THE NCR AF RANGE
The Neo Racer Aluminium Frame for NCR AF is the first sport bike in our range. It excels in the versatility demanded by novice road cyclists. It's perfect for both flatland and mountain rides. Its large frame clearance means you can even fit 38 mm tires for rolling trails.
This is a bike with sporty geometry. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure your safety.
ZOOM ON FRAME KIT
The frame is made of "double butted" 6061 aluminum, i.e. the aluminum is worked 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 of carbon for more precise steering and weight savings.
THE COCKPIT
The NCR AF TIAGRA is fully equipped with the SHIMANO TIAGRA (4700) group.
The complete weight of the group in disc version is 3350g.
This group provides reliable and precise gear shifting. It also offers hydraulic disc braking. The handles are slim and compact, and the ergonomics have been optimized for easy access to the levers from the hoods. (Shifters R4720)
It benefits from the latest developments made by Shimano on top-of-the-range groupsets.
DEVELOPMENTS
The bike is equipped with a double chainring SHIMANO TIAGRA ( FC 4700 ) in 48/34.
The 48 allows a more frequent pedaling and to stay more often on the middle of the cassette.
Cassette ( CS-HG500-10 ) 10 speeds with the following staggering:
11-12-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32
If you wish to change the cassette, the derailleur accepts 34 teeth maximum. (RD 4700 GS)
Chain: KMC TWX10
Crank length according to size:
XXS / XS: 165mm
S: 170mm
M: 172,5mm
L / XL: 175mm
TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE
We would like to draw your attention to the need for regular maintenance of your transmission, especially if you ride in difficult conditions (wet and/or dirty roads)
Regular maintenance will ensure that your transmission lasts longer.
Regular chain inspection is essential, using a wear tester available from Decathlon (part no. 8351086).
TRANSMISSION LIFETIME
When buying a bike, it's important to take the cost of maintenance into account when choosing the drivetrain.
The values below are average values, given as an indication, and will vary greatly depending on maintenance.
The average life of a well-maintained chain is 5,000 km
The average life of a cassette is 10,000-12,0000 km
A poorly maintained chain can cause chain jumping and damage to the frame.
DISC BRAKES
SHIMANO TIAGRA disc brakes with 160 mm discs front and rear.
TIAGRA SHIMANO disc brakes are hydraulic, so braking is more progressive and powerful than with hydromechanical brakes.
A running-in period is required. Simply make a series of 20 progressive brake applications at low speed (20 km/h), then a second series at 30 km/h. Both brakes need to be run-in.
Running-in improves adhesion between pad and disc.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic brakes operate via a closed circuit between your brake lever and your caliper.
The system is sealed by a hose.
Over time, a normal loss of pressure in your hoses will occur, resulting in a loss of braking efficiency. When your brake is too soft, or when you come to a stop on your handlebars, you need to bleed your system. This operation requires special tools and know-how.
WARNING AND ADJUSTMENT
ATTENTION: never brake with no load, if there is no wheel, you risk sticking the pads.
If your disc touches, please proceed as follows to realign the wheel and the caliper:
- Loosen the wheel axle
- Brake hard and retighten the wheel axle at the same time
- If the disc still touches, you'll need to do the same operation while loosening the caliper
- If the problem persists, go to the store.
WHEELS VAN RYSEL

Through axle (100 x 12 front / 142 x 12 rear )
Profile height of 23 mm
24 double-restricted stainless steel spokes for better corrosion resistance and weight savings
19 mm internal width, asymmetrical rim for better stress balancing and therefore a stronger wheel.
Tubeless rim base, tubeless ready wheel. Tubeless valve in box.
HUTCHINSON PERF BLACK TIRE
Size: 700 X 28 C
After 2 years of research, the HUTCHINSON teams have come up with a new ElevenSTORM® rubber that meets the 5 main performance criteria of a tire: Grip, Efficiency, Life, Puncture resistance, Comfort.
This version is the perfect harmony for all cyclists who want to go fast and far. Combined with a Kevlar® reinforcement under the tread, it will reassure the most anxious and offers a life expectancy in excess of 4000 km
tubeless ready
TUBELESS OR INNER TUBE
We recommend that you use the tubeless valve supplied with your bike to convert your tires to tubeless.
Tubeless tires provide greater comfort, better performance and allow the tire to repair itself in the event of small pinches.
Of course, an inner tube is always a must in your repair kit in the event of a puncture with a large hole in the tire.

WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE
You should refer to the bike's geometry chart.
If you're between two sizes, a shorter bike will be better suited to cyclists looking for a more responsive, edgier bike. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more composed bike for long-distance riding, the larger size may be the better choice.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT
This bike has been tested for a maximum load of 110 kg (rider + equipment).
