If you want to get back to the basics, the Torrent A2 is the way to go – it’s an aggressive, high-speed chromoly hardtail that lets you prove your mettle on the toughest trails.
The Torrent A2 rages on modern trails without the need for rear suspension.
Using Norco's holistic approach to frame design, its unique combination of Gravity Tune, long reach, slack head tube angle and steep seat tube angle allows more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control.
