A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Norco Charger 2 (2018) review - MBR

Jul 2018 · Alan Muldoon

When we unboxed the Norco Charger 2 we thought it was a commuter bike, due to the skinny 2.1in WTB Nineline tyres.

Highs
  • Great sizing, quick rolling, excellent finish.

Lows
  • Skinny tyres offer poor grip in loose and loam.

Norco Charger 7.1 review

Jun 2015 · Seb Rogers

It may not have race-winning pedigree, but the Charger 7.1 is a superb trail all-rounder at a low price

Apr 2025 · Rob Kaiser

This is plenty of bike for the casual mountain biker. The SRAM 1x11 NX drivetrain is good, the SR Suntour crankset is pretty good, the stock Rock Shox

Highs
  • Good frame quality, good fork, good drivetrain and brakes.

Lows
  • Definitely an XC oriented bike.
