| 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. |
| An all-round 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. |
| 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 chosen to have a carbon fork for more direct, precise control.
The NCR CF's painted frame weighs 1200 g in size M and the fork weighs 413 g.
Frame clearance: there's enough clearance to mount up to 35 mm tyres.
Important: with 38 mm tyres, there's a great risk of damaging the paintwork. |
| COCKPIT |
The NCR CF's cockpit is made entirely from aluminium, with a Van Rysel oversize stem and handlebar.
The stem size depends on the frame size:
XXS: 60 mm
XS: 70 mm
S: 80 mm
M: 90mm L: 100mm
XL: 110 mm
Handlebar width (edge-edge):

| DRIVE TRAIN MAINTENANCE |
Please note that it is important to regularly service your drive train, especially if you ride in difficult conditions (wet and/or dirty roads).
Regular maintenance will help your drive train to last for 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 10,000-12,000 km.
A poorly maintained chain can jump, which can damage your bike's frame. |
| DISC BRAKES |
Shimano Tiagra disc brakes with 160 mm rotors at the front and back.
The Shimano Tiagra brakes are hydraulic. This gives you progressive, more powerful braking than with cable-actuated brakes.
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.
Bedding in creates more friction between the disc and brake pad. |
| Hydraulic brake maintenance |
Hydraulic brakes function using a closed circuit between your brake lever and your caliper.
There is a hose to maintain the seal.
With time, you'll see a normal loss of pressure in your hoses, leading to a loss of braking efficiency. When your brake guard is too soft, or you stop short against your handlebar, you need to bleed your system. This requires specific tools and knowledge. |
| WARNING AND ADJUSTMENT |
Please note: never squeeze the brakes without a wheel being attached, as you could get the brake pads stuck together.
If the rotor is touching the pads, here's how to realign the wheel and caliper:
- Loosen the wheel axle
- Brake hard and tighten the axle at the same time
- If the rotor is still touching the brakes, do the same thing and loosen the caliper
- If you're unable to resolve the issue, please visit one of our workshops. |

| Hutchinson 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, durability, 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. |

| Which size? |
Please refer to the bike frame geometry table.
If you're between sizes, a shorter bike is better if you want something more responsive and lively. However, if you want to be comfortable when riding long distances, the bigger size is your best bet. |
