NCRM 16
2016
2016
The NCRM 16, released in 2016, was a bold entry into the hyper-naked motorcycle category. While not directly succeeding any previous NCRM models, it aimed to compete with established rivals like the Ducati Streetfighter 1098 and Aprilia Tuono V4 1100. It promised a raw, unfiltered riding experience focused on power and minimal weight, targeting experienced riders seeking extreme performance.
At the heart of the NCRM 16 lies a potent 998.0 ccm (60.90 cubic inches) engine. This powerplant produces a staggering 200.0 HP (146.0 kW) at 7600 RPM. This output translates to impressive acceleration and top-end speed. Crucially, the motorcycle's incredibly low weight of 145.0 kg (319.7 pounds) significantly contributes to its power-to-weight ratio, making it exceptionally responsive and agile.
The NCRM 16 offers a very aggressive, track-focused ergonomics. Rearset pegs and a low handlebar position place the rider in an attack position, ideal for carving corners. However, this aggressive posture may become tiring during longer rides. The suspension is firm and responsive, providing excellent feedback from the road. Wind protection is minimal, as is typical for naked bikes, further emphasizing the focus on raw sensation and direct connection to the machine.
The NCRM 16 is intended for experienced riders who prioritize extreme performance and handling above all else. It's a motorcycle for those who crave the visceral thrill of a high-powered, lightweight machine on the track or a twisty back road. While not the most comfortable or practical option for daily commuting, the NCRM 16 provides an unparalleled experience for riders seeking unadulterated performance.
