Norco Factory Racing’s Sam Blenkinsop and Joe Smith are set for racing this weekend’s Enduro World Series Rotorua event. After a week of testing and training aboard their new team built Norco Range C7.1 bikes, the guys are feeling ready for the rumble in the jungle. With a few new sponsors linking up with the team for 2017, this is just a peek at their newly team built Norco Range C7.1.
| I am not sure if I’ll race my Range 27.5 or 29—it’s a tough call. They both offer an advantage in certain areas. Either would do the job… but it’s awesome having the option. Either way, I’m feeling ready to get out with the boys!—Sam Blenkinsop |
| New team, new bike, new sponsors, and my first time in New Zealand. All around, looking forward to kicking it off this weekend at the EWS. Sam, Henry, and I have been out riding in the New Zealand forest/jungle, and it’s been nothing but hero dirt and massive grins! I’m definitely loving my new green machine! That bike is a weapon.—Joe Smith |
You will see more of Sam, Joe, and Henry next week, as they continue in to Crankworx Rotorua. They’ll most likely throw a leg over their Range’s for selected events there as well. Until then, it’s all switches to giv’er.
Full release coming at you March 30th.
Cheers,
Norco Factory Racing
