Norco Torrent S1 HT All-Mountain Bike Green/Chrome (2021)

The Torrent S1 is an aggressive, high-speed engineered chromoly hardtail that eats hype for dinner, and lets you prove your mettle on the toughest trails. Using Norco’s holistic approach to fit and geometry, the Torrent S1’s unique combination of next generation Gravity Tune, longer reach, slacker head tube angle and steep seat tube angle provides a more forward weight distribution within a longer wheelbase. This allows more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control when descending. Paired with the butted chromoly frame, Norco spec’d the Torrent S1 with a Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain. They also gave it some real big bike credibility with a 150mm RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 fork, a burly Praxis Cadet M30 crankset, and robust Shimano M520 4-piston brakes. The Torrent’s modern features and new progressive All-Mountain design provide stable, agile descending, paired with climbing capability that would make a mountain goat jealous.
