The Torrent DH A1 is built for riders who live for chairlift days, shuttle laps and the moment you drop into a trail that pushes back. It's 200mm of no-fluff, low-faff downhill bike: a tough aluminium frame, size-specific geometry designed around a dual crown fork, and a mixed wheel setup that keeps it planted when you're going fast but playful when you want to throw it around.
Norco's VPS suspension stays calm and composed under heavy braking and repeated hits, while full external cable routing and oversized bearings keep servicing simple, which we love in the workshop. The A1 build runs a RockShox BoXXer Select fork, Vivid Air shock, SRAM GX DH 7-speed and SRAM Maven brakes on 200mm rotors - a properly capable park bike that's ready for Thredbo, Buller or your local shuttle run. Drop into Jetty Road Cycles in Rosebud to check one out in person, and our workshop will make sure it's dialled for you.
