Singletrack, dirt roads, city parks, even the most remote back country trails – are you roaming or racing? Search C Apex XPLR is ready for your next gravel adventure with modern gravel geo, a lightweight full carbon frame featuring Norco's proprietary downtube storage, SRAM Apex XPLR drivetrain, tire clearance up to 50c, and full-coverage fender and toptube bag mounts.
A progressive, modern gravel bike.
Search C Apex XPLR features new-school gravel geo fit for a fast, lively, confident ride on any terrain. With a taller headtube, slacker head angle, and longer reach, it’s more stable on rough terrain and ready to tackle steeper grades with ease.
The updated, longer fork adds stability and the new geometry is compatible with suspension forks if you want to add some extra cushion. The frame is UDH compatible and supports fitments for all the latest wide range 1x drivetrain technologies.
Fully guided cable routing and a fully threaded BSA bottom bracket makes maintenance a breeze.
