Norco launches Revolver 120 XC bike
The new Revolver from Norco is claimed to be the lightest full-suspension frame the Canadian brand has ever built, while still boasting a list of interesting features. Weighing just over 4 lbs (1.9 kg), including shock, the Revolver frame shaves weight by using a flex stay suspension design like other capable XC bikes in the segment, such as the Ari Signal Peak or Cannondale Scalpel 2 recently reviewed by Escape.
With 120 mm of front travel and 115 mm in the rear, Norco has designed the Revolver with size-specific geometry and carbon layup for a "top-of-class ride feel" across each of the five available sizes for riders between 5'1" and 6'6" (150-200 cm). And, yes, the Revolver can fit two water bottles in its front triangle. Framesets cost $US3,500 and full builds range from US$5,250 to $11,500.
