Expirience with the Norco Optic C1

Ludwig Döhl As a on demanding single tracks, the Norco ticks all the boxes. With a flat 65 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The seating position is sporty. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Norco sets the bar high!
