$1300.00 | | Purchased At: | pinkbike | | Strengths: | the bike is amazing , its GREAT for downhill it stays on the ground at all times ( unless you hit a jump ofcourse ) VERY plush , the bike is also great for freeride but it is very plush and bottems out alot but its still amazing , for cross country it good but the bike is really heavy.. dirtjumps are fun and great but if theres too much lip it just absorbes all of the lip... and street no doupt ..its pretty bad... | | Weaknesses: | weight. my bike weights arround 50 pounds ( you could make it lighter) | | Similar Products Used: | team dh, v10 | | Bike Setup: | 2005 norco vps a-line,05 888rc,snafu pedals,26" front double track and a 24" double track in the rear.hfx 9's,dhx 3.0 | | Bottom Line: | the bike is bombproof. throw it at anything and its gonna treat you good the frame is literaly impossible to snap you could do jaw drop and the frame would survive ( probly no tthe other parts on the bike ) but i think that this bike is great and deserves a 5 out of 5 . | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | craigslist | | Strengths: | The weight of the bike deffinantly makes up for this. The park is a tank and nothing feels loose or poorly built. I has all the travel you need to huck big drops and jumps. | | Weaknesses: | I bought it used in immaculate condition and a few of the main problems i do not have with this. Some people complain about rim stregnth being not so good but i have a different set on that are better and more durable. I also have a need set of cranks because those tend to come loose on the stock set. Other than that, the bike is extremely solid and these things shouldnt shy you away from this bike. The rims may seem "crappy" when you have ridiculously strong bombproof rims they make these days. | | Similar Products Used: | kona stinky, transition dirtbag | | Bike Setup: | marzocchi 888 vf2, fox dr 3.0, scram x7 derail and shifter, hussefelt cranks, forget the rim brand (not too familiar with bikes yet) | | Bottom Line: | Diffinantly worth the money paid. I feel confident taking it off a 15 foot no problem and the only thing holding me back more is fear. The bike is literally a tank and is super solid. The weight doesnt seem like a problem to me but your probably better off pushing it up the hill than riding up it. BOTTOM LINE: GO BUY IT! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Originally bought the bike cheap for the frame, fork & geometry kept the shock and tried differ'nt combo's of spring rates settling for 600# on the rear and xtra firm upfront.
Upgrades to the drive train smoothed out the shifting, and adding a top-notch set wheels sets this apart from the store bought Aline...... This bike now slays, just point and shoot | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2550.00 | | Purchased At: | Darlings Island Bike Shop | | Strengths: | Beautiful frame, very nice parts for the price. it was set up perfect for me almost right off. the 888vf felt tuned for me. 9" of travel feel nice at high speed. one hing i noticed as soon as i was on the bike for a week is how it corners. its like an F1 car. i had a Bighit dh before this, and it cornered like a truck that was past its prime. get at least the frame if you can, people really shouldnt bash this sweet ride | | Weaknesses: | Wish it had the team dh dropouts but its ok, 12mm is 12mm. shimano drivetrain. deores about the same price as an X-7 set up i think and even if not i would have paid an extra 100 bucks for it to have the sram gear. wheels and chain guide were on the level but i ould have prefered something more. they have however fixed these complants on the 06 model. | | Similar Products Used: | 01 Raliegh Smokin DH, 02 Specialized Bighit DH, 04 Norco Six. | | Bike Setup: | Frame: 05 norco Aline

| | Bottom Line: | this bike is faster than anyother dh bike norco has but out other than the team DH. and since its the same frame as the team, theres a good reason for that. it made me faster and more confident than any other bike i had before. it paves the ground like its flat and like i said, corners like a bike that would cost twice what this one was. Bravo norco for really coming though with a sweet package. the first 2 alines were acceptable but this truly a class in all its own. theres not a bike in the same price range that could even touch the a-line in speed/spec/the ability to race a a high level and kick a** at it | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

