If you want to get back to the basics, the Torrent A1 is the way to go – it’s an aggressive, high-speed aluminum hardtail that lets you prove your mettle on the toughest trails.
 
The Torrent A1 rages on modern trails without the need for rear suspension.
 
Using Norco's holistic approach to frame design, its unique combination of Gravity Tune, long reach, slack head tube angle and steep seat tube angle allows more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control.
 
REASONS IT'S RAD
- All the gnar, but getting back to the All-Mountain basics.
- Go fast. Maintain control.
- Burly steel and aluminum frames for strength and durability.
