I'm not sure whether there is a retailer in South Africa, but here in Namibia we get the Norco Search and Search XR (the one with wider tyre space) from Mannie (Mannie's Bike Mecca). I really like my Search and I like the brand too. They are Canadian, and there seems to be something humble and honest about them. Norco seems to specialise in the offroad section from Gravel to MTB - and they make some cracker mountain bikes! If you need more info, hit me up or check out their website.
