Keeping a kid’s bike tough enough to take all the thrills and spills of becoming a better rider, but light enough to keep them motivated is a challenge that our engineering team took VERY seriously. The result, Storm Youth: Quality fit and finish of the best Norco bikes in a package optimized for small riders.

Design features

• Every Storm Youth is built with the same spirit that drives our top-level mountain bikes by focusing on creating the best possible bike fit for the intended rider, no matter how small or young they are.
• So often, kid’s bikes are geared so high that they (or you) end up having to push up hills, and getting going from a stop makes learning that much harder. With Storm’s lower gears, balance kicks in sooner, and hills no longer grind your family fun to halt.
