NS Bikes Capital 26 Frame 2020 features
Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying MTB Frames. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of NS Bikes Capital 26 Frame 2020.
The first thing is material. Looking at what NS Bikes Capital 26 Frame 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new MTB Frames. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling MTB Frames. Brands like NS Bikes are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the MTB Frames category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for MTB Frames.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: NS Bikes Capital 26 FrameWith its radical geometry and multi-butted tubing, the Capital is a street riding frame that’s ready to tear up the streets and take a beating as you hone your tricks. The butted CrMo Steel tubing has been strengthened in key stress areas, yet the frame has not been made too thin overall so it resists dents from those inevitable drops and crashes. Despite all this extra strengthening, the frame still comes in at only 2.6kg – meaning once built up your custom street bike build should come in around 9-10kg.Stiff and Strong Street Bike FrameNS Bikes made the frame strong enough even for the most hardcore riders. This radical frame is the brainchild of "RNS" – the NS Bikes test rider and product manager. The Capital comes with narrow seat stays and U-brake mounts which are the better solution for street, providing plenty of power, modulation and a clean look with nothing to catch on your trousers. It has completely removable brake hardware so it will look pure for those who prefer to go brakeless. 26er Frame for BMX ComponentsThe Capital is not a big street BMX cruiser. The geometry is radical but you can still use short travel suspension. But the parts that you should fit come straight from 20” world – a BMX hub (110x14mm), Spanish bottom bracket, integrated headset, integrated pivotal post, removable U-brakes bosses in the case you need them… simply a pure street frame. The Capital comes now with integrated tapered IS42/IS52 headtube with gyro tabs working perfectly with short travel dirt jump suspension forks.
