Norco 2018 Search XR gravel bike review: carbon versus steel - CyclingTips

avr. 2018 · Matt Wikstrom

Norco has been in the bike business for over fifty years, however there are some markets that are still unfamiliar with the brand despite the extensive catalogue of offerings and wide range of appeal. But if Norco has a strength, then it surely lies with its off-road bikes. The Search XR is Norco’s new gravel […]

Norco Search XR Carbon Ultegra Review

févr. 2018

We review the 2018 Norco Search XR Carbon Ultegra, the latest gravel weapon from Norco. With sleek looks that disguise its abilities as a multi-day adventure machine, we were very impressed by its versatility, practicality and finish. Read the full review.

Points forts
  • A good looking adventure sled.

  • Confident, stable handling without feeling dull.

  • Plenty of tyre clearance.

  • Great spec at a good price.

Points faibles
  • Our butt and the Norco's saddle were at war.

Norco Search XR Carbon Review, Force 1

janv. 2018 · Miles Arbour

We took the Norco Search XR Carbon on rugged desert tracks and beyond to see what a top-of-the-line ‘adventure-road’ bike can do. Here's the review...

Points faibles
  • PF86 Press-fit bottom brackets will likely be a gripe for many people interested in this bike, but we had no problems.

  • 3 bolt anything cage mount in the main triangle is of little use due to the small triangle, would have been nice to see those on the downtube.

  • Gearing might be a little high for some loaded up for bikepacking, so a chainring swap or cassette expander may be needed.

  • Dropper post is slightly awkward to use with the longer, stock stem.

  • Not cheap. Although I do think you get what you pay for, and that includes a drop-bar bike capable of taking on most types of terrain right out of the box. Check out the XR Steel and XR Carbon Apex models for cheaper alternatives.

  • A bit sluggish on pavement without pumping up to a higher pressure, as expected for 650b x 2.1” tires.

As well as riding this bike for my short but sharp daily commute through the centre of Bristol, I’ve taken it on a few longer road rides too and even had a stab at some local mountain bike trails. . .
