Overview

Introducing the 2021 Arch 1s, a stunning embodiment of American craftsmanship and performance engineering that stands proud in the sport motorcycle category. With a price tag of $120,000, it’s not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement piece designed for discerning riders who seek a unique blend of luxury and raw power. Arch Motorcycles, founded by actor Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger, has carved a niche for itself in the high-end motorcycle market, and the 1s exemplifies this ethos by marrying innovative technology with timeless design aesthetics, all meticulously handcrafted in Los Angeles. At the heart of the Arch 1s lies a beastly 2032cc V2 engine that churns out an exhilarating 120 horsepower and an impressive 163 Nm of torque. This four-stroke powerhouse delivers a thrilling ride, propelling the motorcycle from 0 to 60 mph in the blink of an eye while maintaining a smooth, responsive throttle that riders crave. The 6-speed gearbox ensures seamless power delivery, allowing for precise control whether navigating tight corners or cruising on the open highway. Complemented by a liquid cooling system, the engine remains efficient and reliable, even under the most demanding conditions. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4899 HP/kg, the 1s is engineered for performance enthusiasts who demand agility and speed. The Arch 1s is not just about raw power; its engineering excellence is evident in its chassis and suspension features. The frame is a masterclass in design, combining a billet and tubular steel structure with a CNC machined aluminum backbone for both strength and lightweight agility. The fully adjustable Ohlins suspension—both front and rear—ensures that riders experience unparalleled handling and comfort, whether carving through twisty roads or cruising on long distances. The braking system, equipped with ABS and powerful monobloc calipers, offers confidence-inspiring stopping power, making every ride not just exhilarating but also safe. The 1s also comes in a variety of striking color options—white, grey, red, and black—allowing riders to express their individuality. **
