2023 ARCH 1S Breaks Cover In The US – RM600k

Arch Motorcycle has announced the new ARCH 1S motorcycle sport cruiser for 2023.

  • The ARCH 1S is the latest exclusive motorcycle to join the Arch’s family.
  • The 1S features 2032cc S&S Cycle T124 45-degree downdraft fuel-injected V-Twin engine. 

The company, co-owned by Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger, adds another sport-cruiser type to the current roster.

Based on the super-exclusive KRGT-1, the ARCH 1S also features billet steel and aluminium construction and top-notch components in the form of Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension and BST carbon-fibre wheels.

However, 1S is equipped with Arch Motorcycle first ever in-house built, single-sided swingarm, unlike the KRGT-1. 

According to Arch Motorcycle, the 1S is sportier and features race-inspired performance than the KRGT-1.

“We just celebrated our 10th Anniversary as a company this past year, yet it feels like only yesterday that I put forth the idea of starting a motorcycle company with Gard. 

“It is incredible to see how far we’ve come in such a short period – from the KRGT-1’s amazing reception to the new 1s as our second model. 

“And that’s a real testament to our talented design and build teams and their ability to produce something that fulfils ARCH’s ambitions for what a motorcycle company can bring in architecture, style, elegance, and overall experience,” said Keanu Reeves.

Underneath the tube and billet construction sits a 2032cc S&S Cycle T124 45-degree downdraft fuel-injected V-Twin engine that produces 156.33Nm peak torque. However, the information regarding the 1S horsepower is not disclosed. 

Equipped with a 20L fuel tank, the ARCH 1S is essentially built to tackle long journeys.

However, like previous Arch’s motorcycles, every unit is made to order for US-based customers. According to official information, the ARCH 1S is available for USD128,000 (RM600k).
