According to co-founders Gard Hollinger and Keanu Reeves, this is splendid news. The Euro 4 certification is the greatest achievement for ARCH Motorcycle thus far.
“The focus is to achieve Euro 4 certification and make ARCH motorcycles available to more riders around the world. This has taken a significant investment of time, energy and innovation,” Hollinger said.

“We didn’t want to just make the existing bike meet the regulations. We wanted to use the opportunity to make meaningful design updates throughout the machine. The benefit of partnerships with Bosch, Michelin, TE Connectivity, K&N Engineering and S&S Cycle were tremendously helpful throughout the entire process.”
“We took Euro 4 compliance as an opportunity to look at every element of the motorcycle,” Reeves said.
“We didn’t just look at the parts we needed for certification. Instead, we took on every element that we had been considering to redefine the motorcycle moving forward. These design changes along with the requirements for the legislation, have resulted in an even more refined ARCH KRGT-1.”
