Overview
About this bike
An endurance road bike, the Norco Valence Carbon delivers refined, long distance stability and comfort in a sleek, race-ready package. The ARC Endurance system integrated into the aluminum frame and carbon fork delivers unrivaled vibration damping, while the super stiff Power Chassis pedaling platform is the source of the bike’s punchy acceleration and a highly responsive ride feel – rewarding riders who like to get up out of the saddle. The Shimano Sora drivetrain gives you the gear range you demand to take on challenging hills, and you’re always in control on the way down with Tektro brakes for smooth, even braking. Double-wall alloy rims keep the bike lightweight and nimble, and they’re ready to go the distance on a pair of 28mm Schwalbe tires, while Norco cockpit pieces provide all-day comfort and seamless control.
