Review: Norco Aurum HSP1 29"

Aug 2018 · Paul Aston

The Aurum HSP is a incredible, high-performance machine that's built for speed.

Highs
  • Beautiful finish and attention to detail

  • Intelligent sizing and carbon tune for front and rear triangles

Lows
  • Slightly harsh feeling from the frame

  • It's not overpriced, but it is expensive

  • Available in limited numbers and not in every territory
