Norco Range C3 29 Review

Jul 2018 · Christoph Bayer

The stand out feature of the Norco Range C3 29 immediately catches your eye: the poison green DVO Diamond fork and Topaz shock. The exotic looking suspension fits perfectly into the overall package – but how does it perform? For an overview of the test fleet head to the group test: Love at first sight […]

Norco Range A3 650b review

May 2018

The Norco Range A3 is an alloy enduro bike with strong downhill potential but it’s left wanting longer and roomier geometry to really make the most of the suspension on offer. Review: Specialized Enduro Comp 29/6Fattie Buyer's guide to mountain bike tyres - all you need to know There are a plethora of Range options available from Norco, with wheel sizes, material and prices to suit all budgets and preferences. Here at off.road.cc we like to test the cheaper end of the spectrum, hence we’ve got the bottom of the range alloy A3 with 27.5” wheels in for test, costing a not too shocking £2,200.

Norco Range A3 (2018) first ride - MBR

Apr 2018 · Mick Kirkman

Norco Range A3 is an economically viable enduro option from the Canadian big hitters. Eats up rough ground, stops confidently with good composure.

Highs
  • Smooth, silent and calm bombing downhill

Lows
  • Sluggish to accelerate, too heavy and lacklustre on flatter trails

Norco Range A3 - First Impressions Review

Feb 2018

Every time a new Norco bike comes into Flow we get a little excited! The brand just knows how to make a bike that balances new geometry and on-trail fun, after all, isn't that what you want from a bike? On review we have the entry-level Range A3, let's take a closer look.

Highs
  • Red paint job is HOT!

  • Excellent spec for the cash.

  • Mechanics will rejoice with the external cable routing.

Lows
  • Tektro brakes and Shimano shifter make for a clunky cockpit setup.

  • External cable routing is a little messy.

A supremely capable enduro smasher that could use a rim upgrade. Buy if enduro riding and racing is your lifeblood

Highs
  • Confidence-inspiring ride, top-level suspension, DT Swiss 240 hubs, stiff and responsive

Review: Norco Range C 9.2 – Built for a Beating

Jun 2017

Norco revamped their Range models with the "one bike to do it all" rider. Perfect for those that shuttle DH trails, hit the Bike Park and ride the AM trails
