Overview

Introducing the 2018 Arch Method 143, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of American craftsmanship and cutting-edge engineering. Positioned in the sport category, this bike is not just about aesthetics; it’s a statement of performance and exclusivity. Designed by the legendary actor and motorcycle aficionado Keanu Reeves and his partner Gard Hollinger, the Method 143 is a limited-production masterpiece that appeals to discerning riders seeking a blend of power, style, and innovation. With its striking design and attention to detail, this motorcycle is more than a machine; it’s an embodiment of passion and precision. At the heart of the Arch Method 143 lies a formidable 2,376.27 ccm (145.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating riding experience. This powerhouse is engineered for optimal performance, featuring a sophisticated fuel injection system that ensures smooth throttle response and impressive torque across the rev range. The bike's chain final drive offers an immediate connection to the road, allowing riders to harness the raw power with confidence. Whether carving through twisty backroads or cruising down the highway, the Method 143 provides an engaging and dynamic ride that keeps enthusiasts coming back for more. What truly sets the Method 143 apart is its advanced technology and premium features. The carbon fiber monocell chassis, which integrates the fuel cell, not only enhances structural integrity but also contributes to the bike's lightweight design, resulting in agile handling and enhanced stability. The Ohlins/Arch proprietary suspension system, featuring a fully adjustable FGRT series fork at the front and a rear shock with hydraulic pre-load adjustment, ensures that riders can fine-tune their setup for any riding condition. Coupled with double disc brakes in the front and a single disc at the rear, the braking performance is equally impressive, providing the confidence needed to tackle any corner with precision. **
