Expirience with the Norco Optic C2

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a in alpine terrain, the Norco really comes into its own. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the All Mountain von Norco. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the All Mountain von Norco. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the All Mountain von Norco scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Norco is behind its products.
