Expirience with the Norco Torrent A2 HT

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding in alpine terrain, the Norco is an absolute banger. The flat 64 degree head tube angle of the All Mountain von Norco gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. When entering the saddle, the Norco Torrent A2 HT conveys a balanced seating position. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
