Bike overviewOne of two bikes in Norco’s 2013 lineup to feature the new 650B wheel size, the new Range Killer B is sure to create a lot of buzz this year. As versatile as the riders it was designed for, the Range Killer B absolutely shines on ups, downs and everything else in between. The bike features 650B-specific geometry, engineered to emphasize all of the benefits of the larger wheel size. The Range’s 650B wheels improve ride characteristics for both climbing and descending by increasing traction and enabling the bike to float over rocks, roots and other trail obstacles. Featuring 160mm of A.R.T. suspension and Norco’s revolutionary Gravity Tune technology, the Range Killer B might end up being the only bike you ever take out of the garage.

Intended useAll mountain riding is all about freedom. It’s about the freedom to explore – to go anywhere and ride anything – the thrill of heading deep into the wilderness on an unfamiliar trail. The Range Killer B is designed to be a catalyst for your wildest adventures; it’s a bike that is fun to ride no matter what the trail throws your way. Fire road climbs, tight switchbacks, rolling, flowy singletrack, gnarly rock gardens, twisted off-camber roots, steeps, rock faces, ledges, drop-offs... If this sounds like a grocery list for your perfect day on a bike, then the Range Killer B is for you.

Bike storyIf the 2012 Norco Range set a new standard within the all mountain category, the 2013 Range Killer B smashes that category to pieces. Featuring the game-changing 650B wheel size, the 2013 model is a ground-up redesign that will deliver the ultimate all mountain riding experience. Though it is clearly descended from the 2012 model, the 2013 Range Killer B is an entirely new beast. Purpose-built for the type of aggressive rider who pushes a bike to its limits and then pushes a little more, this is a platform for those relentless types who ride faster and charge harder than most.

For 2013, Norco’s engineers grabbed the bull by the horns and embraced the new 650B wheel size. 650B wheels offer riders the best of both worlds: they match the acceleration, maneuverability and handling characteristics of a 26” while providing the speed and rollover capability of a 29”. Redesigned around the larger wheel, the Range Killer B’s frame geometry and suspension kinematics are optimized to accentuate all of the positive characteristics that make the 650B perfect for all mountain riding.

The Range’s state-of-the-art alloy frame is engineered to be slightly more robust where it counts, so the bike can withstand the kind of trail punishment it was designed for. Components are spec’d to match the Range’s new, more aggressive demeanor. The 2x10 taco style rock bashguard comes stock, because we know you’re going to need it.

The Range Killer B features Norco’s proprietary Gravity Tune technology, which was developed for our DH race platform, the Aurum. Gravity Tune fixes the rear-centre/front-centre ratio across all frame sizes, enabling riders big and small to experience ideal body positioning and the same perfectly balanced ride. We brought the technology to our all mountain platform to ensure optimal weight distribution, exceptional handling and superior ride characteristics for all.

With 160mm of A.R.T. suspension, short chain stays, hydroformed tubing, slack geometry, low standover and a Syntace 142x12 axle system, the 2013 Range Killer B is destined to further stretch the limits of what an all mountain bike can do. The Range Killer B can handle just about anything a trail has to offer. The question is: can you handle it?

KILLER B - 3


Bike overviewThe Norco Shinobi is a highly capable, exceptionally versatile 29er that prefers the backcountry to the beaten path. The bike is designed to give riders the flexibility to link up trails however they want: hang with the climbers in the cross-country 29er crowd and charge with the gravity junkies in the all mountain crowd – all in the same day. The benefits of 29” wheels are accentuated by Norco’s A.R.T. suspension system, which makes the Shinobi both a super-efficient pedaling platform and an extremely capable rig for all mountain-style descents. The 2013 Shinobi features revised geometry: shorter top tube, slightly taller bottom bracket and better stand over on the smaller frame sizes. It might just offer the most fun available in a 29er platform.

Intended useThe Shinobi is inspired by those whose epic rides take them far out into the backcountry, away from the crowds and the well worn, familiar trails. It is a new kind of bike for a new kind of rider: the type whose favourite black diamond descents are often preceded by long, grueling climbs. The Shinobi is designed to do both equally well. The shallow angle of attack that makes 29” wheels so effective at clearing obstacles on the way up also enables them to float over rough stuff on the way down. Throw in 120mm of A.R.T. suspension and a 140mm fork and you have the perfect weapon for the varied terrain that makes up a day of all mountain riding: technical climbs, rolling singletrack, rooty, rocky terrain, ledges and moderate drops – all are fair game. The versatile Shinobi gives you the freedom to make your own way. When we say ALL mountain, we mean it.


NORCO 5 Point System

1: Custom formed and butted alloy frame with hydroformed down tube: strong and light; excellent stand-over clearance for a 29er

2: 29er wheels: faster, more traction and better rollover for aggressive AM riding

3: 2X-specific chain guides: prevents chain dropping/wear and tear on components

4:A.R.T. suspension optimized for all-mountain riding: riders can fully enjoy both the climbing and descending benefits of 29er wheels

5: Post-mount disc brakes: lighter, stronger and less noise
