The original KRGT-1 returns - newer and improved!
ARCH motorcycles recently took the wraps off three models – an upgraded version of the original KRGT-1 launched in 2015, the sporty 2032cc KRGT-1S, and the limited edition (only 23 units will be produced) 2343cc Method 143. We bring you some features of the 2018 KRGT-1, the improved version of the original KRGT-1.
ARCH motorcycles, founded by Canadian Keanu Reeves, have focussed on ergonomic enhancements for the KRGT-1. Retaining the 2032cc V-Twin engine, it is encased in a steel frame, with a Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machined aluminium subframe. Apart from being Euro-4 compliant, forward or mid control options are also installed.
Other notable changes include a new Ohlins FGRT inverted fork and an ARCH proprietary rear shock, which ARCH collaborated with Ohlins to customise the suspension specially for them. The bike runs on BST carbon fiber wheels, produced by BlackStone Tek which is one of the world’s renowned carbon fiber motorcycle wheel manufacturer. One trait which we like is the fact that buyers have the luxury to customise the fit and finish of the KRGT-1 – buyers are first provided with a frame and then aesthetic wise, it’s up to your personal preference. Go wild.
