Norco Phena (2011)

The Phena is a high-end mountain bike from the Norco company that offers a step-down from the company's Vixa model and a step-up from the Ari model. Utilizing a hybrid Grey/Black aesthetic with White and Purple highlighting, this model is optimized for Female riders and features a revamped 120mm frame design with reinforced aluminum tubing and a one-piece link arm.

These components form an ultra-durable core without adding unnecessary weight, working alongside a Rock Shox Recon R Solo for portability. A pair of 26-inch Mountain King tires provide maximal traction on rough mountain terrain, housing a set of Alex DC-25 rims with stainless steel spokes. The Phena's front and rear drivetrain components feature two separate gear types for individualized traction adjustment on varying landscapes, incorporating 3 and 10-speed Shimano SLX units respectively. Shimano has also contributed a set of 160mm brakes from its M-445 series, with additional components including Norco's own adjustable rising handlebars and lock-on grips for full-confidence steering. The Phena is available in Extra Small, Small, Medium and Large sizes.
