A strange bike...

Don't you find this bike a little weird? [:)] I'm not into downhill nor freeride, but this seems to be a hybrid between the two... A stiff, heavy, small-frame hardtail with a massive dual-crown fork and 203mm rotors. I don't know if it's any good for acrobatics with such a back-sloped geometry, and I don't know how it can ride fast downhill with a hard tail. The guy who rides it speeds away from me on a descent every time though [:D]
But I never saw a bike with such a big fork and no rear shock... Strange don't you think? [:)]
<font size="1">To clip or not to clip, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind of men to suffer the dings and contusions of unclipp'd riding, or to bind thy feet against a sea of gnarly singletrack and by these contraptions, ride o'er them with ease. To clip... to slip no more, and by clipping to end the buttache and the thousand natural shocks that ryders are heir to; tis a consummation devoutly to be honed. No clip - to slip perchance to be thrashed most heinously...</font id="size1">

I thought Norco make a lot of lang travel hardtails?

Frame reminds me a little of the ruckus. Looks nice though.
