Introducing the 2019 NCR New Blue, a breathtaking blend of cutting-edge technology and Italian craftsmanship, designed for discerning motorcyclists who seek performance and exclusivity. Positioned firmly in the sport category, this limited-edition motorcycle is not just a mode of transport but a statement of passion and precision. With only 50 numbered units produced, the New Blue represents the pinnacle of NCR’s engineering prowess, catering to enthusiasts who appreciate both aesthetics and adrenaline.
At the heart of the New Blue lies a formidable 1100cc V2 four-stroke engine, delivering a robust 116 horsepower at 8,450 RPM and a torque of 106 Nm at 6,700 RPM. This powerplant, equipped with an advanced injection fuel system and NCR’s proprietary Automatic Remapping System (ARS), ensures optimal performance across varying riding conditions. The 6-speed gearbox, combined with a slipper clutch, allows for seamless gear transitions, making every twist of the throttle exhilarating. The lightweight chassis, weighing in at just 145 kg (319.7 lbs), translates to astonishing power-to-weight ratio of 0.8 HP/kg, allowing riders to experience agile handling and responsive acceleration that will leave them breathless.
The technological innovations don’t end with the engine. The New Blue features a meticulously crafted tubular trellis frame inspired by the Ducati Sport 1000 S model, offering an exceptional balance between rigidity and comfort. The Ohlins suspension—both front and rear—ensures that the bike is tuned for performance on the track while maintaining rideability on the road. High-performance Brembo braking systems, with double disc WAVE brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, provide confident stopping power. Every component, from the NCR Al 7075/Titanium footrests to the magnesium clutch cover, speaks to an obsessive attention to detail and a commitment to lightweight performance.
