Norco launches new bikes for fast legs

The Canadian cult brand Norco is bringing two interesting models to the starting line with the "Revolver" and the "Threshold". The former is a full-suspension cross-country bike, while the "Threshold" is a cross bike, or in Swiss terms: a Quervelo.

With Norco's Revolver, the name says it all: the twentyniner bike with 100 millimetres of suspension travel, or 110 millimetres for the 27.5-inch version, is a thoroughbred racing machine. During development, the designers had both stiffness and weight in mind. The Gravity Tune geometry ensures stability on descents. The race bike feels right at home on cross-country trails thanks to the ART suspension system specially designed for such courses. The black/orange look of the Revolver X.1 is also aggressive, as is the black/blue look of the X.2 version. The brand new Revolver was recently used successfully by the Traildevils Racing Team at the Perskindol Swiss Epic.

The Revolver 7.2 FS Carbon: compact, tidy and sleek, but equipped with Shimano XT and DT Swiss wheels for the Swiss market.

The Threshold cross racing machine from the Norco range was developed and designed on Canada's Pacific coast. Norco sees the completely newly developed Threshold as a dedication to the Canadian cross bike tradition. The Threshold "Carbon Rival" comes in the color combination black/light green. It is equipped with components from SRAM and their hydraulic disc brakes.

Tubular tires, disc brakes, a bulky yet lightweight carbon frame designed for electronic shifting: The Threshold has everything a modern cross bike needs.

In addition to the Threshold, Norco is also launching the Search: a gravel road racing bike that is designed for versatility and extends the terrain after the asphalt road. The Search is available in a Shimano-Ultegra and 105 version, both of which come in carbon.

Half road bike, half cross bike: As a bike in the gravel racer category, the Search stands for comfort and riding fun.

Model maintenance for the current bikes
Norco has given the agile all-mountain bike "Sight" and the successful "Range" ten millimetres more travel at the front, so that the Sight now comes with 140/150 millimetres and the Range with 160/170 millimetres. The equipment is better and both bikes have new color accents.

The two tried-and-tested models Sight and Range with a new look.

Following the great success of the full-suspension kids' bike "Fluid 24" with 100 millimetres of travel, Norco is expanding its range with a "Fluid 20" with 80 millimetres and a 26-inch Fluid Fully with 120 millimetres of travel for kids and teenagers. Thanks to the air suspension fork and air shock, the Fluid can be perfectly adapted to the respective weight. Most parents will hardly notice the bright yellow and black look when their kids whizz ahead.

Norco is gradually paying more attention to the kids. The Fluid-24 is now followed by a 20-inch and a 26-inch model.

The Aurum was developed in close collaboration with the Norco Factory Racing Team. The Canadian manufacturer's design team is now presenting this state-of-the-art racing machine. Following the carbon version, the more affordable aluminum version of the Aurum is now also coming onto the market in 2016.
