Norco Torrent DHThe Torrent DH is built for riders who live for lift service, shuttle laps, and the feeling of dropping into a trail that pushes back, whether you want to throw shapes on A-Line or race between the tape.
200 mm of travel in a straight-up, no-nonsense package made to take a beating and keep coming back for more. It has a tough aluminum frame with size-specific geometry designed around dual crown forks and a mixed wheel setup — giving you the confidence to corner harder, brake later, and ride longer without worrying about anything but the next lap.
These bikes are built for riders who don’t have time for faff. Simple, durable, and stripped back to what actually matters, made to take a beating and keep rolling without constant maintenance. No nonsense, just clean design, easy maintenance, and parts that do their job day in, day out. It’s the kind of setup you can thrash, park, and forget about until the next ride. Straightforward bikes at a price that gets more riders in and keeps them there.

Durable design
A tough, reliable build for rough riders. A robust aluminum frame forms the foundation of the Torrent DH’s durability-first mindset, but with a simple frame style and clean design. The external cable routing, replaceable frame protection, and chain management make it easy to service for endless days of laps on laps.
Fit to ride
From groms to grown-ups. Purpose-built for bike park terrain and downhill tracks, the geometry is designed around 200/200 mm of travel, optimized for stability, maneuverability, and fearlessness. Five sizes (S1–5) and a low standover height accommodate a wide range of riders, including groms taller than 5ft, who love to send it. Playful mixed wheel configuration across all sizes provides reliable performance, and playful ride feel without added complexity. Size-specific rear centres provide proportional geo with predictable handling on everything from blue flow trails to double black tech and pro lines.
