The "Truax" is very Norco-like with its strongly curved tubes. The four-bar linkage gives the bike 178 millimeters of travel and, with its 65.5-degree head angle and equally slack 72-degree seat angle, is clearly aimed downhill. According to Norco, however, the bike should still be easy to pedal uphill and thus sweeten the life of any freerider who wants to tackle the occasional climb. The frame has been equipped with all kinds of technical details to do justice to the intended range of use. The massive tapered head tube, the one-piece suspension linkage and the X12 standard on the rear axle provide the necessary stiffness. The rider can mount a chain guide or a Sram Hammerschmidt via the ISCG mount. The direct mount front derailleur attachment moves with the suspension, making front derailleur alignment easier.
