Whether you're stringing together hardpack sections of the KVR out past Myra Canyon or piecing together a mixed-surface loop on the Okanagan Rail Trail, the Norco Search A2 is set up to handle it. It pairs a lightweight Search Butted Aluminum frame with a carbon fork and Shimano GRX 2x12 gearing, giving you a wide range for grinding up long climbs and covering ground efficiently once the surface smooths out.

 

 

KEY FEATURES

Search Butted Aluminum frame with smooth welds, a carbon fork with adventure mounts, and full-coverage fender, rear rack, and multiple bottle mounts

Shimano GRX 2x12 drivetrain with GRX FC-RX610-2 46-30T crankset and Shimano CS-HG710 10-36T cassette for wide-range gearing on climbs and pavement alike

Shimano BR-RX400 mechanical disc brakes with 160mm Shimano SM-RT54 rotors, front and rear

Shimano HB/FH-TC500 sealed-bearing hubs wrapped in WTB Riddler 700x45C tanwall tires;

Norco SL alloy stem and Norco Super Flare aluminum handlebar (width scales by frame size), Norco alloy seatpost

Tire clearance up to 700x50c, with mounts for fenders, a rear rack, and multiple bottle cages — built for loaded adventure rides as much as day trips

WHO IS THIS FOR

The Search A2 is a strong fit for a rider who wants dependable, easy-to-service gearing for a mix of pavement commuting and gravel exploring — the 2x12 Shimano GRX drivetrain gives a wider gear range than a 1x setup, which helps on long valley climbs or loaded touring days. It suits someone getting into gravel riding for the first time, or an experienced rider who prioritizes practical touring features like rack and fender mounts over ultralight weight.

Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

GEOMETRY & SIZING

Frame geometry and sizing details for the Norco Search A2 are available on the Norco website. Norco offers the Search A2 in SZ1 through SZ5. Our team at Fresh Air can help you find the right frame size based on your height, inseam, and riding style — come in to either Kelowna location and we'll get you dialled in.

HOW TO SET UP

Our team will start by dialling in your contact points — saddle height, reach, and stem length — so the Search A2 fits your riding style, whether that's commuting or loaded touring. We'll set tire pressure to match the WTB Riddler tread for the terrain you're riding most, from Okanagan Rail Trail hardpack to looser KVR gravel, and make sure your Shimano GRX shifting is adjusted properly across both chainrings. If you're planning to add a rear rack or fenders using the frame's mounts, we can walk through fitment options in-store.

Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.
