The Italian streetfighter got a handful of modifications, including full titanium frame, ceramic-carbon brakes and carbon-fibre bodywork. The engine delivers 110 horses but you can choose between two optional transformation kits which gives you extra 15 or 22hp.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbike.com\/ncr\/leggera-1200-special\/2010\/photos?page=2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" title=\"Click on the image for more pictures\" src=\"http:\/\/p2m.mbike.com\/000\/003\/726\/12778663_d.jpg\" alt=\"Click on the image for more pictures\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click on the image for more pictures<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Leggera is based on the 1100 Hypermotard but you have to look very closely if you want to find an identical component on the two bikes. The frame is made entirely of grade 9 titanium, so it only weighs 4.8kg. There is a ceramic-carbon front brake and the carbon fibre bodywork and wheels add to the weight reduction. Engine modifications include more titanium for the valves, magnesium engine covers, NCR race cams, and bigger bore cylinders making for 110 hp or you can choose the first transformation kit which increases power to 125hp. The 110hp version weighs an amazing 157kg, but there\u2019s another NCR Corse kit only available with the more powerful, 132hp version so the bike weighs just 135kg. The minimalist, lightweight bike isn\u2019t cheap, it costs $76,000 in Italy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbike.com\/ncr\/leggera-1200-special\/2010\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" title=\"The lightest Hypermotard ever made\" src=\"http:\/\/p2m.mbike.com\/000\/003\/726\/18639540_d.jpg\" alt=\"The lightest Hypermotard ever made\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lightest Hypermotard ever made<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a class=\"mb-more\" title=\"2010 NCR Leggera 1200 Special Spec and Photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mbike.com\/ncr\/leggera-1200-special\/2010\" target=\"_self\">2010 NCR Leggera 1200 Special Specifications and Photos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NCR Leggera 1200 Special is reportedly the lightest Hypermotard ever made \u2013 shedding an unbeliveable 57kg from the already minimal Ducati.
