Arch Motorcycle outfits its bikes with all kinds of high-end features and custom components. Among the most innovative: the catalytic converters.

Each seat is custom-fit to the buyer. Each key, machined out of billet aluminum, comes in a dramatic case, along with a book chronicling the bike’s build story. The fuel tank, split in half to house Arch’s proprietary downdraft system, is also carved from billet.As co-founder Keanu Reeves says, every Arch is a showcase of “all the classical moments you look for in a bike.”

have helped Arch meet not only California Air Resources Board and Environmental Protection Agency standards but also stringent Euro 4 emissions requirements. By late 2014, the duo had launched their first production model, the KRGT-1, which Hollinger says helped birth a new genre of bike now known as the “performance cruiser.”broadening Arch’s range with two new models, as well as starting production on a heavily updated KRGT-1 . Those improvements include 20 major changes involving more than 150 newly designed and manufactured components.

Such high-art machinery takes a village. Hollinger and Reeves have won over some clever supplier partners to help them pull together the components they don’t make in-house, including Bosch, Michelin, TE Connectivity and K&N. And then there’s the torque-rich V-Twin engine custom-tuned for Arch by gold-standard S&S, whose work helped Arch achieve California Air Resources Board, EPA and Euro 4 certification.

Catalytic converters from Acat Global have a herringbone design, which the company says can improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Acat hired a former GM employee who had worked on the project, Mike Lunkas, to oversee development. In the years since, Acat has invested to progress GM’s original solution and has patented its next-gen processes.
