If we didn’t make the unsurpassed Co-motion Americano, we’d have to tell you the Nor’Wester Tour is the most capable touring bike money can buy. And it really is a great bike. It has everything you need to carry touring loads, while providing an incredibly stable ride and the kind of positioning you want when your goal is to cover ground and take in the scenery.
The Nor’Wester Tour is a superb touring bike that is built a little lighter to help you pack smart and tread lightly, while getting up those hills a little easier. You do know you'll get up those hills easier if you carry less, right? Examine our specifications, and you'll notice the component kit is quite similar to the Americano package, although the tandem-duty wheelset is exchanged for a more universal set with 130mm spacing, as most road bikes are equipped.
The Nor'Wester Tour's frame tubes are just a little larger than your old road bike, yet thin walled to add refreshingly supple resilience. Adding to the Nor'Wester Tour's impeccable balance and stability is our rock-steady Americano fork. This is the fork that has crossed every continent on Earth with the navigational certainty of Magellan, and the stoic resolve of a loyal Sherpa.
As we meet more cyclists who have come to know us for great touring bikes, we explain what our Americano can do. We show postcard and photos from epic journeys Americanos have taken their riders all over the globe. We often hear, "well, I'm not doing anything THAT extreme..." So here's your bike: The beautiful, capable, well-built, nicely balanced Nor'Wester Tour. Fitted just for you with or without our Co-Pilot option for suitcase portability. It's everything the Americano is, and less.
The versatile nature of the Nor’Wester Tour can be enhanced with the Co-Pilot Option; S+S couplers that allow for suitcase portability with no surcharges from the airlines. A Nor’Wester TourCo-Pilot just might be the one bike you can own that will do everything you need it to do. Shown painted in Ferrari Red and ready to tour.
