Norco Charger Youth 26 - Floating Green
The Norco Charger Youth 26 is built for bigger young riders exploring local trails, riding to school and heading out on family adventures. With a lightweight aluminium frame, an 80mm SR Suntour XCR Air fork with lockout and a light tune, a Shimano Cues 9-speed drivetrain with an 11-46T cassette, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and 26 x 2.25" tyres, this is a trail-ready hardtail with kid-friendly geometry and a low standover.
At Mackay Cycles, we see the Charger Youth 26 as the last step before a full-size mountain bike, with the gearing, suspension and braking to take on real trails around Mackay and beyond.

- Lightweight aluminium 26" frame with a tapered head tube and low standover
- SR Suntour XCR Air fork with 80mm travel, lockout and a light tune for lighter riders
- Shimano Cues 9-speed drivetrain with RD-U4000 derailleur and an 11-46T cassette

Parts, Clothing and Accessories are shipped via Australia Post or other parcel courier. Bicycles, Frame-sets and indoor smart-bike trainers are shipped via specialist bike courier services to ensure they arrive in suitable condition.
2. Warehouse-Supplied Items
Some items on our website are supplied directly from brand warehouses interstate. Where this applies, the product page shows a note such as "Available to Order from [Brand] Warehouse — ships to Mackay Cycles, then ready for Click & Collect or local delivery in approx. 5–10 working days depending on brand."
These items route through our Mackay store before dispatch, so we can check, pack and freight them properly. Please allow the stated working days for the item to arrive with us before it's dispatched to you.
A small number of items ship direct from the supplier to your address — where that applies, the product page will say so.
