Overview

Alize Frameset + Lightweight Standard III Tubular Wheels*

Lightweight call them Standard – but for the rest of the world this is a dream that became reality. For more than 15 years Lightweight wheels are rolling at the race tracks and the roads around the world. A countless number of pro athletes trust the performance, the stiffness and the sensational low weight of their Lightweight Standard wheels. The third generation of Standard wheels offers 30% more stiffness and therefore improved acceleration, safety and control during your ride due to the optimized shape of the rim and their new developed carbon fibre spokes.

And now you have the option to combine the Lightweight Standard wheels* with a NeilPryde Alize frameset. This forms the perfect platform from which to build your perfect breakaway bike. The optimized aerodynamics of the Alize frame combined with the sheer stiffness of the Standard III’s lets you pull away from the pack with consummate ease.

Highlights

Lightweight front hub combined with 16 carbon fibre spokes
NeilPryde logo with a laminated magnet in both front and rear rims for use with bike computers
16 spokes in the front and 20 spokes in the rear wheels provide the perfect balance between stiffness and lightweight
DT Swiss 240’s rear hub with option for Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed, Shimano 9/10 speed or SRAM 10-speed compatibility

* Lightweight Standard III wheels do not include quick release skewers, tyres, or brake pad

Test Reports

"The Alize is a remarkable foray for NeilPryde into the bicycle business. It ticks all the boxes required for a true race machine… If the company's sailing pedigree is anything to go by, I'd expect to see a lot more from NeilPryde in the future."

"Wie niet beter weet, zou zeggen dat Neilpryde al jaren niets anders heeft gedaan dan racefietsen bouwen. We vermoeden dat de gevestigde namen deze nieuwe concurrent goed in de gaten gaan houden…"

"La souplesse vertical n’est pas non plus son créneau, mais se tempere au gré des choix de roués. Et la stabilité est irréprochable : les longues distances ne sont pas inimaginables."

"To my mind with the Alize, NeilPryde have succeeded in establishing themselves as one of the big players in the high-end road market. The frame itself is aggressive in its stiffness and weight, but also very controlled and comfortable due to its road smoothing abilities. Combined with the top-of-the-range build kit, the result is a bike worthy of any privateer racer's attention."

"NeilPryde has built and specced a bike with triathletes firmly in their sights and, with an aero design and the simple addition of a seat post, has effectively delivered two cracking bikes for the price of one."

"Son accès reste assez facile, son comportement devient celui d’un vrai compétiteur. Un très bon vélo dans les deux cas, indeniablement. Un velo aussi qui vous aidera à progresser sans vous “tuer”."

"Overall the Alize is a great bike for someone who is training and racing hard. The Alize isn't the stiffest frame design but it sure felt the most aerodynamic. That said I think most of us would be hard pressed to flex this bike in any significant manner. And of course I can't quantify my aerodynamic "feeling" with empirical data but it felt fast as I chugged along on any of the Upstate's rolling terrain."

"Alize è il telaio di riferimento con cui il marchio NeilPryde debutta sul mercato italiano. Tramite il sistema di vendita diretta è possibile acquistare un prodotto, figlio della galleria del vento, progettato per tagliare l'aria e correre veloce. Il mezzo ama la regolarità, non i colpi di testa, e anche dopo diverse ore di utilizzo pedalare rimane un sempre un piacere"

"We're seriously impressed by this first effort. More comfortable than the Cervélo, lighter than the Ridley, better value than the Felt, it does most things well and nothing badly... The bike industry's better known names should sit up and take notice of this new competition."

"At the first attempt, NeilPryde hit the mark. For an aero frame, the Alize is very light, and very little of your effort is wasted… Lively enough to race, stable enough if you want to fit tri-bars and enter time trials or triathlons. The ride is firm but far from uncomfortable"

"A ridiculously fast ride that leapt up hills and offered super comfort over distance… We were amazed to average 21mph on our first ride, easily our quickest ever winter ride, but at a surprisingly low heart rate. We liked the positive transfer of power to the pedals, and it's surprisingly easy to maintain high cruising speed."

"The first thing you notice is how stiff the bike is. Literally, it feels like everything you put into it is given back in the form of forward movement. Get in the drops and hammer, stand up and crank, sprint and crush… doesn’t matter, it all goes into forward motion."

"My immediate impression of the Alize, garnered after just a few dozen pedal strokes, was of a very smooth and comfortable ride. The frame rather lovingly delivered me over bumps and potholes that on some frames I’ve ridden would have left me checking my fillings."

"坐上Alize,骑了几圈之后,我对Alize的第一印象是非常平稳和舒服。每次在跨过凸起物和凹坑的时候都很轻松,不像有的车架会给我一点小麻烦。每次我从市中心往山坡段骑行的时候,车子都好像安上了气垫一样舒服。"

"The NeilPryde Alize is one of two new road bikes launched by the company as famous to windsurfers as it is unknown to cyclists. But this surprise entry to the world of road bikes is an even bigger surprise by how well it’s designed, built and rides…"

"Mais le gros atout du Neilpryde Alizé, c'est l'aérodynamisme. Ca se voit au premier coup d'œil, ne serait-ce qu'avec un tuble de selle profilé en goutte d'eau. Ce vélo a été développé en soufflerie, Neilpryde mettant l'accent sur l'aérodynamisme, n'hésitant pas à comparer ses vélos avec des vélos de contre-la-montre."

"アリーズに注がれた高い技術は、ダウンヒルでも印象的で、非常に嫌らしい曲がりくねった道でも、自由自在に走り抜けることができる。バイクを真の偉大なバイクに押し上げる、言葉では言い表せない不思議な何か、には欠けているかもしれないが、もし快適性に優れながら、高い技術を注がれ、空気力学的に抜群に優れたバイクが欲しいのであれば、ニールプライド・アリーズはお薦めの1台だ."