The paint is crap and chips off easily, took a week to strip all the paint off and polish.
New INA bearings fitted with proper seals rather than the shielded bearings fitted.
Good bike for the money but the Shore is a better option as for £600 more the part spec is miles better. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$3080.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Addiction | | Strengths: | Strong.
Plush.
Crazy Cheap.
Ruggedly Handsome (unlike owner).
No parts that scream out for immediate replacement.
8 x 8 feels almost bottomless. | | Weaknesses: | Stand-over is a bit high.
Didn't come with a bashguard and consequently I smashed a chainring.
You'll need to fit a front derailleur and second chainring if you freeride.
Fork sounds likes a puppy's squeeze toy.
Frame/Rear Shock creaks like the stairs in a haunted house. | | Similar Products Used: | 1/2 a day test riding Kona Stinky, Stinky Dee-Lux, Cannondale Gemini 2000 + 3000, but none of these bikes is very similar at all. | | Bike Setup: | Stock standard - I changed the 38T ring for a 32T ring because I was freeriding alot and couldn't afford to fit a double, but the ring got smashed (no bashie) so the 38T is back. | | Bottom Line: | The bike is a bit on the heavy side, but then having to buy a new frame when your new bike cracks and the manufacturer won't cover the warrantee can be pretty f*cking heavy too.
I had no problems pedaling it with the smaller chainring, but you'd want to fit a double if you were doing much climbing - which this bike is perfectly capable of.
You can ride it right over the top of just about obstacle so skill becomes optional - which is lucky for me...
I can't figure out how Norco make a profit on these units.
5 Chilli's all round because none of the weaknesses is any more than skin deep and it's makes me ride like I won't hurt myself.

Also it busy hopes and manuals like a dream once you are up to speed. | | Weaknesses: | Single bolt seat post, tires, stem, chain guide, cranks, rear shock(fox sucks), and any uphill riding, rear linkage (it can only fit short piggy backs on shocks) | | Similar Products Used: | Shore, Team NS, BB7, super 8 | | Bike Setup: | Small 04 A-line frame, Fox Vanilla RC(crap, soon to be 5th element), 888RT (soon to be 04 shiver), fuun serial killer stem, EA50 bar, Double track 24" rear rim hooked to a 2.6 gazzi, 26" supbra hooked to a 2.8 michi, double bolt seat post, FSA BMX cranks, luxan edition NS-1 chain guide, intense lock on grips, truvativ pedals, hayes 8" brakes, 20mm dj front hub, 12mm dj rear hub, race face BB | | Bottom Line: | If you like to customize bikes and do it cheap this is the one for you.

$2200.00 | | Purchased At: | novara | | Strengths: | Very stiff and solid construction as a powerful feeling when hit the slopes(going down!)
It reacts very well to every rocks or obstacle on the ground without loosing the line. Super soft landing, very effective to drive it in bunny hop style, jumping all over.
good cornering compared to a standard downhill, a good mixture of a specialistic downhill and an extreme freeride. | | Weaknesses: | The back system is working powerfully only on hard it, when driving trough rocks, you do not use the complete back travel. Is much more easy then to get air, and can be advantage foe some kind of drivign styles.
You can feel that at Norco they keep it strong, the weigth makes that hard to pedal, but not impossible and it strength your muscles!! | | Similar Products Used: | Kona stinky dee-lux 02,Bullit 03, ancillotti de tomaso.
| | Bike Setup: | 888r front, alex supra rims, kenda tires | | Bottom Line: | It is not the do all bike. Is an extreme extreme freeride, so more down than uphill. Is great if you love to go down and you do not plan to pedal it too much uphill.
It is damn fun I would say go for it, more than a downhill specialistic if you are not competing it has more options. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Coming down is another matter this things just accelerates at the mearest hint of a downslope and smashes through or over anything in its way, I put the Hope brakes on it as it needs some serious slowing down from the daft speeds you will end up riding at. Once the forks break in the suspension action front and rear is well balanced, real plush and very hard to bottom. The stock components are good and should all last a long time, the frame is well engineered, built and finished.
In my books £2000 well spent | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

i rode it around, and while its murder on the climbs, its built for one thing, and one thing only. bombing runs!!!
the hayes hydro brakes kick major booty, a much welcomes upgrade over last years mechanicals. the box guide is a dream and cranks are meaty as. not saint, but still tough as a brick thunder box.
the saddle hieght makes it hard to stop for long periods of time, but who stops on a dh trail?
all in all, ths is one sweet bike. bit heavy, but hey, norco always adds more materials than they should. and we thank them for it everyday.
The 888RTs are super nice, and switching the rear coil for a 6way swinger might be a good option.
killer bike, for a sweet price. it dont get much better than the Aline folks. buy it, or youll regret it later on. trust me. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
