Description
Capability starts with the the X6 aluminium frame with internal cable routing and a geometry that balances off-road performance with comfort thanks to a longer and slacker design. The thinned seat tube and top tube, bent chain stays and optimised fork ensures maximum comfort which will help reduce fatigue so that you can get the most out of every ride. Everything just clicks with this bike to create a versatile ride, with a mid-modulus carbon fork, front & rear thru-axles, BB shell, oversize downtube and chainstays for lateral stiffness which ensures maximum power transfer and control on rough surfaces.
The Search XR A2 is equipped with a 2x10 speed Shimano GRX drivetrain which gives you crisp and reliable shifting on every surface. Matched with TektroMD-C550 Dual-Piston Mechanical Disc Brakes for a good level of control which is serviceable on the gravel. The WTB ST i23 2.0 Rims are light and durable so you can push your limits off-road. The finishing touch is the Selle Royal Vivo Saddle which combines comfort and performance concepts for the ultimate ride. If you like the sound of the XR A2 but want a bout more, step up to the Norco Search XR A1 and you get much better Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes instead of mechanical, as well as an all around better 2x11 GRX gravel specifc drivetrain which really Does impress.
The Norco Search XR A2 Gravel Bike is loaded for adventure from day one with an inspired design with capable spec for fun on every surface.
Features
Search Alloy Frame: Smooth welded, lightweight aluminium frame creates a robust, elegant looking adventure rig. Bent chain stays, thinned seat tube and top tube, and optimized fork designs maximize comfort and reduce rider fatigue.
Built for Adventure: Designed to excel on rougher surfaces, Search XR geometry is a little slacker and longer than conventional road bikes for a confident ride.
Versatility & Power Transfer: Front and rear thru-axles, oversized downtube, BB shell and chainstays deliver lateral stiffness for maximum power transfer and control over rough terrain.
Internal Routing: Internal cable routing with adaptable port covers keeps cables tight and secure and prevents water from entering the frame. The Search XR is also compatible with a wide range of configurations such as 1x or 2x drivetrains.
Multiple Configurations: The Search XR aluminium models are spec’d with flared drop bars, with an available a flat bar model, and the Search XR Suspension features a 50mm gravel-specific SR Suntour suspension fork.
Tyre Clearance: Generous tyre 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 tyres provide more comfort and control on paved surfaces, and greater traction on off-road or gravel excursions. See Geo Chart for tyre clearance details.
