Expirience with the Norco Torrent S1 HT

Ludwig Döhl As a in alpine terrain, the Torrent S1 HT ticks all the boxes. With a 64 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. At the seating position, Norco combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 3599 Euro . With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
