This is what happens when you type "search bikes" into the search bar, people: a bike that can go anywhere. The Norco Search XR S2 Complete Bike is at home on mobius strips, wormholes, and the faintest of dotted lines on your gigantic GPS watch. A carbon fork on a steel frame has always been a great combo, and when you slap on hydraulic disc brakes and a 2x10 gravel drivetrain on it, watch out. This is a commuter bike for people who quit their jobs on the way to work: there probably isn't a bike on the planet that can shine on so many routes. Plan for no plan, this bike is all spontaneous trailblazing all the time!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
