The combination of BMX and mountain biking, Dirt/Street takes BMX style and fuses it with big-wheel speed. It’s one bike for trails, skate parks and dirt jumps. Norco pioneered this style of bicycle and as riders continue to advance the sport, making larger jumps, learning new tricks and pushing the boundaries of what is possible on a bicycle, our bikes have evolved too. A unique culture has developed within the sport, bridging the gap between BMX and mountain bikes, and we’ve been there since the start.

Strengths: strong welds and 6061 aluminum alloy frame (which is a higher more pure grade) and good strong head tube
Weaknesses: real strong frame i found it in the scrap yard without and parts so i don't know how good the stock pars were but i do know that Ive gone through about five crank sets six rims and two forks and two frames dude to a crack on the back from tailwips (my fault)
Bottom Line:
for approximately 1000 its a very good bang for your buck and if anything is going to brake it wouldn't be the frame but the components strongly recommend the frame
Similar Products Used: Sasquatch, other 0ne25's, .243, scrap, p.1, p.2, p.3's, doberman, NS, many transitions, and a DMR
Bike Setup: 0ne25 frame, s type rims, travel link crank set, single speed Kenya street rubber, denty bars and stem, with a 09 66 fork on the front all found and bought at the scrap yard from a person who know nothing but the scrap value of 7.00$ ow ya...

Strengths: Great ride, strong frame and components. In general very strong. feels great to ride, very flickable, super easy to manual.
Weaknesses: tubes lost air super fast (15 psi in 1 month), but i might have been unlucky.
grips arent lock on, and soon start to slide around a good bit (1 month in)
tires are heavy and arent very good (900g a peice)
a little heavy (30lbs)
Bottom Line:
A great bike to ride. It rides really nice and feels good to be on. Very flickable, short chainstays, which help with manuals, great looking.
I would suggest this to anyone looking for a bike in this price range, its super strong, and can take anything you throw at it.
and im not a weekend warrior, nor any of the others, im a dj/street daily rider.
Bike Setup: Stock, except for green valve caps (that chev didn't deserve them!). soon to have either Lizard Skins Peaty Grips lock-ons, or Pro-Palm lock-ons, Maxxis Holy Rollers or Kenda Small Block 8's, and new tubes.

Strengths: Good geometry for djs and street. brakes are decent enough. Strong as hell.
Weaknesses: Heavy, rims are crap, fork is crap. overall not very good components.Heavy.pedals are slippery.heavy.
Bottom Line:
Its a great bike to start with for djs and urban riding but you'll end up upgrading a lot because the components aren't very good to say the least. its lots of fun but it's heavy.
Similar Products Used: Never owned anything similar but I've ridden my friends bikes...250, sasquatch, steelhead, p.2 etc.
Bike Setup: dual 24"s-types with k-rads. Dmr pedals, dj urban fork, singlespeed, new grips, stripped seat. the rest is stock.

Strengths: great strong frame and wheelset, once pumped up the forks were great, brakes took no time to wear in, i still have the original tires on
Weaknesses: cranks are crap, i have not done much on this bike yet, the biggest drop i have done would be about 1 1/2 meters onto grass, and the bearings in the bb have been crushed and crank arms bent, grips ware out quickly and pedals are too slippery
Bottom Line:
this is a great bike, rock solid perfect for beginner to intermediate rider because it will never break, you couple put triple clamps on it and it would snap the forks before it cracked the frame, re-enfocring gussets all over so there are no weak parts.
Similar Products Used: my previous bike was a malvern star XC bike

Strengths: It looks cool, has strong rims, frame, and suspension, and nice grips (if you are using gloves). It doesn't weigh a lot, maybe not the lightest bike ever, but not heavy.
Weaknesses: pins on pedals need to be bigger, needs comfier saddle, needs better shifters.
Bottom Line:
This is an awesome bike for people who want to get in to dirt jumping and urban. It's an awesome bike for the value, and I'm extremely happy with it.
