About NCR

Country of Origin: Italy
Founder: Rino Caracchi, Giorgio Nepoti, and later partners
Best Known For: Ducati-based racing specials and ultra-light limited-production exotics

Company History

NCR began as a race shop extracting improbable speed from Ducati twins—lightening, blueprinting, and perfecting until lap times fell and legends grew. Over decades, the firm evolved into a boutique manufacturer of hand-built exotics: carbon frames and bodywork, billet swingarms, magnesium wheels, and engines massaged to intoxicating responsiveness. The philosophy is coherence—shed mass everywhere, sharpen geometry, and tune fueling so inputs translate directly into motion. NCR’s collaborations with renowned riders and tuners fed back into customer machines that feel simultaneously razor-edged and trustworthy. Volumes are tiny and prices high, but the bikes are functioning art—track-capable instruments that still idle cleanly and stop traffic at a cafe. Historically, NCR preserves the purity of Italian racing craft in street-legal form, reminding riders that the ultimate luxury isn’t chrome or screens—it’s feedback.
