CONCORD NEO // THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. Unique in every sense: the CONCORD CARBON EDITION. This exceptional edition is the realisation of CONCORD’s ambitious vision: the ultimate TRAVEL SYSTEM. At the heart of the edition is the CONCORD NEO CARBON buggy, the peerless synthesis of innovative technology, purist design and superlative materials. The frame is crafted from high grade carbon. This exclusive material originally stems from space and air travel and is still used today in situations where materials are subjected to the highest demands such as motor racing and cycling. In other words, where performance is all. Now, for the first time, this advanced und extremely light material is used to great effect in a buggy, the CONCORD NEO CARBON. Uniquely elegant, it guarantees admiring glances when it takes to the city street. It comprises nothing but the best – and that applies equally to the equipment that goes with it. Due to the special nature of the sophisticated material, each CONCORD NEO CARBON buggy is individually handcrafted. In addition, each model is a unique unit, an individually styled buggy with different equipment and personalising options. Created with a passion for perfection. The CONCORD CARBON EDITION.

// INDIVIDUALLY MANUFACTURED PIECE BY PIECE.
Carbon is exclusive for one simple reason: this exceptionally highgrade material is entirely unsuitable for mass production. The manufacture and processing of carbon fibre is very expensive and highly demanding in terms of hand crafting. A carbon fibre is about 5 to 8 micrometres in diameter, in other words 5 to 8 millionths of a metre. Usually between 1,000 and 24,000 such carbon fibres are bound together, wound onto spools and processed to create a type of textile. The carbon textile is additionally reinforced by resin before being shaped and cured at high temperature. The CONCORD NEO CARBON frame is crafted and assembled exclusively at our factory in Stadtsteinach, Germany. In this way we can guarantee the perfect quality of the workmanship at all times. As a special quality mark each buggy carries it own consecutively numbered serial number.

SPECIAL
// EVERY BUGGY IS A UNIQUE UNIT.
The CONCORD NEO CARBON epitomises exclusivity, not only in terms of the special material from which it is made but also in terms of the individual way in which it is equipped. Each model is an unmistakeably unique unit. There is a wide choice of fittings for you to create a buggy that is customised entirely to your wishes. The inner linings, made of the finest fulled merino wool – an exceptionally high-quality, hard-wearing natural material – are available in two plush designs. Choose the leather handles to match the colour of your choice. The tyres are also offered in two versions: comfortable, air-cushioned tubed tyres or light, robust solid foam tyres. In addition, you might opt to customise your buggy by having it engraved with a name or initials. The quality of manufacture can be traced at all times thanks to the laser-engraved, consecutively numbered serial number on the buggy frame.
