Expirience with the Norco Sight C SE

Ludwig Döhl The Sight C SE is Greg Minnar's training steed on the enduro tracks of South Africa. With 160 mm and the high pivot rear linkage, the crew at Norco isn't just aiming to satisfy the former DH World Champion. With a 64 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. On climbs, other bikes in the above 8000 Euro present a little better performance than the Sight C SE. 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, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs small.
