We aren’t joking, this hardtail is a serious trail bike. Why? Huge amounts of grip, slack and incredibly comfortable geometry and a spot-on stock build. This is a bike every mountain biker will enjoy and appreciate. Originally a staple in the Hardtail Category of your local DH races, the early versions of the Norco Torrent were …
Climb anything, descend anything.
Grips under pressure like a hardtail shouldn't be able to.
The perfect modern hardtail do-it-all geometry.
Componentry build on point.
3.0" tyres are not at home on smooth terrain or high speed berms at low pressures.
Tyres desensitise you to the trail.
Grips are flimsy and twist easily.

Lazy feel won’t suit everyone, but an outrageously capable, chaos proof package at a cracking price. Buy if you want an infectious, outrageous juggernaut of a bike, and don't mind grunting your way up hills to reap its rewards
Big bar, fat rubber, forgiving frame and stable handling allow daredevil descending
Outrageous grip at low pressures
Impressive parts package for the price
Feels far more draggy, soft and slow than it actually is
Lazy steering/tyre scrub at low speeds
