Norco Search XR

I had the chance to look at the Norco Search XR; If you are looking for a carbon frame that has gobs of tire clearance this may be your new bike for 2018.

The model I looked at had 700x40c tires and it looked to me like there was close to 1/2" clearance on each side from tread to inner chain stays. Looks like the manufacturers are finally getting the memo on tire clearance with 700c tires!

Love everything about this bike but the stack/reach.

What about stack and reach do u not like?

Stack is a little low for the 60.

Otherwise it's really nice.  Looking at the steel version: reynolds 725, thru axles, Fork mounts, 3 eyelets on the downtube, gobs of tire clearance.

\n \nToo much reach, not enough stack. It’s definitely not on par with most other endurance geometries,
