May 20, 2014 – Norco Bicycles is thrilled to introduce the all-new 2015 Threshold, our fully redesigned cyclocross race platform. The new model features a sub-1000g carbon frame, full thru axle design, disc brakes, GIZMO cable routing system and a striking new paint job.
Norco’s cyclocross race machine was designed and developed on Canada’s Pacific Coast: a region characterized by rugged landscapes and abundant precipitation. The all-new Threshold is a product of our demanding environment and a symbol of Norco’s distinctly Canadian take on the cyclocross tradition. Tested on the trails and proven on the racecourse, the 2015 Threshold is how Norco does cyclocross.We’ve long been known as a leader in mountain bikes. When it comes to CX, we recognized years ago that many of the technologies and frame features that make our mountain bikes exceptional could be carried over to our cyclocross program: lateral frame stiffness for explosive acceleration; thru axles for railing through rutted corners and holding lines; snappy, precise handling for maneuvering through variable terrain; disc brakes for the confidence to ride faster and push harder in all conditions.
Look closely at the new Threshold and you cannot miss the MTB influence. What can we say? It’s in our blood.
