Norco Revolver C2
Best cross country mountain bike for competitive racers seeking efficiency.
This is a rare breed that balances aggressive climbing efficiency with the composure needed for technical descents. By prioritizing a stiff, lightweight frame and a clever flex-pivot design, it sacrifices a bit of plush, bottomless travel for the speed and responsiveness that cross-country racers and backcountry explorers crave.
