NS Bikes launches Limited Edition line

May 5, 2015 at 4:18

by NS Bikes

Following the success of last year’s Majesty Limited Edition Gold bike we decided to go not one, but two steps further.

The Limited Edition fleet for this year includes 3 bikes in all: the Majesty dirt jump bike, Fuzz downhill bike and Snabb enduro bike. All three models have been spiced up with some of the best components money can buy and come in unique finishes.

NS Bikes Snabb Limited Edition - more info and specs at http nsbikes.com snabb ltd

NS Bikes Snabb Limited Edition - more info and specs at NSBikes.com/snabb_ltd

NS Bikes Fuzz Limited Edition - more info and specs at http nsbikes.com fuzz ltd

NS Bikes Fuzz Limited Edition - more info and specs at NSBikes.com/fuzz_ltd

NS Bikes Majesty Limited Edition - more info and specs at http nsbikes.com majesty ltd

NS Bikes Majesty Limited Edition - more info and specs at NSBikes.com/majesty_ltd

These bikes will be offered in very limited numbers - only 10 Fuzz, 15 Snabb and 15 Majesty bikes will be available at selected dealers worldwide and also through the NS online store at shop.nsikes.com

Sam Pilgrim’s signature Majesty comes in stealth black with gold electroplated logos.

The bike is a replica of the machine that Sam Pilgrim will be using this season.

The heart of the bike is the NS Majesty Park frame built with fully heat treated, Tange Eccentric tubing, making it one of the lightest (if not THE lightest) steel dirt jump frames on the market. But weight is not everything - the Majesty is also one of the strongest and most durable frames out there. Components include Marzocchi DJ1 forks, NS Proof bars, Octane One 2pcs Pro cranks, NS Rotary hubs and the Enigma rims dressed with Sam's favorite Continental Race King tires. And what's important - this bike worth over €2000 can be yours for €1599. But if your interested hurry - only 15 of these bikes will be available worldwide.

The Limited Edition Snabb comes in a special gunmetal finish that gives an unique industrial look. Burnishes and weld lines can be seen beneath the semi-transparent paint.

Snabb means "fast" in Swedish. And that’s what this bike does. It's one of the most aggressive Enduro bikes on the market and descends on par with full-on DH rigs. The heart of the Snabb is the modern frame that’s low, long and slack. 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.

Rock Shox suspension, with a 160mm Pike RCT 3 up front and a Monarch Plus Debonair shock, giving 163mm travel. The kinematics are designed for 1X drivetrains that require more built-in anti squat than traditional systems. The suspension remains lively throughout the travel means this bike want's to fly.

The unique Magneto stem has the serial number of the bike engraved by laser and holds the the new carbon fibre NS Monogram bars securely.

Some of the best components money can buy have been used to build this bike. The drivetrain incorporates a 1x11 system with SRAM X01 derailleur and X01 carbon cranks. The bike rolls on Crankbrothers Iodine 3 wheels (or optional NS Bikes Enigma wheels) and stopping power is provided by Shimano XTR brakes with cooling fins.

This bike worth over €6000 can be yours for just €4899. But remember - only 15 pieces will be available worldwide.

The Limited Edition Fuzz comes in a badass gunmetal finish spiced up with gold touches.

Hot SRAM drivetrain includes X01 carbon cranks, X01 derailleur and the miniblock 7-speed cassette.

Titanium and Carbon up front. The LTD Fuzz runs on the Marzocchi 380 C2R2 Ti that are controlled by the 800mm NS Monogram Plus carbon h-bars.

The heart of this bike is the tough 4-bar frame with a floating shock construction that has proven itself in the last two seasons at races worldwide. 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. And like every NS product, it’s not only designed to win races - it’s also tough enough for everyday use. This ultimate DH machine worth over €6000 can be yours for only €4999. But remember - only 10 Limited Edition Fuzz bikes will be manufactured and distributed to selected locations worldwide.

