TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
THE NCR CF RANGE
The Neo Racer Carbon Frame bike is our most all-round bike but still retains a strong focus on performance. It's part of the Race range, with a sporty character that's sure to appeal to performance-oriented cyclists.
Whether you're a beginner or an old hand, you'll love what this bike has to offer.
Every bike in the NCR range is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes to guarantee progressive braking in all weather conditions.
A SINGLE CHAINRING VERSATILE BIKE
This bike is the perfect partner for getting into competitions from a young age (size XXS) or for taking part in your first triathlons. It has a big clearance that lets you mount tyres measuring up to 35 mm so you can explore the trails near your home.This single chainring is designed for cyclists looking for simplicity and pleasure when riding.The electric drive train is reliable, simple and fast.
A closer look at the frame
100% carbon frame and fork. The carbon makes the bike lighter, more rigid and more energetic.
We've also used carbon in the fork to give you precise, direct steering.
The NCR CF bike's frame weighs 1200 g in size M when painted. The fork weighs 413 g.
Frame clearance: there's enough clearance to mount tyres up to 35 mm wide. With 38 mm tyres, there's a strong risk of damaging the paintwork.

Drive train maintenance
We want to draw your attention to the need for regular drive train maintenance, particularly if you're riding in difficult conditions (wet and/or dirty roads).
Regular maintenance helps your drive train to last longer.
You should regularly check your chain with our chain wear indicator,
which is available on our website.
Lifespan of a drive train
When buying a bike, it's important to take into account the cost of servicing it, especially as regards the drive train.
The amounts below are averages and are given so that you have a general idea of what to expect. They will of course vary depending on the care you take of your drive train.
The average lifespan of a well-maintained chain is 5000 km
The average lifespan of a cassette is 10000-12000 km
Disc brakes
SRAM Paceline disc brake with a 160 mm rotor at the front and at the back
NB the reach of the brake levers can be adjusted to suit your hand size.
You will need to bed these brakes in. Simply brake gradually 20 times at a low speed (20 km/h), then repeat at 30 km/h. Make sure to bed in both brakes.
This creates better grip between the pad and disc.
Mavic AKSIUM wheels
The Mavic Aksyium wheels give a particularly good ratio of weight to rigidity and performance. These 1905 g wheels (per pair) have an inner rim width of 19 mm and depth of 32 mm.
This wheel is incredibly versatile and absolutely reliable.
HUTCHINSON FUSION 5 PERF BLACK TYRE
Size: 700 x 28 C
Two years of R&D by the Hutchinson product teams has given birth to a new ElevenSTORM® rubber that meets the five main performance criteria for a high-end tyre: Grip, rolling performance, robustness, puncture resistance, comfort.
This version offers the perfect balance for all cyclists who want to go faster and further. When combined with a Kevlar® strip under the tread, it lets you ride with peace of mind and is rated to last for over 4000 km. Tubeless ready.
Tubeless or inner tube
We recommend switching your tyres to tubeless using the tubeless valve that comes with this bike.
Tubeless is more comfortable and more efficient, and the tyres can self-repair when you get small punctures.
Of course, you should always carry an inner tube in your repair kit, just in case your tyre gets a slightly bigger puncture.
