The alloy frame won’t win any design awards, but it’s sturdy as an ox.įrom a geometry standpoint, this frame is exceptional. With an internally-mounted rear brake, quick-release 12x142mm rear axle, external cabling and routing for stealth dropper posts, the Torrent truly is the best combination of functionality and durability. With a hydroformed aluminium frame, Norco have been able to create funky lines and shapes that are not winning awards for aesthetics, but are guaranteed to survive forever. Get ready to do things a hard tail shouldn’t be willing to try!
For 2016, Norco have reinvigorated this legacy in the best way possible, utilising the new 27.5+ format running whopping 3.0″ tyres to create a hardtail that’ll baulk at nothing.
Originally a staple in the Hardtail Category of your local DH races, the early versions of the Norco Torrent were a do-it-all bike, built to survive everything you could throw at it. This is a bike every mountain biker will enjoy and appreciate. Why? Huge amounts of grip, slack and incredibly comfortable geometry and a spot-on stock build. We aren’t joking, this hardtail is a serious trail bike. 3.0" tyres are not at home on smooth terrain or high speed berms at low pressures.