The best parts money can buy, with crank bros wheels???

equilibrium34 (May 5, 2015 at 7:34)

They look shiny, as for anything else, I cant really tell?

duckcrisps (May 5, 2015 at 7:39)

I think these low key photos look sick. But yea I do agree it's kinda difficult to see the bike.

littermac (May 5, 2015 at 8:01)

I have crank bros wheels on my nomad, ridden in whistler, finale legure, tucson, moab, sedona, peru and a bunch of other places and not one problem. A couple dents in the back, and some maintenance once a year on spoke tension. Anyone out there who actually has a set have problems, or is it just haters. I want to know because I am doing a new build and love the look of them.

christillott (May 5, 2015 at 8:07)

so would u recommend them? want something cool for my next build

littermac (May 5, 2015 at 8:37)

I am going to get another set unless I hear otherwise. One complaint i have is the spokes are not easy to find. I carry 4 in my pack when I travel, having said that I have never needed them.

projectnortheast (May 5, 2015 at 9:19)

I did one test ride on crank brothers wheels and broke a spoke and seeing as there are only 20 something of them the wheel was so out of whack it was unrideable... never gave them a second thought after that...

timbud (May 5, 2015 at 9:59)

@littermac - riding around the carpark doesn't count

hypermoto (May 5, 2015 at 10:47)

Have seen several sets fail under normal riding conditions. Buddy tacoed a rim just from cornering hard. Hub internals are pretty shoddy for the money. Non-standardized spokes are a pain in the ass if you're on the road. Not really light for what they are. I can't see any reason to buy them besides 'looks trick'.

What did you expect? It's bikeporn with porn-lighting.

saxman2324 (May 5, 2015 at 14:40)

I had a set of iodines on my trail bike and the freehub body broke about 7 times and the front wheel folded in a berm.

F*ck Crankbrothers wheels.

wolf-amongst-lambs (May 5, 2015 at 16:23)

ha ha . build a pair of King /deemax... you'll love yourself for it

christillott (May 6, 2015 at 1:58)

id love chris king hubs but my pockets are not that deep, could probably stretch to hope hubs

sewer-rat FL (May 6, 2015 at 2:08)

Hope hubs on flows, job done

christillott (May 6, 2015 at 2:11)

what rims are they? was contemplating mavic rims

sewer-rat FL (May 6, 2015 at 2:14)

Stans flows, good sturdy rim at a decent price

christillott (May 6, 2015 at 3:54)

ill check them out buddy

littermac (May 6, 2015 at 10:56)

I actually was thinking hope hubs on stans flows. from everything I have heard they are bomb proof.

christillott (May 8, 2015 at 3:31)

decided on ringle demon hubs on mtx 31 welded rims, crc can do them built up for less than £300, but will be on my next build

Crank brothers wheels... Now best of the best. You heard it here first folks.

bkm303 (May 5, 2015 at 7:02)

Was going to say the same thing... No thank you.

jumpman2334 (May 5, 2015 at 9:47)

you can get them without CB wheels (read the site). thank god, cause when i thin top of the line, i think CB wheels *rolls eyes*

Fix-the-Spade (May 5, 2015 at 10:26)

I like that the NS bikes wheels are an upgrade, give us more money or we'll put Crank Bros wheels on your bike!

zion-i (May 5, 2015 at 5:06)

Love the bikes.. they look sexy as F***
But, seriously can we get away from this flashy shit, and just get more affordable bikes?
Think if all the money ever spent on ANODIZING was used to refine manufacturing process, or anything else for that matter that will deliver a solid/reliable bike that really performs.. for under say...$2500

18 3

JimmyGrand (May 5, 2015 at 5:27)

Anodizing is kinda a bad example, as it has a HUGE influence on the reliability of a product, without it the aluminium would simply corrode and every surface would be full of scars´n scratches.

I get your point though, and one way to do it, would be to do colorless anodizing, og use them same color for ALL parts, as it is the different colors that keep pushing up the costs.
Going for forged components rather than CNC-machined, is also a way to keep cost down, but in the end, it all comes down to cost versus weight. The peformance of bad vs. good quality products is almost similar, so it all comes down to manufacturing time and thereby weight savings versus price.

atrokz (May 5, 2015 at 5:35)

Anodizing a frame is about $50 when you've got production runs (even less in large run instances). The color of a frame has a small impact on the overall cost of a frame, and NS will produce enough volume to offset any additional costs of doing a short run. To reduce costs, there are other places to look, but not the colorways.....

dsmand (May 5, 2015 at 5:59)

Aluminium doesn't need anodizing to prevent corrosion. The aluminum reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to create an aluminum-oxide coating that actually prevents corrosion. Anodizing is a process to get color to stick to aluminum.

