Norco Range C2
Dedication to the ride has got you here. You push harder. Aim higher. And it keeps getting tougher to break through to the next level.
All it takes is one bike. This bike.
Pinkbike’s 2021 Mountain Bike of the Year.
Why the range?
Making the new Range this fast took every ounce of innovation and imagination we had, so we’re pretty damn stoked that the editors at Pinkbike feel the same way we do about it!
The Range’s High Virtual Pivot suspension design isolates you from wheel movement with a rearward axle path, refined kinematics and a custom tuned Fox DHX2 Factory Coil shock while minimizing the effect of braking forces.
With minimal variance in the distance from the front tire's contact patch to the rider's centre of gravity through every size, Range makes speed easy over the most demanding Enduro courses and Big Mountain terrain.
The High Virtual Pivot suspension efficiently-transmits drivetrain energy and provides a stable platform when pedaling by controlling anti-squat under power with a deliberately-positioned idler.
High-speed stability and agility are achieved by positioning the suspension components low in the frame, and minimized un-sprung mass ensures sensitive, consistent suspension action.
Norco’s exclusive Ride Aligned™ Design System matches each Range to the human who rides it. Rider-first geometry and suspension kinematics combine with custom fit and suspension tuning using the Ride Aligned™ Setup Guide to provide unparalleled, personalized performance from day one.
Reviews
“Norco didn't make any concessions in their quest to make the Range an absolute gravity fiend, and those efforts paid off.”
