NS Bikes 2010

yeah the Soda looks sooo clean. the little understated logo works sooo well

the fixie looks mint

Soderstrom doesn't have to ride a 6 year old Cove Hooker for Slopestyle events any more!

drooool

wow ns has really stepped up lately! haha i love the color description for the capital. "gun metaly blue"

Ahaha. I couldn't think of what to say because clearly it wasn't blue, but I thought it sorta looked like a mix between blkmrkt's gun metal colour and a light blue so I just said that. lol

those rims look insanely sick

im a very big ns fan, had the 08,got the 09 with ns hubs, will be getting the 2010 sub, rims and grips but i just dont like the look of the soda, i would much rather the killswitch by black market much smaller and better looking all around. just my opinion... neg prop me as you wish

I'm all about NS and I even agree with that. It does look more sleek. But that's not to say the Soda looks really nice too. I'm just a little skeptical about the X-Fusion shock. Who knows what that's gonna ride like (not saying it's bad, just saying i'm not so sure about it).

I'm going to be looking out for the soda, looks like a beast.

damn those are some sick grips and wheels

and 4.6 lbs! That's lighter than my subrosa bmx frame

Yes, 3 colours available, lipstick red, black and white.

haha.
ns make great bikes, gotta love em.
I wouldn't mind having a metropolis, they look sick.

So? I cant see what your getting at? Theyre a business, a business needs to make money therefore introduces new products...
Why does everyone make such a big fuss about companies competing in a market?

Everybody is coming out with slopestyle bikes.

NS, Dobermann, Black Market, geeze.

no shit sherlock...when did you become a detective? :rolleyes:
My point above now also applies to your comment.

I was agreeing with you.
Every company comes out with new bikes to fit a growing niche in the market. such as slopestyle bikes and fixes. I just found it odd that everybody drools over the latest 5 inch travel slopestyle bike and then people turn around and make a big deal about how everybody and there brother is making a fixie.
Get what im saying? maybe I should of explained it better in my first comment

DMR Products don't touch NS.

i know i know but i ment that DMR used to be a dirt/street riding equipement pioneer in UK for a long long time and so as NS in Poland. Back in the day when everyone used to jump around on alloy frames from XC bikes if anyone had an NS frame was or very very good at riding or he had rich parents.

from these days NS evolved from garage welded frame makers to kick ass biking brand. I am really glad that actually happened

That sure is stupid. A Capital has a completely different feel than a bmx. How many BMX frames do you know that have 22.2" top tubes and 24" wheels? And I'm not talking about cruisers, because not only do cruisers have shorter top tubes, they have steeper head angles, much higher bars, different BB heights, 24" specific rigid forks with NO suspension correction. The Capital can be run with suspension. in fact it is designed to have either a 26" rigid fork or a suspension fork with 50-80mm of travel. How many bmx frames do you know that can run a suspension fork? Cruisers can't do that without raking the head angle and bringing the BB way too high, and the front end will be insanely high. A 24" rigid MTB has a completely different feel from a BMX. It's better for people that feel cramped on a 20" bike. Sure, maybe we could all spin better riding them little 20" wheels and what not, but for lots of people, comfort is more important than how fast you can spin around a 3. Understand friendo?

I kinda agree especially about people feeling cramped but this should only apply to very tall people. BMX have different TT length for a reason.

This frame is aimed at street and park riders, for that a BMX is simply the better tool. A 20" is stronger although I'm sure the NS is plenty strong enough. More importantly its easier to trick from a manual to whip all easier on a BMX. Also why you riding sus on a park bike, slopestyle yeah okay they go real big but I have never seen a MTB park rider go bigger than a 20" park rider.

Anyway if thats your bag thats cool as all bikes are fun and I wouldn't wanna put off people buying a bike, just my view. Besides downhills where its at.

No. You don't have to be tall to be more comfortable on a longer TT. Suspension is preferable to lots of people. it's just about preference. And some people prefer bigger wheels, slacker head angles, suspension, whatever it might be. It doesn't matter who goes bigger, that's not nearly what it's about. We just want to ride and I know that I have trouble with a bmx bike because it feels too cramped and too hard. Listen closely: a 24" Rigid or suspended MTB rides nothing at all like a BMX. People like me and many others PREFER the feel of the 24" or 26" MTB to a BMX - maybe because we're not obsessed with spinning faster, i don't know.

Go outside, find a 24" MTB, ride it around a skate park. Then ride your bmx around the skate park. Then, come back here and report, douchebag. until then, your opinion has no value.

I should have known better than to make a point on pink bike, from your first post I honestly thought you had a bit of a brain but your insults in your second post suggest otherwise.

You go watch a video of ruben alcantara or nigel sylvester vs video by soderstrom or someone (not saying soderstrom is a bad rider okay) and tell me who has better flow around a park thats right the bmx guys.

Tricks, flow whatever you want to question a BMX is the number 1 tool for street and park.

Here you go alcantara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28XTSRbFdPg from 3.50 onwards if your short of time

I'm of to bed as its 2am here, have fun riding your huckers bike down the skate bowl

all i saw there was some skateboarding and then i'd had enough.

oh, and when did i say that a 24" mtb is better for park and street? when did i say that pro mtb riders are better than pro bmx riders? i never said any of that. you keep telling me that bmx riders are smoother and that has nothing to do with what i'm saying. you say that if someone's gonna get a capital, they should get a bmx. i'm saying that's not true at all because if you prefer suspension, a slacker head angle, bigger wheels, or a longer TT then the capital or any other 24" mtb frame is good for you. you're going off topic saying that bmx riders are better at riding. generally yes they can spin easier and throw around the smaller bikes much easier but for some people that dont like the feel of a bmx, a 24" mtb even when set up with a rigid is completely different in the feel. geometry is completely different and it's just what some people prefer. so dont tell me to get a bmx when i prefer the feel of a mtb

This whole argument is basically saying you want a fast car like a Caterham but its uncomphy for must people so People go and buy a lotus elise that is just as fast but comfy as well the point is that saying caterhams are better because they can go quicker round a track ? Lotus can probebly go just as fast and just as well but you would be comfier so it would be more relaxing and easier to ride

No, no it doesn't. They are both sick but not Similar at all. The only similar looking parts to me are really the beginning of the downtube and the colour.

I have two BLK MRKT Mobs, one SS with 24'' wheels and an 8 speed 26er. I think I own both of these bikes due to a solid company-rider relationship. I have always liked the looks of NS bikes but wonder about how much I would feel like one of NS Bikes pro riders. I bleed blood everyday I ride. Yep, I suck! But, I do ride and I do push myself harder every time I ride. I believe that the extra push I get is from visiting BLK MRKT's web page and looking at pics and videos of the same frame I ride doing amazing things. Soderstorm rocks and I will visit NS Bikes site to see what's up! Carter Holland is a super cool guy and he even told the world about the loss of his female pit, Sierra. I was so sorry to hear about his loss and I could relate. I have two pits that mean the world to me.

yeah boy!
