The Arch Method

The Arch Method

We all know what a gem of a person Keanu Reeves is. And also, his impressive portfolio of movies, of which the Matrix Trilogy remains the most epic. Well, there is a 4th installation in the works as well. Apart from making movies and being a beautiful soul, Keanu Reeves is a hardcore auto bub and owns some cool wheels.

His love for custom motorcycles was the catalyst for the inception of ARCH Motorcycles. He had got his Harley-Davidson customized by Gard Hollinger in 2007. He was in love with that project and decided to take things further. He pitched in an idea to Hollinger on starting a new motorcycle company from scratch. And that's how ARCH Motorcycles came into being.

Their first motorcycle was called the ARCH KRGT-1 which was a performance cruiser, tallying to the likes of Ducati Diavel and equally evil. After this limited-run model, they dropped a bomb with "Method 143" at the 2017 EICMA. This motorcycle is an embodiment of the vision that ARCH Motorcycles with impeccable craftsmanship and precision.

It gets an engine from S&S who are also the makers of some of the best custom parts for Harley-Davidsons. It also uses a lot of in-house components and its collaboration with Suter Racing makes ARCH Motorcycles' top-of-the-line offering, an elusive performance machine.

The ARCH Method 143 is the custom motorcycle maker's flagship power cruiser that looks insanely cool and is limited to just 23 units.

The ARCH Method 143 looks futuristic for sure but it gets the grunt from a classic 143 cu. in. V-Twin engine from S&S. They haven't revealed the performance figures but its chunky engine has been confirmed to pump out 170 hp and  147.5 lb-ft of neck-snapping torque. It is coupled to a 6-Speed manual gearbox and gets a dry clutch setup.

S&S has complemented this motor with a 3-piece flywheel set, High-performance tappets, two-bolt exhaust flanges, and a high-flow oil pump. Aesthetics have also been given due importance with gloss black rocker covers, tappet blocks, pushrod tubes, and gear cover.

Gard Hollinger is a self-taught mechanic, engineer, as well as and artist. He has always had a keen eye for custom designs and has made the most of his love in Method 143. It gets a carbon fiber monocoque frame and a single-sided CNC machined aluminum swingarm. This and almost all of the CNC machined aluminum bodywork are manufactured by Suter Racing, of whom ARCH Motorcycles are the sole distributors in the US.

Method 143 doesn't stray away from carbon fiber and aluminum when it comes to even the largest of the bike's components. The coolest is its 17-inch 'Turbine' wheels from BST which are carbon fiber and look out worldly. Another unique fusion is of leather and aluminum which is beautifully laid out on its seat and tank. Yes, the ARCH Method 143 uses leather tank grabs. Talk about gripping in luxury.

Custom Race-Spec SC-Project Exhaust Among The Other Dope Custom Parts

Each and every component on this motorcycle has been thoroughly given custom treatment. The 'loudest' of this bunch is the bespoke full titanium and carbon fiber SC-Project exhaust system. It also gets Ohlins proprietary FGRT series fully adjustable front forks as well as fully adjustable rear mono-shock. Braking duty is taken care of by ISR dual 6-piston 30mm monobloc calipers with floating discs at the front and Dual ISR 4-piston monobloc with a semi-floating disc at the rear.

Meaty Michelin Power RS tires make sure you stay stuck to the road and give you ample confidence through those curves. The front forks are layered with a carbon fiber airfoil with 'ARCH' written boldly across it. Apart from these, more than 200 individually machined aluminum parts have been made each for all 23 of these specimen.

ARCH Method 143 Looks Drop-Dead Gorgeous; Coolest-Looking Performace Cruiser Yet

The ARCH Method 143 looks quite unique and truly showcases the unique performance cruising appeal in style. The layer-machined tank is one of the gorgeous aspects of this motorcycle that are worth staring at. The seat and tank pads are of leather for added lux-appeal that goes well with its grunt. The aluminum sub-frame is neatly tucked in a steep and layered tail section.

There are a lot of exposed carbon fiber elements that harmoniously go with the machined aluminum parts. The instrument cluster is high-tech and is called an 'Arch mobile phone instrumentation display' which boasted of connected tech. The LED lighting on Method 143 is also unique and we actually dig the eccentric design of the headlamps. It is crowned by a neat-looking windshield that goes well with the motorcycle's appeal. This thing makes the sinister Ducati Diavel look silly!

The Arch Method 143 'Cyberpunk 2077' Edition Is A Virtual Masterpiece

It was obvious of the ARCH Motorcycles to be featured in Cyberpunk 2077, a game that was highly anticipated. Well, the game didn't take off as planned but the 2077 version of the Method 143 surely looks dope. The motorcycle is a heavily modified version that takes inspiration from the 143. It gets a conceptual powertrain and funky neon-yellow body panels. The wheels have been swapped with dope-looking disc wheels, and the wheelbase has also been stretched out.

ARCH Method 143 Price And Launch Date

Via: Jordonpay.com

Only 23 of the ARCH Method 143s will ever be made, and we believe that all have already been sold out. Come on! We are talking about a company backed by Keanu Reeves here. That dude spreads like wildfire and now so does his cool company. Pricing was never unveiled but a 6-figure price tag is what we presume and, 90 days to build this bad boy would surely make the wait unbearable.
