Gearing

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 review

Jan 2019 · Seb Stott

Fast and efficient on smooth terrain, but those who want to push their limits-off road will soon find it limiting. Buy if you want a fast and efficient cross-country companion but aren’t into technical trails

Highs

  • Great at covering (smooth) ground

  • Simple, reliable drivetrain

  • Quality frame

Lows

  • Slippery, narrow tyres

  • Twitchy steering at speed

  • Weak brakes

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.
