Summary

The Norco Range is a standout enduro bike, praised for its excellent climbing efficiency and superior descending capabilities. Its stout frame and slack head angle inspire confidence on technical trails, while the progressive suspension setup handles square edge hits with ease. The bike's neutral rider position and dynamic handling encourage aggressive riding, making it a favorite for tight, technical terrain.

Pros
  • Excellent climbing ability with minimal bobbing

  • Superior descending performance with a confident rider position

  • Progressive suspension setup handles square edge hits well

  • Neutral rider position inspires confidence in jumps and turns

  • Dynamic feeling and extra grip for aggressive cornering

Cons
  • Small-bump compliance and traction sacrificed for efficiency

  • Heavily machined cranks show flex

  • Lack of internal routing for seatpost

First Impressions: Norco’s New All Mountain Ripper, The 650B Range

Aug 2012 · Saris Mercanti

The newest re-re-invention of the bicycle wheel, the 650B, is a classic retelling of the story of Goldilocks. Like the heroine in the memorable folktale, mountain bikers  are always searching for that something better. For those of us with big paws (and large lycra collections), only papa bears big wheels will do, and for those …
