Norco Bikes in Kelowna: B.C. Born, Okanagan Ready
Norco has been designing bikes in British Columbia since 1964. More than 60 years later, it's still one of Canada's best-known mountain bike brands. Its bikes are shaped by B.C.'s steep, rooty, demanding trails, which is why they feel right at home in Kelowna. That includes the flowy singletrack at Smith Creek, the technical descents at Crawford, and the punchy climbs on Knox Mountain.
From Chicken Coop to Canadian Icon
A converted chicken coop in British Columbia isn't where you'd expect one of Canada's most iconic bike brands to start, but that's exactly how Norco began in 1964 under the name Northern Cycle Industries. Nearly 60 years on, the company's still headquartered in BC, still designing bikes in the same mountains that shaped it from day one.
Picking up a new Norco? Pair it with a proper bike fitting and keep it running smoothly with regular servicing from the team at our Kelowna sports stores.
"No Other Way": A Philosophy Built Into Every Bike
Norco's slogan, "No Other Way," isn't just branding. It points to a single-minded focus on getting the ride right, and their Ride Aligned™ Design System is the proof. Geometry, suspension kinematics, and setup are all matched to the rider, not just a size chart. That's how bikes like the Sight, Optic, Range, and Fluid end up tuned for people on real terrain. Keep your setup dialled in with regular bike maintenance and a quick tune-up before your next big ride.
Mountain Roots That Run Deep
There's a Norco for pretty much every riding style out there. Enduro and all-mountain riders reach for the Range and Sight, while the Optic and Fluid handle trail duty, and the Revolver covers cross-country. Downhill has the Shore and Torrent, gravel and cyclocross get the Search and Threshold, and road or urban riding is covered by the Charger, Valence, and Yorkville. Add VLT e-bike versions across several of those models, plus a full kids' lineup, and Norco has built something for nearly every rider and every type of terrain.
