How We Roll. Luke Ball vs Jordan Prochyra promo from Leon Fry on Vimeo.

We love the new Aurum 2 down hill bike from Norco, but some of our feedback has been mixed about the rear xfusion shock, so we have worked out a deal with Rockshox to settle it once and for all.

For a limited time we are offering a current model rockshox vivid R2C coil shock and spring FREE with every Norco Aurum 2 sold.

MEGA FRAME

Inspired by the explosion in Megavalanche-style Enduro DH events and evolved from a prototype that placed highly in the 2009 run of the actual event, the Mega frame is built to take the unique combinations of challenges thrown up by Enduro-style DH events and general All-Mountain adventure.

Offering 150mm rear travel and designed to match with 150-170mm forks up front the Mega is a versatile frame that combines plush descending prowess with pedalling efficiency.
Suspension-wise, the Mega uses our ‘Erosion’ linkage giving a smooth progressive action with a well controlled mid-stroke to avoid wallowing under pedal loads.

Main bearing pivots are contained within a bespoke CNC-machined Bottom Bracket Assembly to ensure alignment, durability and precision, while an asymmetric chainstay design gives clearance for a double front derailleur (with a 22t-36t chainring set up) and compatibility with all leading models of ISCG-05 mounted chain retention systems.

Geometry is based around a 66deg head angle and 75deg seat angle, with a BB height of 13.69” for climbing and descending prowess.

A 44mm headtube standard keeps the front of the bike light, with Nukeproof headset options allowing all fork steerer option compatibility.

The Mega is available in a choice of Anodized Black, Anodized Silver and Nukeproof Yellow finishes.

Frame Weight – Medium 6.83lb or 3.1kg (without shock

All i can say is WOW

For a price point production bike to be this well finished off is rare, the new Norco Aurum 1 and 2 have blown the DH bike market out of the water with a sub $3500.00 bike and a sub $5000.00 bike.

The standout features include the integrated fork bumpers, keyed and replaceable pivot-bolt receivers, post-mount rear-brake studs and an extra derailleur hanger stashed on the frame. These are all godsends for privateer racers or anyone spending some serious bike-park time.

The Aurum’s geometry numbers are also quite noteworthy. Not only does it push the slacker and lower trend with its 63.5-degree head angle and sub 14-inch-high bottom bracket, it is the only bike we know of that has size-specific rear ends-as the frame size increases the chainstay length also increases. Impressive.

Norco’s ART linkage uses a chainstay-mounted pivot for a rearward axle-path and minimal brake jack. This rearward axle path, combined with the slack head angle, soaked up square-edged hits nicely, allowing the Aurum to hold speed through rough steeps. The linkage also has a good deal of anti-squat, which manifests as snappy acceleration when you put power to the pedals. The suspension tune on the Aurum
felt about perfect as well It was nice and linear through most of the travel with a bit of a ramp up near the end to prevent harsh bottom-outs.
