Product details

We offer shipping for Norco Bikes within Canada for a $250 flat rate (bicycles and frames) or $350 for e-bikes

Whether you're linking fire roads out past the Okanagan Rail Trail or piecing together a mixed-surface loop through Kelowna's backroads, the Norco Search A3 is built to handle whatever your route throws at you. This is Norco's aluminum gravel platform — lightweight, adventure-ready, and equally at home racing gravel or loading up for an overnighter.

 

 

KEY FEATURES

Frame — Norco Search aluminum frame with modern gravel geometry (taller head tube, slacker head angle, longer reach for stability on rough terrain); UDH compatible; adventure-ready mounts for fenders, top tube bags, and water bottles

Fork — Carbon fork, suspension-ready for riders who want to add a small-travel suspension fork later

Standout feature — Integrated low-profile front fender and full-coverage fender/accessory mounts for year-round Okanagan riding

WHO IS THIS FOR

The Search A3 suits the rider who wants one bike for everything — weekday commutes into Kelowna, weekend gravel loops, and the occasional loaded overnighter without needing a second bike. They'll appreciate the stable, confidence-inspiring geometry on rougher surfaces and the practical mounts for fenders and bags when the ride gets longer or the weather turns.

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.

HOW TO SET UP

Our team will get your contact points dialled — saddle height, reach, and cleat alignment if you're running clipless pedals — so the Search A3 fits you properly from day one. We'll also set tire pressure appropriate for gravel versus pavement riding, and if you're adding a cycling computer or sensors, we can help with setup and pairing before you head out.

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

FAQ

Q.What size Norco Search A3 do I need?
Norco builds the Search platform in numerical sizes to fit a wide range of rider heights. Since exact fit depends on reach and riding style as well as height, we'd recommend checking the geometry chart above and stopping by either Fresh Air location so our team can help confirm the right size for you.

Q.Is the Norco Search A3 right for riding the Okanagan Rail Trail or the KVR?
Yes — the Search A3 is built exactly for this kind of mixed-surface riding, with tire clearance and geometry suited to hardpack rail trail, gravel, and paved connectors alike.

Q.What tyre width and clearance does the Search A3 support?
The Search platform supports tire clearance up to 700x50mm depending on build, giving plenty of room for wider gravel tires.
