The Norco Search Carbon defines what a great gravel bike should be. It feels like a race bike — stiff and responsive — but it’s incredibly comfortable

A go-anywhere bike that's great for 'accidentally' getting lost in the wilds

Norco Search Ultegra/105 review

Nov 2015 · Oli Woodman

Superb on road comfort and handling but you won't want to venture too deep into the rough stuff. Buy if you'll be spending most of the time on tarmac with the occasional off-piste excursion

Highs
  • Exemplary road manners, powerful and well modulated braking

Lows
  • You need to set up tubeless to realise its off-road capability, rather harsh front end

Mountain Flyer
In Search of Dirt on Norco’s Sight Carbon 7.1

Feb 2014

The 140mm travel, Sight 7.1 trail bike from Norco showed up at our Gunnison office at the end of January—Just in time for a record winter storm to hit the area leaving over seven feet of powder in Crested Butte in just ten days. Productivity in the office dropped to an all time low that week and much powder was harvested.
