Overview

Introducing the 2020 Arch Method 143, a limited-edition masterpiece that seamlessly blends cutting-edge engineering with unparalleled craftsmanship. Designed by motorcycle enthusiasts for enthusiasts, this sport motorcycle stands out not just as a means of transportation but as a statement piece for those who crave exclusivity and performance. With only 23 units produced, the Method 143 exemplifies the spirit of Arch Motorcycles, merging artistry with high-performance engineering to create a bike that commands attention on the road and the showroom floor. At the heart of the Method 143 is a formidable V2, four-stroke engine boasting a displacement of 2343cc (142.97 cubic inches). This powerhouse generates an impressive 162 horsepower and a staggering torque of 204.76 Nm, ensuring that every twist of the throttle delivers exhilarating acceleration and unmatched responsiveness. The 6-speed gearbox provides smooth transitions through the gears, while the chain final drive enhances the bike's performance-oriented feel. With a compression ratio of 10.8:1 and an advanced fuel injection system, the Method 143 not only promises exhilarating speed but also refined handling and rideability that makes it a joy to navigate both twisty backroads and open highways. The Method 143 is crafted with an innovative carbon fiber monocell chassis, which integrates the fuel cell for a lightweight yet robust structure. This design contributes to its dynamic handling and agility, amplified by the Ohlins/Arch proprietary suspension setup. The fully adjustable FGRT series front fork and the rear shock with hydraulic pre-load adjustment allow riders to fine-tune their ride to perfection, accommodating both spirited cornering and comfortable cruising. Coupled with powerful braking systems featuring double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, the Method 143 ensures that performance is matched by safety and control. **
