Norco Charger 1Climb mountains, ride trails, but most of all, just get out there and go further. Charger has returned as an updated staple in the Norco lineup. A hardtail that packs a lot of punch, it’s a great option for anyone pushing boundaries off the pavement and into the dirt.
Charger 1 is a durable, modern hardtail trail bike with progressive geometry, stable handling, and premium frame features. A low standover top tube design, modern trail geometry, and short stays make this a solid bike for anyone when heading out on your favourite trails.
Durable and stable
A forged bottom bracket yoke adds strength, more tire clearance, and stiffness. A tapered head tube for an integrated headset improves handling and stability.
Hydroformed tubing
Custom hydroformed aluminum frame tubing with smooth welding adds a sleek look.
Modern geometry
A low standover top tube design, modern trail geometry with a 65-degree headtube angle, and short 435 stays make this bike a solid choice for anyone when heading out on your favourite trails.
Premium frame features
Thruaxle dropouts front and rear, and internal cable routing through the frame protects from wear and adds to the clean look and feel.

Charger comes in sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL, offering a wider range of sizes so that everyone can find their perfect ride.
