Progressive Modern Gravel
Search C Force XPLR: Singletrack, dirt roads, city parks, even the most remote backcountry trails – are you roaming or racing? The Search C Force XPLR is ready for your next gravel adventure with modern gravel geometry, a lightweight full carbon frame featuring Norco's proprietary downtube storage, SRAM Force AXS XPLR drivetrain, tire clearance up to 50c, and full-coverage fender and toptube bag mounts.
Search C Force XPLR features new-school gravel geometry fit for a fast, lively, confident ride on any terrain. With a taller headtube, slacker head angle, and longer reach, it's more stable on rough terrain and ready to tackle steeper grades with ease.
The updated, longer fork adds stability and the new geometry is compatible with suspension forks if you want to add some extra cushion. The frame is UDH compatible and supports fitments for all the latest wide range 1x drivetrain technologies.
SRAM Force AXS XPLR provides wireless electronic shifting with a massive 10-46T cassette range - 460% gear range for everything from steep climbs to flat road sections. Fully guided cable routing and a fully threaded BSA bottom bracket make maintenance a breeze.
