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.

A hard-charging, speedy, controlled monster on the downs, that can be pedalled to the trailhead time and time again

Impeccable descending geometry
Very comfortable climber

Price
Suspension bob might frustrate some
Nov 2022
As a whole, the Range is decidedly a downhill-focused machine, with an emphasis on speed and composure over the roughest tracks out there.
All-out speed
Smooth ride over rough trails
Excellent traction
Extends rider comfort and confidence
Confident on the gnarliest terrain
Not for everyone
Lengthening rear end on slow drops
Handlebar spec
Not the best climber

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 […]

It was interesting choosing lines that would normally have me bucking around like I was in a rodeo.

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

Climbing agility

We tested the new Range C3 2022 for you! Is Norco’s high pivot enduro bruiser a mini downhill rig in disguise?
Inspires lots of security on steep terrain
Excellent composure and plush rear suspension
Plenty of freedom of movement
Spec doesn't do justice to the potential of the bike
Sluggish on narrow and slow trails
Dec 2021
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
Sept 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
