MIRAGE SPORT

INEXTERNAL™ BRAZING:
Unlike the conventional method that only brazes frame tubes externally, Motobecane’s exclusive INEXTERNAL™ BRAZING manufacturing process brazes frame tubes internally and externally. The result is a more rigid and stronger frame.
CONVENTIONAL
INEXTERNAL

ACCU-HEIGHT™ SEAT POST BINDER:
An effortless turn of an allen wrench lets you raise, lower and safely secure your seat post without friction, thanks to Motobecane’s ACCU-HEIGHT™ adjustable seat post binder. The new seat post binder is aerodynamically designed and positioned behind the seat tube.

MAXIMUM STRENGTH REAR TRIANGLE:
Assuring a rear triangle and overall frame design with optimum weight/rigidity ratio, Motobecane double tapers its seat stays — and aerodynamically positions them behind the seat tube. The result is a stiffer rear frame triangle and tubing thickness where it counts — at the rear brake bridge mounts.

FORGED VERTICAL REAR DROPOUTS:
Motobecane’s vertical rear dropouts lets you remove or install a rear wheel without a wheel alignment adjustment.

DISTINCTIVE IN DESIGN AND RESPONSIVE IN PERFORMANCE
THE VERSATILE MIRAGE IS AN UNBEATABLE VALUE.

NOMADE I
Ideal for anyone who wants reliable, enjoyable transportation at a very modest price, NOMADE I is made to Motobecane’s exacting specifications to ensure a clean, rewarding ride. Smooth-shifting HURET ECO derailleur makes gear changes a breeze while the padded touring saddle absorbs the road’s rough spots. DIA-COMPE alloy side-pull brakes have safety levers for a good grip and a sure stop — just some of the fine components that make riding a NOMADE I sheer pleasure. Available in Royal Blue and Black.

NOMADE II
A quality lightweight that’s attractive in price as well as in styling, NOMADE II is distinguished by its superior paint finish, chrome plated fork, clean lug-work and expert brazing — clearly the influence of French design. Popular components like DIA-COMPE alloy center-pull brakes with quick release levers, MAILLARD alloy hubs with front quick release, SUN TOUR GT derailleur for crisp, accurate shifting put NOMADE II way ahead for solid handling and responsive riding. Available in Royal Blue and Champagne Gold.

Top-notch componentry and quality craftsmanship make this 12-speed an excellent choice for reliable, affordable cycling. Sophisticated French equipment includes HURET RIVAL derailleur, NORMANDY alloy hubs and MAILLARD freewheel.

MIRAGE SPORT

In the tradition of respected names — the MIRAGE legacy continues . . .
The latest in a proud lineage — the MIRAGE SPORT —
for recreation, touring or sport.

Its heritage is the frame —
■ Now made lighter, more durable through Motobecane’s exclusive process of interior and exterior fusion called INEXTERNAL™ BRAZING.
■ Seat stays are double-tapered for a stiffer rear frame triangle.
— the result is a strong and very rigid frame for a solid, responsive ride.

Its heritage is careful attention to detail —
■ Vertical rear dropouts that allow rapid removal and/or installation of the rear wheel.
■ Patented ACCU-HEIGHT™ quick adjust seat post binder aerodynamically designed and positioned behind the seat tube. Just a turn of an allen wrench permits effortless and rapid seat post adjustment.
■ Brazed-on down tube shifter bosses and bottle cage fixture bosses.

Its heritage is alloy equipment — that looks sharp, performs beautifully and keeps weight to a mere 25.7 lbs. —
■ MAILLARD ATOM SPORT hubs with quick release
■ MAILLARD RA 500 pedals
■ WEINMANN S571 rims
■ SR stem with recessed allen bolt
■ WEINMANN 501 side-pull brakes with quick release
■ MOTOBECANE-HURET RIVAL derailleur

Its heritage is attractive styling — like the rear brake cable aerodynamically routed through the top tube. Sleek and trim, the MIRAGE SPORT is available in exciting new colors like Burgundy, Silver and New Blue.
