Inspiral Cycles and Norco present a demo day at Danny Hart’s Descend Bike Park
This demo day will specifically focus on Norco’s highly acclaimed Sight and Optic models.
These high-pivot/high-idler equipped designs from Norco offer a genuine leap forward in performance and versatility. Not only does the high idler design also improve downhill performance, but it increases suspension effectiveness on the climbs too, increasing grip and giving you an advantage on techy climbs.
The Norco Optic has a 140mm fork and 125mm rear travel, with 29″ wheels front and rear. Don’t underestimate this bike. Check out the reviews.
The Norco Sight has a 160mm fork and 150mm rear travel, with a 29″ front and 27.5″ rear wheel. Is this the ultimate enduro machine? Check out the reviews.
Both bikes descend and climb with a composure that is seriously impressive. Of course the only way to find out what this actually feels like, is to try one!
