Expirience with the Norco Sight C3

Ludwig Döhl The Sight C3 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. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. There are Enduro in the price under 6000 Euro that have more potential downhill. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Norco sets the bar high! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Sight C3 sizing runs small.
