2025 Norco Storm 29: Adventure Your Way

The 2025 Norco Storm 29 is built for riders who want a versatile hardtail that is as comfortable on rugged forest trails as it is on city bike paths. With a lightweight aluminum frame and a design centered around confidence and control, the Storm opens up a world of off-road adventure for both new and experienced mountain bikers.

Progressive Trail Geometry

The 2025 Storm features Norco’s progressive off-road design, which centers the rider’s weight for a more balanced feel. By providing a more forward weight distribution within an extended wheelbase, the Storm delivers powerful, efficient pedaling on climbs and increased grip and stability when descending.

Optimized for Performance

• Smooth Suspension: Equipped with 100mm of travel (Suntour XCT-30 DS), the Storm provides the perfect amount of cushion to soak up bumps and roots without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Size-Specific Wheels: To ensure a perfect ride for every height, the Storm utilizes 29-inch wheels on sizes Medium through XXL, offering superior rollover and momentum on the trail.
• Internal Cable Routing: By tucking shift and brake cables inside the frame, the Storm keeps mechanical systems protected from the elements, ensuring smoother shifting and longer intervals between services.

Reliable Components

The Storm is outfitted with a durable 1x drivetrain featuring the Shimano Essa 8-speed system, providing a wide range of gears for steep inclines without the complexity of a front derailleur. Stopping power is handled by reliable disc brakes, ensuring you can "stop on a dime" in all weather conditions.

Versatility Built-In

Beyond the trails, the Storm is ready for daily life. The lightweight custom-tubed aluminum frame includes integrated mounts for racks and fenders, making it an excellent choice for a rugged commuter. It also features dual water bottle mounts to keep you hydrated on longer excursions.
