01
Origin
Norco developed the Charger to give young riders access to real mountain bike specifications rather than toy-quality components that make learning harder and less safe. The Charger's use of hydraulic disc brakes with short-reach levers is particularly notable — most kids' bikes at its price use mechanical or V-brakes that demand more hand strength.
