Safety

In conclusion, always check bike reviews and their components before making a purchase to make sure you don’t overpay.

Average weight for Crosscountry bikes
On a deeper look, we notice that the average weight of a Crosscountry bike is 12.4 kg (27.34 lbs). It is a good advantage to have a lighter bike than the average. However, a heavier bike is more efficient on descents.
Scorcher weighs 15.8 kg (34.83 lbs) and is much heavier than the average. In other words, this model is 27.42% heavier than the average Crosscountry bike.
Overview of components
Fork
The Scorcher comes factory-installed with the SunTour fork. This has a travel range of 63mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
The Scorcher 2010 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Norco Scorcher is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
