2026 Norco Search C Rival XPLR -
Search C Rival XPLR
Narrow tracks, gravel roads, parks, remote trails — are you more of a touring rider or a racer? The Search C Rival XPLR is ready to take you on your next gravel adventure with its lightweight carbon frame, modern gravel geometry, Norco’s exclusive integrated downtube storage compartment, SRAM Rival AXS XPLR drivetrain, clearance for 700 × 50c tires, and mounts for full fenders and top-tube bags.
A progressive and modern gravel bike built for touring or racing.
The Search C Rival XPLR features modern gravel geometry that delivers a fast, agile, and confidence-inspiring ride on any terrain. With a longer head tube, slacker head angle, and increased reach, it offers greater stability on rough ground and easily tackles steep climbs.
The new, longer fork increases stability, and the corrected geometry allows the use of a suspension fork if you want extra comfort. The frame is also UDH-compatible and supports the latest wide-range 1x drivetrain technologies.
Fully guided cable routing and a threaded BSA bottom bracket make maintenance a breeze.
