Expirience with the Norco Sight A1 MX

Ludwig Döhl The Sight A1 MX is Greg Minnar's training bike on the enduro trails of South Africa. With 160 mm and the high pivot rear suspension design, the Canadian crew from Norco aim not only to please the ex DH World Champion. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Enduro von Norco is a very balanced customer. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Enduro around under 6000 Euro that would suit you better. With the shifting components, Norco fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Norco Fully sizing runs small.
