2013 Norco Range Killer B-1

Overview

About this bike

No matter how loose the corner, how hard the ascent or how technical the line, Norco's Range Killer B-1 is always a step ahead. Its 160mm of plush, active A.R.T. rear suspension and dedicated 650B platform dismantles rowdy downhills with ruthless precision, while its lightweight hydroformed aluminum frame trims grams so you can climb back to the top for more. The 650B wheels increase traction and hold momentum like a 29er and feel quick and playful like a 26. A slack head angle makes the Range carve high-speed turns, and a Syntace 142x12 thru-axle in the rear keeps the bike stiff and planted. Dial in your ride for miles of dirt ribbons or rock gardens with 160mm of adjustable-travel from Fox's Talas fork and Float rear shock. This all-mountain rig also boasts burly Sun RinglÉ wheels with ridiculously grippy Schwalbe tires, a Shimano 2x10 drivetrain and superb Avid X0 Trail brakes. And for even more trail-shredding prowess, you get a RockShox Reverb dropper post, a dual-ring chainguide that lets you lay down the power in the chunder, and a wide bar and short stem from Race Face.
