About NCR Leggera 2011
Introducing the 2011 NCR Leggera, a striking entry into the supermotard category that embodies the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, lightweight design, and exhilarating performance. With a price tag of $76,000, the Leggera isn't just a motorcycle; it’s a statement of intent for discerning riders who crave exclusivity and a track-ready experience. Crafted by NCR, a brand synonymous with performance and innovation, the Leggera is designed for those who appreciate the art of engineering and the thrill of the ride.
At the heart of the Leggera is its impressive 1078cc V2 engine, which churns out a robust 90 horsepower at 7750 RPM. This power is harnessed through a smooth 6-speed gearbox and delivered via a responsive chain final drive, ensuring riders can unleash the full potential of the engine on both city streets and winding backroads. The unique combination of oil and air cooling provides consistent performance, while the EFI Magneti Marelli fuel system with 45mm throttle bodies guarantees precise fuel delivery for optimal throttle response. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5732 HP/kg, the Leggera is not just fast; it’s a lightning bolt ready to carve through corners and accelerate out of them with unparalleled agility.
The technological prowess of the Leggera extends beyond its impressive engine. Its trellis frame, made entirely from Grade 9 Titanium, weighs a mere 4.8 kg (10.6 lbs), contributing to its overall lightweight of 157 kg (346.1 lbs). This is complemented by a state-of-the-art suspension setup featuring Ohlins components—both front and rear are fully adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning based on riding style and conditions. The front brakes feature double disc WAVE rotors with Brembo Racing calipers, ensuring that stopping power is just as formidable as acceleration. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the custom gas cap to the adjustable ride height and the use of high-grade materials like Al 7075 and titanium for the rear sets and passenger peg supports.
Pros:
- Exquisite Engineering: The use of Grade 9 Titanium in the frame and high-end components like Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes ensures a lightweight yet robust structure.
- Exceptional Performance: With 90 HP and a responsive 6-speed gearbox, the Leggera offers thrilling acceleration and agility that is perfect for spirited riding.
- Customizability: The fully adjustable suspension and ergonomic features allow riders to tailor the bike to their preferences, enhancing comfort and handling.
Cons:
- High Price Point: At $76,000, the Leggera is a significant investment, making it less accessible for the average rider.
- Limited Practicality: Designed primarily for performance, its supermotard setup may not be the best choice for long-distance touring or everyday commuting.
- Niche Market: Its exclusivity and specialized features might not appeal to all riders, particularly those seeking a more versatile motorcycle.
In sum, the 2011 NCR Leggera is a masterclass in motorcycle design, blending performance, craftsmanship, and advanced technology into a single, thrilling package. For those who seek the ultimate in supermotard performance and are willing to invest in it, the Leggera is undoubtedly a machine that promises to deliver an unforgettable riding experience.
