Norco Bikes

Hi, Has anyone here got any thoughts on the NORCO bikes? they look quite nice on the website but I've not heard anything about them.Are they any good or crap?

They look stunning IMO, have a search on the 'your ride' section. I know of at least one in there. (also depends on what model etc your talking about).





It has to be one of my dream frames!

We have Norco bikes for rent at the bike park I work in.

Depending which ones you are looking at I can confirm that the Fluid is a decent enough xc bike, the Truax is a good looking and riding freeride bike and the Aurum is a fast and fun DH bike.

The sight/revlver and others I have only seen in passing but all look very well thought out and put together. Some nice little touches, I thought they were perhaps a little under specced for the price but others seemt o feel they are decent VFM so maybe I am out of touch or they are higher price/lower spec in canada.

I have rode the Sight 2 & Aurum 2. Both are really great bikes. I rode the Sight back to back with a Giant Trance X2 and was very surprised that the Norco is actually much better than the Giant.
I came very close to buying the Aurum 2. It was just Hotlines & Bad Ass Bikes pre sale service which convinced me to buy the Nukeproof Scalp Pro instead.

Although Norco make good bikes now there are much better bikes at this sort of price range. Voodoo, Boardman & Rockrider are much better value. Although you linked to a womens specific bike it's worth trying mens bikes, none of the women I ride with have womens specific bikes. You might just need to change the saddle & fit a shorter stem.

Problem is Im quite small with a short torso.The Boardman at 15" will be too big, otherwize i'd get one in a shot.

They're Canadian, and have a much larger prescence over there. Whilst they're quite a small name in the UK, they're still pretty well respected.
