The NeilPryde name has appeared on bicycle down tubes for just seven years, but the Hong Kong company has been manufacturing carbonfibre booms and masts for the windsurfing industry since the 1980s. The NeilPryde bike division is now UK based but still sells to a global market via online platforms.
There are four models in the 2017 range: the Bura is the lightweight race bike while the Nazaré is the aero road racer. There’s also the enduranceoriented Zephyr and the UCI-compliant Bayamo triathlon/time trial bike.
Frame
The Bura SL is made from NeilPryde’s C6.9 carbon-fibre — the company’s own label for the Toray 46T and 60T it uses in its construction, the Japanese manufacturer’s highest-modulus carbon suitable for bicycle frames.
