Search XR C2 650b components

Search XR C2 650b has a carbon fork, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.
Wheels size

Dropper post
The Norco model is also equipped with a dropper post. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
