The Norco Search XR S1 Complete Bike is as rugged as a rigid bike can get. This steel framed adventure rig comes standard with big knobby tires, a dropper post, and a gravel specific component set. Plus, it has attachment points for you to really kit it out into a full on backcountry monster. With its lightweight, powerful pedaling design, it works great as a ride-around-town daily commuter type bike, but it really comes alive on long slogs down old logging roads and skyline tours of forgotten, unpaved ridges.
Steel Frame, Carbon Fork – Heat-treated, back-tempered Reynolds 725 chromoly steel features thinner tubes to reduce weight and retain strength. Curved seat stay tubing enhances the material’s comfort, while the carbon fork reduces road vibrations up front for a lively, comfortable ride.
External Cable Routing – External cable housing with cable guides along the downtube ensures easy and quick serviceability. The option to run 1x gearing creates an even cleaner look.
Tire Clearance – Generous tire clearance lets you customize your Search XR to the type of ride that best suits you, or the ride your planning on any given day. Larger tires provide more comfort and control on paved surfaces, and greater traction on off-road or gravel excursions.
Accessory Mounts – Multiple bottle cage mounts on the frame and fork, custom low key fender eyelets and stealth rack mounts expand the Search XR’s versatility without sacrificing strength, lightweight or design.
Shimano GRX – Shimano GRX, with its gravel specific ergonomics, optimized gearing options, rugged reliability, and quiet and stable drivetrain, sets itself apart from the rest of the component world. It isn’t a reworked set of road components. It represents a ground up look at how cyclists want to explore their world. Shimano GRX helps you eliminate excuses, instead urging you to try that rough sidetrack or ride that little bit longer. It offers you the option to Explore Beyond.
Shimano GRX Hydraulic Disc Brakes – With a low-profile Flat Mount design, the Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes provide greater control for mixed terrain riding.
WTB Resolute – Resolute 42 is the ultimate all-weather gravel tire for those who believe there is one perfect tread pattern for all your rides. Truly all-season in nature, this is a set-it-and-forget-it tire that keeps on keepin’ on.
X-Fusion Manic Gravel 50mm Dropper Seatpost – The Manic elects for a simpler design. Inside you’ll find a closed cartridge that is both sealed and designed to be easily removable from the rest of the post. Simple construction aside, the action of this new post feels super-dooper smooth, and far silkier than any dropper.
