Youd be surprised at what it can doWeaknesses: The steerer tube and seat tube sizes are less then standard so I need to replace my stem and get a new steerer put on to fit the marzocchi's I want.Bottom Line: I will cry whenever I replace it, If I replace it
I give it a 90/100

Strengths: It's a really good bike for what it is. This bike kicked butt before 2000. After that they sacrificed the good components for some really junk front forks resulting in a semi-crapcycle. 99 was the last good year. It's got a good setup for the money and it's not as heavy as it used to be. The new ones are also Aluminum, Mine is still the CroMoly. Good BikeWeaknesses: The handle bars are like lead weights...trade those in on an aluminum set and you are laughing. The seat that mine came with was about as comfortable as plywood.Bottom Line: You pay for what you get and here you do pretty well for the dollars invested. It's a durable fun to ride bike that is comfortable and has a very nice price tag considering what you are getting. I'd reccomend it. Norco is also a great Canadian Company!

Strengths: your bones will break befor it does,
a really good speedy trailbike,
size 18" and fits me like a glove,
chromoly frames might be heavy but my bike has been surviving a rigorous amount of beating. It really does the jobWeaknesses: I cant say there are any really. I maintain it whenever I can and the name says it all Bush-pilot. It is a really good bikeBottom Line: I love it, seriously. it might be cleap and the components might be factory but it rides like it was a day old, and I ride it really hard because I know bc it will outstand 3' drops already...

Strengths: Strong, durable, it's a norcoWeaknesses: HEAVY (mine weighs 35 lbs without the pannier rack)Bottom Line: I've owned this beast for about 10 years and it's still going. My oringinal parts were cooked after 6 years but I rode them into the ground for another 3. My friend helped me clean it up with stuff out of his junkpile and now it works great. I'm using it now for my commuter and winter bike. My other bike is a trek 8000 which I'm unloading. Buying a team 853 frame. If you want a great bike go with norco.
