The Search Alloy is a progressive, modern gravel bike that's ready for whatever you point it at - dirt roads, singletrack, bike paths or a multi-day bikepacking trip. Norco redesigned it from the ground up to be lighter, with optimised sizing and geometry, plus all the mounts and tyre clearance you need for real adventures.
The Search A1 is the top alloy build, with SRAM Apex XPLR 1x 12-speed and SRAM Apex hydraulic brakes. 1x means simpler shifting and a wide 11-44T range for the climbs - ideal for mixed-surface adventures. Come and see it at Jetty Road Cycles in Rosebud - the team will help you nail the sizing and setup before you roll out the door.
