Expirience with the Norco Optic A2

Norco Optic A2 Review In Canada, mountain biking is a different beast compared to Europe, and the Optic A2 is prime evidence of that. Despite packing just 125 mm of rear travel, this rig is fully tuned for downhill thrills. The commanding High Pivot rear suspension design is typically found on bikes with significantly more squish. Can this quirky approach actually work? We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the All Mountain von Norco is a very balanced customer. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on demanding single tracks should be considered pleasant. Norco is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature. Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs small.
