Expirience with the Norco Range C3

Ludwig Döhl Norco recognized the trend towards high-pivot rear triangles early on and delivered an adequate version with the Range C3 . If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Norco. In the saddle of the on very demanding single trails your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Norco Range C3 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Enduro in the same price range that are more focused on descends. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. Norco knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 6499 Euro . With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
