Norco created the Aurum A1 to be the fastest downhill mountain bike available to the public. It is built with the same concepts and designs as their World Cup level bikes, engineered in collaboration with the Norco Factory Racing Team to give you every possible edge on every descent. World class brilliance starts with an incredibly tough and lightweight aluminium frame with an improved stiffness to weight ratio and vibration damping for optimised downhill performance.

To descend with speed you need to be able to handle the bumps well, and Norco’s Suspension system is the secret to the Aurum’s success, optimising the incredible 200mm travel RockShox Boxxer Select fork and Fox Performance Vanilla LSC Rear shock so that they deliver world-class performance and reliability.  When you’re flying downhill you will remain in complete control thanks to the SRAM Code R 4 Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes with 200mm rotors, ensuring that you can ride with confidence while you’re rolling downhill on the e*thirteen LG1 DH rims with the fast Maxxis Assegai Tyres.

The Norco Aurum A1 downhill mountain bike is a great example of Norco putting pro level design and technology into a bike that you can take home and crush your local downhill races or training rides. This bike is unbelievably fast and if you want the best in downhill mountain bikes, then look no further than this rugged creation from Norco.

Features

Lightweight and Durable Aluminium Frame: DH machines are some of the most routinely abused bikes in the bike world. The premium 6061-T6 aluminum frame is built to take this punishment and comes with strategic frame armour for protection from rocks and trail mishaps. Integrated fork bump stops, fender and shuttle guards ensure practical, everyday protection. Featuring size scaled tubing, the frame maintains the same stiffness and ride quality across frame sizes, providing you the handling characteristics we intended for, no matter what size you are.

Gravity Tune: To ensure riders of all sizes achieve an optimal weight distribution, the rear centre length of each frame size increases proportionately to the front centre length. This gives all riders the ability to maintain a centered body position resulting in predictable grip as well as improved handling, stability and control.

Optomised Suspension: 200 mm of front and rear travel deliver highly capable suspension performance for greater confidence and control on rough terrain. Supportive mid-stroke helps you push into lips and pop off jumps and a progressive suspension curve prevents bottom outs in flat landings. The Aurum Aluminum is the perfect choice for both bike park and rough, high-speed terrain.
