Norco Threshold A Cyclocross Bike

Description

Norco Threshold A Apex is a bike designed for cyclocross racing but would also be at home as an urban commuter or gravel bike. Ideal for the rider that is looking for the drop bar riding position but wants to explore places a conventional road bike can get to.

Based around a double butted alloy frame, the riding position is sporty but comfortable to give the rider positive control over the bike in all conditions. A carbon fork keeps the front end light whilst providing good stiffness for accurate steering.

The Sram Apex drivetrain is setup for CX but also gives the right range of gears for most peoples urban commute. The hydraulic brakes provide exceptional stopping power in all conditions, whether it be the mud of the race track or the grime of the daily grind.

The Threshold comes equipped with tyres meant for off road use, but there is enough clearance in the frame to accommodate a wide range of tyre sizes and treads to suit most riders requirements.

The Norco Threshold A Apex is an entry-level CX race bike with a few more tricks up its sleeve. An ideal bike to give racing a go, or just to rip up the urban commute with confidence to ride wherever you want, when you want.

Road Disc Brakes

Norco Bicycle Designer Terry Brown explains why disc brakes on road bikes are the future. They offer the rider better control, modulation and lever feedback, resulting in a more confident ride.

ARC Race

Applied Road Compliance (ARC) technology optimizes the vertical compliance to lateral rigidity ratio for race and endurance applications. ARC Race seat stays are slender and feature a less pronounced bow shape that still delivers effective road vibration dampening. Chain stays are broad and extremely stiff to deliver maximum pedaling efficiency, and they are engineered to be slightly shorter to deliver a highly responsive ride experience.

Power Chassis

The Power Chassis is a complete pedaling platform designed to convert energy from a rider's whole body into forward momentum. A tapered head tube, an oversized hydroformed down tube, an oversized super-stiff bottom bracket shell, and an especially broad set of chain stays, conduct energy directly from cranks through to the back wheel where they are converted into forward thrust.

GIZMO

Our GIZMO internal cable routing system keeps out water and debris, prevents any rattling, and allows for easy setup and maintenance.
