Singletrack, dirt roads, city parks, and remote backcountry trails Ñ are you roaming or racing? The Search C Rival XPLR is ready for your next gravel adventure. Built around a lightweight full carbon frame with NorcoÕs proprietary downtube storage, it features modern gravel geometry, a SRAM Rival AXS XPLR drivetrain, clearance for up to 50c tyres, and versatile mounting options for fenders and bags. Designed as a progressive gravel bike for both adventure riding and racing, the Search C Rival XPLR delivers a lively yet stable ride across mixed terrain. A taller head tube, slacker head angle, and longer reach provide improved control on rough roads and steep climbs, while the updated fork length adds stability and compatibility with gravel suspension forks for riders who want extra comfort. Fully guided cable routing and a threaded BSA bottom bracket make maintenance straightforward, while the frame supports modern wide-range 1x drivetrain systems and Universal Derailleur Hanger compatibility.
