Details
An endurance road bike, the Norco Valence Carbon delivers refined, long distance stability and comfort in a sleek, race-ready package. The ARC Endurance system integrated into the frame and fork delivers unrivaled vibration damping, while the super stiff Power Chassis pedaling platform is the source of the bike’s punchy acceleration and a highly responsive ride feel – rewarding riders who like to get up out of the saddle. Effortlessly select from among 22 speeds with the crisp, self-adjusting Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic drivetrain, and enjoy the all-conditions confidence and power you can only get from hydraulic disc brakes. DT Swiss provides strength and aerodynamics with their lightweight PR1600 DICUT wheels, ready to go the distance on 28mm Maxxis Rouler rubber, while Norco cockpit pieces provide all-day comfort and seamless control.
Electronic drivetrain systems deliver excellent shifting, easy set up, and solid battery life. Here are some benefits of electronic shifting that you don't want to miss.
Shifting Performance
Electronic shifting systems use powerful servo motors to rapidly shift the chain. Because microprocessors and sensors constantly monitor every aspect of the system, they shift with surgical precision and without chain rub.
Customization
Many major systems have customizable shifting. Some have the ability to add remote shifters for common riding positions, and some even allow you to change the functions of the shifting buttons.
Dependability
Electronic groupsets are responsive and consistent. There are no cables to stretch and wear out, so you get a flawless shift every time. The added bonus is you'll never have to replace a derailleur cable ever again.
