TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

The NCR AF Range

The Neo Racer Aluminium Frame (NCR AF) is the first sports bike in our range. It excels in the versatility demanded by novice road cyclists.It's perfectly suited to outings on the plains or in the mountains. Its large frame clearance means it can even be fitted with 38 mm tyres for use on rolling trails.

This is a bike with a sporty geometry. The hydraulic disc brakes are there to ensure your safety.

A closer look at the frame

The frame is made from 'double butted' 6061 aluminium, which means that the aluminium is manufactured in 2 different thicknesses along the length of the tubes.

The aim is to reduce weight while ensuring a strong, rigid frame.

The welds are polished for an undeniable aesthetic effect.

The fork is made from carbon for more precise handling and reduced weight.

COCKPIT

The NCR AF Tiagra comes with the full Shimano Tiagra (4700) groupset.

The total weight of the groupset with disc brakes is 3350 g.

This groupset gives you precise, reliable gear changes. It also comes with hydraulic disc brakes. The handles are thin and compact, with the ergonomics optimised so that you can easily reach the levers. (R4720 shifters)

It comes with all of Shimano's latest-generation groupset technology.

Gearing

This bike comes with a Shimano Tiagra (FC 4700) 48/34 double chainring. The 48T ring gives you a higher cadence and lets you stay in the middle of the cassette for longer.

10-speed cassette (CS-HG500-10) with the following increments:

11-12-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32

If you want to change the cassette, the derailleur can take up to 34t. (RD 4700 GS)

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.

Regular chain checks are essential, using a wear tester available from Decathlon (item code: 8351086).

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.

Thru axle (100 x 12 front / 142 x 12 rear).

23 mm profile height.

24 double restricted stainless steel spokes for improved corrosion resistance and weight savings.

19 mm internal width, asymmetrical rim for better stress balancing and a stronger wheel.

Tubeless rim tape, tubeless ready wheel. Tubeless valve in the box.

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.
