Expirience with the Norco Sight C3 MX

Ludwig Döhl The Sight C3 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. Norco is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The upright seating position gives the Sight C3 MX a comfortable character. On the downhill, however, the Enduro von Norco is left in the dust by its competitors. Norco gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Sight C3 MX sizing runs small.
