A tough, reliable build for rough riders.
A robust aluminum frame forms the foundation of the Torrent DH’s durability-first mindset, but with a simple frame style and clean design. Simplified hardware including external cable routing, oversized bearings, frame protection, and chain management increase your service life for endless days of laps on laps.
Groms to grown-ups.
The Virtual Pivot Suspension (VPS) layout, Norco’s take on a Horst Link setup, is responsive under power while offering up traction when needed, all in a simple and lightweight package. It’s tuned for uphill efficiency, just as much as stability and control on the descent, making it perfect for all-mountain exploration and making the most of your battery life.
Smooth, stable, low-maintenance performance - lap after lap.
The VPS - Virtual Pivot Suspension platform delivers a smooth, consistent, capable ride for riders who want a low-maintenance setup that has their back. This system is designed for durability and
dependable performance, and will stay composed under hard braking and repeated impacts. Its simple layout keeps maintenance low, while providing the support, traction, and control needed for relentless shuttling and bike park laps.
Take all the lines, no excuses.
Torrent DH comes spec’d with a custom-tuned air shock for a simple setup, adding an additional end stroke ramp to control bottom-outs when you send that jump way to deep. For park purists, it’s also compatible with a coil swap out.
With our Ride Aligned Setup Guide, you get a dialed ride right out of the gate, giving you confidence to push, boost jumps, land deep, and run through the rough at speed.
