How it compares
130 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 130 mm median of the 13 bikes in the “downcountry bike” category in our database. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 120 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. Among Norco’s mountain bikes, the Norco Revolver has the shortest fork travel. Norco builds the frame from carbon.
Fork and shock come from FOX on every build.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 34 SL Performance Float Grip): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red FOX adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Air shock (FOX Float SL Performance): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the Norco Revolver
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Norco gives its own target SAG, use that.
130 mm fork, 45.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 22 mm | 24 % = 10.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 26 mm | 28 % = 12.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 29 mm | 30 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 26 mm | 27 % = 12.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.40″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Maxxis Forekaster 29x2.4 / Rekon 29x2.4.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
