Izcelsme
Norco introduced the Search XR in 2016 as a genuine bikepacking machine — a drop-bar bike that could run 27.5" MTB tyres instead of gravel rubber. The design came from Norco's experience building mountain bikes, resulting in a chassis engineered for rough surfaces, multi-day loads, and tyre flexibility unmatched by conventional gravel bikes.
