While Norco is well-known for their gnarly North Shore freeride and downhill mountain bikes, they offer a full fleet of bikes for street, bmx, cruising and even have a respectable road program. While other “mountain bike manufacturers” may also have a token road bike or two, Norco has four full-carbon road bikes, three scandium cyclocross bikes, three touring bikes and two performance aluminum road bikes to go along with their expansive mountain bike lineup.
Since Norco doesn’t have a huge presence in the States, let me educate you a bit. They are one of Canada’s largest bicycle manufacturers with a full lineup of bikes in every shape and size and a full lineup of accessories and clothing under the Axiom, Mace, Adams and Bike Guard brands.
Over the years, I’ve established a strong relationship with the crew at Norco and have exposed many to the beauty of their bike designs and their cool nature as singletrack-hungry Canadians. They ride and they ride hard, but at the end of the day, the entire crew at Norco–including athletes–are down-to-earth and personable. I like that and am stoked to have a new Norco roadie in for review this year.
