For This Bike
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
Great at covering (smooth) ground
Simple, reliable drivetrain
Quality frame
Slippery, narrow tyres
Twitchy steering at speed
Weak brakes

When we unboxed the Norco Charger 2 we thought it was a commuter bike, due to the skinny 2.1in WTB Nineline tyres.
Great sizing, quick rolling, excellent finish.
Skinny tyres offer poor grip in loose and loam.
