58cm Norco Valence A2

Smooth Endurance Comfort. Proven Value.

The engineering hallmark of the 2013 Norco Valence A2 is its double-butted 7050 aluminum frame paired with ARC endurance seatstays and a carbon-blade fork. Norco designed the Valence series with a slightly taller head tube and relaxed geometry to reduce back and neck strain during long hours in the saddle. The bowed ARC stay profile acts as a natural micro-suspension system, dampening harsh road vibrations before they reach your seat post, while the carbon fork delivers precise, chatter-free front-end handling.

Why This Norco Valence A2 Belongs in Your Garage:

• Comfort-Oriented Endurance Geometry: Taller stack height and slightly longer wheelbase provide stable, confidence-inspiring handling and an upright riding position.

• Lightweight 7050 Aluminum Frame: Formed, double-butted alloy tubing keeps total frame weight low while providing high bottom-bracket stiffness for efficient pedaling.

• Carbon-Blade Vibration Dampening Fork: Carbon fiber fork legs absorb high-frequency tarmac buzz to minimize upper body hand fatigue.

• Shimano 9Speed Drivetrain: Dependable Shimano gearing offers smooth shifting with a wide gear range that handles steep neighborhood hills with ease.
