Nervar is a French brand founded in the 1940s, specialising in cranksets and drivetrain components.

It was widely used on French racing and touring bikes in the 1950s to 1970s.

Nervar stands out for its robust, reliable and affordable cranksets, often fitted to Peugeot, Motobécane and Gitane bikes.

Faced with competition from Stronglight and foreign brands, Nervar declined from the late 1970s onwards.

Today, Nervar parts are sought after for the restoration of vintage French bicycles.
