It’s hard to believe, but it’s been five whole years since ARCH Motorcycle introduced its second design, the 1s, at EICMA in 2017. Time has been exceptionally weird for the past few years due to the pandemic, though. In March, 2022, the Californian bespoke motorcycle firm released key specs on the upcoming 1s, along with a small handful of studio photos to get everyone excited about the full release.
Indeed, the finished product was shaping up to be an intriguing piece of machinery. It features a 124 c.i. (2,032cc) S&S Cycle V-twin, which makes a claimed 121.77 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheel. It’s mated to a six-speed gearbox with a dry clutch.
