Norco Shore A1 Complete Mountain Bike 2022

Enduro

If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Downhill

For bike park days and shuttle laps, there’s nothing like a downhill (DH) bike. Designed to tackle the roughest trails at high speeds, these bikes have long suspension travel (typically 170mm+), huge brakes, and unreal descending capabilities. DH bikes are not as suitable for tight trails or climbing.

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Aluminum is the second lightest material per cubic inch, after carbon, but it is significantly more affordable. It offers versatility, strength, and durability that works well in all trail disciplines.

The Fox 38 is the hard hitting, long-travel enduro specialist. When you need to go really big, reach for the 38. Optimized for 160 - 180mm of travel and packing the same revolutionary feature set as the Fox 36, the 38 redefines what you think a long travel single crown fork is capable of, and sets a new benchmark for confidence, performance and durability.

"Factory" says it all — feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of Factory-level riders. What we sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.

Nothing sticks to the ground quite like a coil shock. The DHX2 takes that sensation and buttresses it with sophisticated progressive damping, a massive overall tuning range, and super low-friction internals in order to capitalize on the full race-spec magic carpet experience.

With intuitive thumb actuated triggers, the GX Eagle shifter's positive feel gives the rider input to make shifts crisp and discernible every time. Its legendary reliability continues for all-day epics and all-time experiences, with an aluminum trigger ready for inevitable punishment and MatchMaker X compatibility.

The GX Eagle derailleur gets it done with an updated cage architecture that improves chain management. Refined to work with the new 10-52t cassettes, it’s also backwards compatible for the 10-50t versions.

Some riders test their limits more than others. For these riders, the GX Eagle crankset allows them to go all in, every day they ride. The best aluminum crankset we make, engineered to deliver consistent performance every ride. Featuring our X-SYNC 2 tooth profile chainring for complete chain control. Each tooth's thickness is toleranced and controlled to work seamlessly with the chain's inner and outer links. Simply put, the forged aluminum GX Eagle crankset is the no frills choice of riders who know.

FEATURES

• SRAM's best aluminum crankset.
• Direct mount interface compatible with chainrings across the entire Eagle Ecosystem.
• Signature GX colorway as part of Eagle Colorsystem – pairs with all cassettes and chains, from Black to Gold to Rainbow to HardChrome and all-new Copper.

The new 10-52 Eagle cassette for riders who prioritize all day function over anything else. With an expanded, 520-percent gear range giving riders more ability to spin and recover on the burliest climbs. Featuring FULL PIN technology that uses lightweight, precision engineered steel cogs permanently connected with high-strength stainless steel pins. An open design similar to our X-DOME cassette that aids in mud clearance, giving riders crisp shifting performance and longer component life.

FEATURES

• 520-percent gear range utilizing the industry standard XD hub driver.
• Light and strong FULL PIN technology similar to X-DOME bringing true 1x gear range to more riders and builds.
• Lunar and black colorway makes the XG-1275 cassette right at home on any build.

Meet the new standard for hard-hitting, heavy-duty braking. SRAM added 15% extra piston power and 30% more volume in the lever reservoir, ensuring peak performance for the full run. And with SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearing technologies, lever feel remains smooth and progressive, no matter how hard the pull. Go deeper and grab more power.

Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.
• DoubleDown (DD): Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing combined with a butyl sidewall insert creates a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire.
