The Search XR C2 is Norco’s take on a do-it-all bike, meant to excel in every discipline from gravel to commuting and bikepacking. Will this bike make the fleet in your garage redundant? Read on for all the details.
Very stable and composed
Dropper seat post
Stiff frame capable of hauling heavy loads
Numerous bosses and attachment points
Lack of agility and acceleration
Mediocre comfort
Chainring is too big for long climbs and bikepacking

Not wowed by the looks, but a lovely and plush steel and wide-tyred all-rounder
Well kitted out for all sorts of adventures, good gears and an excellent ride over poor surfaces both on and off-road
Slightly lower top gear than a road bike
Mechanical rather than hydraulic disc
