Summary
The Norco Range is a high-performance enduro bike designed for speed and control on rough descents, featuring a high pivot suspension design that excels in maintaining momentum and traction. While it shines in downhill performance, its climbing agility and weight are noted drawbacks. The bike's geometry and suspension are tailored for aggressive riding, offering stability and confidence in challenging terrain.
High pivot suspension design for excellent traction and control
Size-specific geometry for optimized handling
Stable and confidence-inspiring on descents
Carbon frame options for lightweight durability
Excellent downhill performance, described as 'mini-DH sled'
Heavy weight affects climbing efficiency
Not as agile in tight, technical terrain
High starting price
Pedal bob is pronounced on climbs
Some components may not match the bike's high performance potential
The Range asks a lot from you as a rider. It seems limitless in what it’s capable of.
BetaNorco set out to make the best, fastest, most-capable descender—and that’s precisely what they did.
BetaThe Norco Range is an absolute monster of a bike and one that lives for barrelling straight down the roughest, gnarliest and fastest trails you can point your stem at.
Flow Mountain BikeThe Range just eats bumps of any size and its linear kinematic nature could be compared to jumping onto an airbag versus landing on a trampoline.Pinkbike
THE RANGE TRULY SHINES WHEN POINTED DOWNHILL AND HAD US SCRATCHING OUR HEADS AT THE NEED FOR A FULL-BLOWN DOWNHILL BIKE.

The Norco Range C1 is a high-pivot downhill bike disguised as an enduro rig. What is the Canadian ripper capable of?
Stoic composure
Inspires huge amounts of confidence
Ride Aligned system offers practical advice
Robust spec
Cables rattle against the frame
Requires plenty of physical effort in technical terrain
Mar 2022 · Drew Rohde
Norco prioritized the new Range with Downhill performance and they certainly exceeded, the new Range is ready to conquer everything in its path.
Beautiful and commands attention
Aggressive stance
Stable and composed at speed
Eats up chunky terrain
Fast AF
Adjusting/removing shock is a pain
Low rocker link
Doesn’t climb great

Let’s not beat around the bush; you know it, we know it, we all know it… Everything new that Norco releases at moment is rad! Born and breed in the backwoods of the Canadian high country, Norco bikes have developed a very good reputation for delivering the absolute goods when it comes to mountain bikes and why wouldn’t they? The shredders from Norco Bikes have been at the helm of MTB since pretty much day dot. Words // Scotty Prendergast […]

A purpose-built downhill speed demon that knows what it does well and makes zero apologies for it.
Uncompromising speed and control

The Norco Range looks mighty menacing with its low-slung coil shock, raked-out geometry and High Virtual Pivot suspension design. But could this actually be too much bike? We've been testing the 170mm travel enduro beast to find out - read on for our 2022 Norco Range C2 review.
Insane level of momentum on fast and rough trails
Huge stability and confidence-inspiring handling
Quiet and effortless suspension performance
The ZEB Ultimate brings massive front-end confidence
Tough and sticky tyre combo
It's a bloody heavy bike
Struggles on tighter trails and long climbs
Soft e*13 rims
Shock rebound adjuster is impossible to access without removing the shock
Sep 2021 · Matt Beer
There aren't many bikes out there that can match the Range's appetite for rough terrain.
Suspension performance is top notch
Quiet - minimal chain slap and rattles
Low standover with short seat tube and center of gravity
Lots of hardware to keep an eye on
Cable routing is convoluted
Weight will discourage some riders
