Expirience with the Norco Optic C1

Ludwig Döhl The Optic C1 was designed for use in in alpine terrain. And that's exactly where it shines. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the All Mountain of Norco oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Optic C1 scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Norco puts a lot of trust in its products.
