2020 Arch KRGT-1
Upgraded performance cruiser from the Keanu Reeves stableKeanu Reeves – the lead actor in the Matrix and John Wick trilogies – has taken his passion for motorbikes to the next level by partnering with renowned bike customiser Gard Hollinger to produce a "bespoke production motorcycle" under the Arch Motorcycle banner.
The first bikes launched in 2014 and Arch has just released its first major update, with more than 150 new components crafted for the KRGT-1 performance cruiser.
The bike is powered by a 124 cubic-inch S&S V-twin engine good for a claimed 122Nm at the rear wheel.
The revised KRGT-1 boasts redesigned bodywork, upgraded suspension, ergonomic enhancements and updated braking and safety features.
Arch Motorcycle co-founder Gard Hollinger says the bike was originally designed to push the boundaries of what an American V-twin could do.
“Our new KRGT-1 stays true to the original objective while further developing and refining the motorcycle’s design and performance elements to enhance the overall riding experience,” Hollinger says.
Keanu Reeves touts the "unsurpassed riding experience" as a reason behind Arch's success.
“The focus on fit and finish, the detail, the execution, the exceptional quality, how the bike is made defines ARCH.”
A new race-inspired billet aluminum swingarm now improves rigidity and reduces unsprung weight for improved handling. It is controlled by an Öhlins fully adjustable shock absorber.
To increase stability and improve tyre feedback, the new KRGT-1 is equipped with larger diameter 48mm Öhlins front forks are used and ISR six-piston front brake callipers.
Bodywork upgrades include a a redesigned fuel tank, tail section and seat, while Magura clutch and front brake assemblies were chosen for their feedback and performance.
Five-spoke carbon-fibre wheels and Michelin Commander rubber keep the KRGT-1 connected to the road.
Arch motorcycles are designed to be tailored through a bespoke ergonomic and aesthetic package, created in close partnership with the client throughout the 90-day build process. The result is an machine completely unique to each owner.
