$2006.00 | | Purchased At: | Cyclepath on Broadway | | Strengths: | low slung for clearance, slack head angle for stability, 150X12mm rear dropout spacing for rear wheel strength, 66VF2 with ETA help the climbs, killer price for killer parts and frame. | | Weaknesses: | this review is for the 2006 model, and it represents the pinnacle of hardtail design ever. and norco changed the design for 2007 - what were they thinking? | | Similar Products Used: | Chromag, Norco 4hun | | Bike Setup: | stock with Saint cranks, saint RD. new pedals after the stock ones died. | | Bottom Line: | this is the ultimate in hardtail design, and not just for pure freeride applications. the slack head angle leads out the bike nicely and soaks up the sag in the 6 inch fork, so you end up riding at about 67 - 68degrees or so, instead of sagging past the design point like EVERY OTHER FREAKIN' HARDTAIL OUT THERE! it's stiff and responsive, so while the 38lb weight won't win any medals, for joe bruiser it has the snap to get you through the climbs and tough sections and come out laughing on the other side.
Norco, please oh please make your hardtails with this geometry again! don't fall for the siren song of "the standard freeride hardtail geometry" that you have adopted this year. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

(It's just not as smooth because it's a hardtail,obviously). Nothing has broken on me except for a few flat tires. I highly reccomend this bike for anyone who wants to ride DH on a hardtail or just huck it. It can take it!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 19, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Strong, brakes are sweet. | | Weaknesses: | Stock rims, fork, stock seat(bent really easily). | | Similar Products Used: | Kona stinky, Specialized big hit, Gt DH-I, Banshee Morphine | | Bike Setup: | Pretty much stock except tires, stem, handlebars, rims, and seat. I also added a chain guide | | Bottom Line: | This bike is super sick. It does everything and it excels at it. Most of the guys I ride with have fully's and they can't do all the stuff i can on it. In the same day I have done trail riding, drops, dirt jumping, skate park, and riding at a bmx track and my friends on fully's could only keep up with me on the trails and the drops. I have taken this thing off a 15 foot drop and it felt great. Dirt jumping on it feels great as well its very predictable and stable in the air. I have found on this bike, and on any hardtail i suppose, as long as the stunt has a nice tranny it can take it no problem. I love the brakes on this bike. The only problem I have had is that once the little plastic plug popped out on the lever and I lost all braking power because the fluid drained out. After I bled them, I hockey taped the plugs on and no problems since. With that said I have a couple of things I would change. The junior T fork isn't very stiff. Anything over 10 feet it bottoms out. However its not fair to call it a weakness because for dirt jumping and smaller stuff it is great for a dual crown fork. The stock rims a BRUTAL. I tacoed them both and replaced them with double tracks and now they are great. The saint derailuer is strong as hell, but it is a pain in the ass to adjust and i have to adjust it about once every 3 rides because it doesnt shift properly. Everything else however held up great. Ive bent a few of the stock parts in crashes but thats too be expected. This bike has handled everything i have thrown at it and more and after riding this bike for about a year and a half now, I couldnt be any happier with my decision to buy it. Norco's quality and value cannot be beat. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2400.00 | | Purchased At: | Northern Sports, 2005 Torrent | | Strengths: | Perfect geometry. 66R are by far the best fork I've ridden. Solid overall bike, Smoothest riding bike ever, and its a hartail.
Comes with a sweet Norco chainstay protector. | | Weaknesses: | I found it weird that Norco would put shimano deore shifters, i upgraded to XT right away and the shifting is alot smoother. Other weekness is weight, mine comes in at 42 pounds and its a small size frame. But how cares about weight when you have a bike that tough. The decals look like scratches according to riding buddies that see my bike from a bit further away. But thats cosmetic. And last but not least, you get stared down all the time because it looks so huge. If anyone that has one of these and reads this, tell me what colour your rims came in, mine are black and i was hoping to get them in white, i was dissapointed to see that, because they have them in white on the site. hahaha. Really there is no weakness for the bike, everything works fine. My freehub was screwed up but that was just a defect, not all torrents come that way i hope. | | Similar Products Used: | Really nothing, Manik, tactik, Balfa BB7, shore. | | Bike Setup: | 2005 Norco torrent. Marzocchi 66R(Beefiest looking SC fork ever) Syncros rims. Everything is stock except I upgraded my shifters to XT(I recommend doing so.) | | Bottom Line: | Best stock hardtail ever made for freeriding, Most people build up these things and still get a worse performing bike. Great Value, I would pay more for it if i had to. Perfect geometry. Super easy to manual with, jump, drop, DH, anything, Even XC, as long as you dont climb steep hills. I would recommend this bike to any freerider looking for a solid hardtail that'll hit anything and ask for more. Or if you love raming curbs, I would recommend freeriders looking for an upgrade fork to get a 66, it eats everything, and will guaranteed make any bike look beefier. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2500.00 | | Strengths: | Great Bike. The frame has to be the biggest baddest available.
The hard tail is the best for control, I will beat any dual suspension slappers to the bottom. Front shocks, mazzochi bommer 66r are sick! Haynes nines are standard stoppers. | | Weaknesses: | 150mm rear axle is really strong but causes the gears to miss align. This is a really fu*ked up problem. The solution is to dump the front derailer and have a 9 speed but it is still not brilliant. | | Similar Products Used: | specialized P1 | | Bike Setup: | Go Small. Easy to flick around. Easy to get in the air.
Tempting to change the bike to a single speed to stop the gear issues. | | Bottom Line: | Great bike. Just dont expect to ride up the mountain first.
Really easy to jump on. Would have expected norco to have put more thought into the gears setup. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
