Norco Search A Flat Bar - 2025
Explore Everywhere. Conform to Nothing.
Meet the 2025 Norco Search A Flat Bar — a gravel bike built for those who refuse to choose between comfort and capability. Designed for riders who prefer flat bars over drops but still demand serious off-road performance, the Search A Flat Bar blends modern gravel geometry, durable construction, and adventure-ready features into one versatile machine.
Key Highlights
-
Adventure-First Geometry
With a longer reach, slacker head angle, and taller front end, the Search A Flat Bar delivers confidence on rough terrain and composure at speed. It’s built to handle everything from dirt roads to technical trails while remaining comfortable on pavement. -
Lightweight, Durable Build
The frame is crafted from butted aluminum with smooth welds, striking the perfect balance between strength and weight savings. A carbon fork with 51 mm offset adds precision handling and includes mounts for racks and extra gear. -
Gravel-Ready Drivetrain
The Shimano CUES 1×9 drivetrain uses a 38T crank paired with an 11–46T cassette, giving you a wide range for steep climbs and long rides. The frame is also UDH-compatible for future drivetrain upgrades. -
All-Weather Stopping Power
Tektro HD-R280 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors deliver consistent, reliable braking performance in any conditions. -
Massive Tire Clearance
The frame and fork clear up to 700×50c tires, giving you extra volume and comfort for loose or rugged surfaces. -
Adventure-Ready Mounts
Multiple mounts for racks, fenders, bottle cages, and frame packs make this bike equally suited for commuting, bikepacking, and weekend gravel missions. Fully guided internal cable routing keeps maintenance simple, and the threaded BSA bottom bracket adds long-term serviceability. -
Confidence Warranty
Backed by Norco’s No Other Way Limited Lifetime Warranty for peace of mind on every ride.
