Summary

The Norco Revolver is a versatile cross-country bike praised for its balanced and confident handling across varied terrain. It excels in climbing with good traction and efficiency, while its suspension provides a smooth, stable ride that inspires confidence on descents.

Pros

  • Efficient climbing with good traction

  • Stable and precise suspension performance

  • Versatile for racing and trail riding

  • Refined geometry for improved stability

Cons
  • Slightly heavier frame in some models

Tested: Norco Revolver 9.2 FS

Jan 2017

Last time I rode a short-travel full-suspension 29er was in 2006. It was a Trek from the early days of figuring out how to make the big wheels not only race fast but ride fun. The (now) dated geometry found in the high bottom bracket height, head/seat tube angles and top tube length just didn’t do the trick for me back then.
