2013 NS Clash 2 Bike

All Round / Freeride / Jumping

The Clash is a true all-round fun bike with light alloy frame.Tough yet light, simple and multi-functional. The Clash is a hardtail that will feel great to ride hard on any kind of challenging terrain – from big drops and jumps to long climbs and winding singletrack. The bike will be stable at high speed and on big airs, but will also allow the rider to pedal back home quite comfortably. And even our hard-core dirt-jumping riders, who tried the Clash, reported that they felt totally at home with the riding position. So, if you want a do-it-all hardtail, you should be riding this bike.
Despite the nice price, the Clash 2 is loaded with great components – you will find the light NS Quark stem, NS Terra handlebar, NS Aerial pedals, lightweight Kenda tires and Octane One saddle on this bike, all mounted on the beautiful new alloy frame.
