Norco Search A Flat Bar

Built for riders who want versatility without compromise, this aluminum gravel platform blends modern geometry, carbon fork compliance, and dependable components to handle everything from pavement to dirt roads with confidence.

With stable handling, wide tire clearance, and a simple, durable drivetrain, it’s designed to be equally comfortable on long gravel rides, commuting, or mixed-surface adventures.

Lightweight Frame & Carbon Fork

The butted aluminum frame with smooth welds delivers a refined ride feel and long-term durability, while the carbon fork helps reduce vibration and sharp impacts from rough roads. Thru-axle spacing front and rear improves tracking and steering precision when the terrain gets loose.

Drivetrain & Braking

Shimano CUES 9-speed shifting provides reliable, easy-to-maintain performance with a wide 11–46T gear range suited for climbs, loaded riding, and rolling gravel. Hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent stopping power and control in all weather conditions.

Wheels & Tires

WTB tubeless-ready rims paired with Formula hubs create a strong, dependable wheelset for mixed terrain. Schwalbe G-One tires balance rolling efficiency with grip, making them ideal for gravel, pavement, and everything in between.