12 2

fabdemaere (May 5, 2015 at 6:00)

You may want to google what anodizing is. Not just color

fabdemaere (May 5, 2015 at 6:02)

(I was talking to atrokz by the way)
Need to refresh before commenting smh

Narro2 (May 5, 2015 at 6:35)

forged over machined, thatas a good idea. But what woukd be a good component to forge other than the stem? The chainring?

zion-i (May 5, 2015 at 6:37)

OK, you guys are right ANO is a bad example... its the bling... flashy parts or WAY more machining on complex parts that don't need to be complicated. Its just become a selling point to catch people like mindless insects to a bright light.... just sayin I can live without all the bling, if my bike performs!

atrokz (May 5, 2015 at 6:52)

Are you for real @fabdemaere ? Yes, I know what, literally, every single type of anodizing is and it's applications/technical data. I use it often for my stuff and have actually written technical articles on it for milspec applications....... Your comment has zero bearing on what my statement was: That anodizing a frame to a specific color doesn't cost much and isn't a place to save money. What exactly is your point other than telling an expert to go read up on something he's actually an expert in, while not understanding the point in the first place. correct ?

@drdmoney Actually, aluminum will oxidize below that layer and, depending on environment, start pitting. A normal life would be fine, but if you're by a coast or riding in constantly damp weather, the mating areas between two surfaces would create galvanic corrosion and eat way past that 'oxide' layer. Seen the affect first hand more than once (even with paint, in a marine environment).That's why not one single manufacturer of aluminum components leaves the surface untreated. Anodizing is NOT just for color, and if that were the case there wouldn't be 3 types, several classes, and mil standards for clear anodizing...... (I work in defense mfg btw, we see a lot of aluminum). You can alodine, anodize, paint or coat the surface to help protect it.

prestonDH (May 5, 2015 at 7:20)

@zion-i its a LIMITED EDITION bike, their target audience obviously cares about the one-off factor, and flashiness of the bike...

I think all the bikes are super sick, love the color schemes

zion-i (May 5, 2015 at 7:31)

@prestonDH it was a generic comment, seemed like an ideal place to drop it. Not targeted at NS bikes, or any manufacturer at all, but the industry... and the trends they push.

mnorris122 (May 5, 2015 at 7:33)

NS's completes are actually very cheap, and honestly don't have great components. I find it interesting that NS is only making a few completes with decent builds

prestonDH (May 7, 2015 at 10:56)

@zion-i I get your, and everybody elses, point and that theyre frustrated with pricing and marketing strategies, but to be honest, most people seem to forget one thing, 99% of bike companies are NOT in the business to make people happy (no matter how much they try and portray that they are) these bike companies are FOR-PROFIT businesses and the #1 goal above all else is to increase sales, grow margins and make $$$. Thems the breaks

More Marzocchi please! Glad to see them on any bike.

tonyfromnapa (May 5, 2015 at 10:00)

most of you guys must be blind or need to turn up the screen contrast. I can see the bikes fine with a dark background. And they all look good.

Martinez242 (May 5, 2015 at 5:27)

finally! That finish is awesome! Too bad the pricetag is in the same field where numerous high end Bikes are. In my opinion ns main target group is younger riders. Most youngsters Dont have 5k to spend I guess. Would seriously consiser this bike with lesser spec and a pricetag around 2K. Bit again, great job on the Looks!

j-t-g FL (May 6, 2015 at 7:50)

Good thing they have the non special editions...

Martinez242 (May 9, 2015 at 10:07)

I mean with this frame finish.

j-t-g FL (May 9, 2015 at 10:33)

Good thing they're only trying to sell 15 bikes worldwide.

bellamyk (May 5, 2015 at 7:50)

Only 10 Limited Edition Fuzz bikes will be manufactured and distributed to selected locations worldwide. Damn I better hurry up (*Checks pockets still no $6k), oh well will stick with my old bike.

alexsin (May 5, 2015 at 8:07)

If your show bike (the Snabb) requires a massive top cap to get the bars in the right spot, and you don't even make XL bikes maybe you should consider making the head tube a little longer? Or is the many-spacer look something we're going for now?

