate springs for each pawl: 4 pawls, 4 springs. Engagement is really good – this hub won’t skip. Please also note that we added one special feature you were asking for - this hub is really loud!

The grips have a great feeling, have plenty of body but remain reasonably thin. The Legend gips feature new good looking push-in bar end with NS-Bikes logo. Simple, strong, twice as light as previous bolt-on one. It’s thicker than most stock solutions so it should last longer. The outside diameter is slightly smaller than our grips so it won’t feel uncomfortable in your palms. Oh yeah one more thing. We know that Sam has it all - lot’s of bikes, cash, chicks. But he lacks one thing. A front tooth! So we decided to help. These grips come with his missing tooth that can be cut off and used as a great keyring.