Weezy78 (May 5, 2015 at 8:45)

Bike Porn ! That Dirtbike is insane. Cant wait to get a Snabb T1 Frame in a few Month. NS is killin it again

Pedalen (May 5, 2015 at 8:51)

SNABBAST (the fastest instead of fast in Swedish) would been a better name, that thing looks and probably goes like hell on wheels.

But then again, i Dont work @ NS, Sadly

AMGoran (May 5, 2015 at 9:29)

I wonder who came up with the idea to name it snabb

MendelMu (May 5, 2015 at 10:43)

It was a name competition.

Pedalen (May 5, 2015 at 10:44)

Loki. I would name it Loki.

Pedalen (May 5, 2015 at 11:35)

No way? Really?

mddigger (May 5, 2015 at 5:23)

I want all of them.

BaeckerX1 (May 5, 2015 at 7:48)

What are the chances of them selling that gunmetal and black stem as a standalone? Loving the look of that stem.

benwearsahat (May 8, 2015 at 14:56)

buy the bike, replace the stem, sell the bike. actually just buy the bike. problem solved.

benwearsahat (May 8, 2015 at 14:54)

Okay lets just quickly point out that the NS Fuzz is literally a Commencal Supreme V3 frame. Linkage is near enough f*cking identical, all the tubes are in exactly the same place. They even have a similar mudguard system for the shock?! The biggest difference is that the tubes on this bike are more rounded. Are Commencal and NS Bikes the same company now or are NS just ripping off Commencal big time???

smoranc (May 5, 2015 at 10:14)

If I could just convince @ns-bikes to take mi Nikon D4 in exchange for a Fuzz I would definitely order one. Otherwise I have to wait!!! hahaha

Don't hate the photographs... really good job I think. And for the guy who said that there is no reason to put a black back with black subjects... You're wrong dude. This photos actually look cool and give this feeling that something special is happening with this bikes. either is this or I'm so in love with NS Bikes.

CB wheels... All I have to say is that I hope the bad comments about them are those which are wrong!!! hahaha. 'Cause I just spent a little fortune on them.

Cheers everybody.

jrocksdh (May 5, 2015 at 10:28)

Been running cbros on my norco range for @6months. No issues, stayed true. They aren't the widest tho so I do feel the tire wiggle a bit but I've nvr had huge burp (dhf/bontgr4).
And the guys are all really nice, ride daily, and drink beer!

panaphonic (May 5, 2015 at 11:35)

I like the bit where they say the Enduro bike descends on par with a full dh bike. Wow that's impressive. But then why would you still make a DH bike?

Matt76 (May 5, 2015 at 14:35)

So nice to see mountain bikes now been made out of this all new material called "metal"!! Well done NS bikes or could be the future of modern mountain biking.

BrightBulbPhoto (May 5, 2015 at 8:21)

Available World Wide....Eh...Hummmm Guess N America is not part of the world...Every distributor, that these bike can be had at. Are all in Asia & EU..
NS LIMITED EDITION FAIL!

smoranc (May 5, 2015 at 10:19)

No way... I wrote them about this matter and they told they CAN send it to Mexico. I'm thinking USA and Canada won't represent a problem.

poah (May 5, 2015 at 9:35)

I'd buy all threee in a heart beat if I had the cash - love the photography as well

Oh snaps, what am I gonna do? considering i dont need one.....

would have rather seen a slope bike. but that's just me. pretty, but whos really gonna pay that and ride it

carfreak2000 (May 5, 2015 at 8:30)

People who prefer light chromoly hardtails that you can use on the street as opposed to a full suspension slope bike that is a bit overkill to use on the street. The are riders in the world other than you

theseanp (May 6, 2015 at 6:51)

wow man! piss in your cherrio's? never said you cant go buy a limited edition hardtail for 1600. more power to you. they just make sweet ass slope bike. would have liked to see one.

That Fuzz looks amazing.

"Using the best components money can buy" - then queue the crank brothers wheels - marketing fail.
