Strengths: Strong bike, looks great and does what ever I want it to. Love that I can jump with it and take it out on trails. Really the perfect bike for meWeaknesses: The BB that comes stock is garbage. I broke it within 2 days, and have already had it replaced twice. The brakes aren't great but they get the job doneBottom Line: Solid Bike! Bought it because I heard it was indestructible. Didn't really live up to that since the BB broke 2 days in. But I abuse my bikes and no other components have gone. Still more fun every time I ride it, Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a bike they can jump and ride everywhere else.

Strengths: Strong,
REALLY LIGHT frame
decent build
alright for tricksWeaknesses: Dropouts get eaten away from the qr/bolt on
stock 4-hun components are most liekly to break.Bottom Line: I bought this bike used in a mint condition.
I blew the rear wheel within a year,
2 new headsets
brakes were bled 2 times
hub always came loose
Ive changed everysingle thing on the bike since i bought it.
Here is some photos of all the changes http://maksimbike.pinkbike.com/album/Wallpaper/
Give me a message on there if you got any questions.
Otherwise my 2009 Norco 4-Hun was pritty great as a first bike. I would reccomend one, preferably with upgraded parts, as norco generally makes all their stock bikes with crappy components.

Strengths: Frame is awesome, I built the bike myself have had a P3 and stuff stock but I wanted to build something myself. So I did, but from for $'s this was the only option.Weaknesses: Since it's an 08 frame I would have to say it's the paint job not because it's crap, but because it's beautiful.Bottom Line: If you want something you can handle take all the punishment you can throw at it then this is the bike. Do it!

Strengths: Awsome specs super strong frame, sick geo, and nice componentryWeaknesses: heavy - but its wikid for Dj get use to the weight worth it;)
Brakes - ew i dont like the hayes
Forks - super strong yes but heavyBottom Line: If you add up the price of frame and all the componentry you can't go wrong. I love this bike and norcos in general are build awsome (and warranty is great too!) even though it is heavy its tough as nails ive been heavy DHing with this and literally beat the poop outta it and it just keeps askin for more. Change the brakes right away and if money allows lighter forks(pike, 36, some manitou) its awsome!

Strengths: I love this bike. The Marzocchi Dirt Jumper One fork is excellent. This bike is good for both Dirt Jumping and Street riding. It says that it is 39 pounds on the Norco website but when your riding, it feels a lot lighter.Weaknesses: I can't think of any.Bottom Line: This bike is perfect for a rider that likes both Dirt Jumping and Street riding. The "Atom Lab Trail Pimp" rims are strong and can with stand anything. This bike is the best purchase I ever made.

Strengths: I have owned the 2002 4hun for a little over three years now, and I have to say its still the best bike i have ever rode. My friend bought one the year it came out, my Magma got stolen, and this bike just fell into my lap, i couldent be happier with it. I like the orriginal more than the newer versions, the new angles feel screwy, and you cant beat the orange and white paint job.Weaknesses: Lets face it, hayes first gen mechanicals suck more balls than, well you get the picture. I swtiched out to avid long levers, and all is cruisy. Only othe complaint is that when you are riding street and trials, the chain guide crushes the orriginal derailer cable mount. I had to go to a solid casing from the bb to the derailer.Bottom Line: There is nothing better. Buy one, steal one, whatever you have to do, just get your filthy hands on this bike because you have never riden anything that comes close.

Strengths: what can i say... i ride this bike over all sorts and it handles anything, a really sweet paice of kitWeaknesses: none come to mind at allBottom Line: I've just landed an 8 foot drop, that i had only thought i could do an my a-line (ok i'm a big norco fan), it rides really well, lovely and stiff, strong as a strong thing, and not too heavy, no-one who has ridden it has had a bad word to say.

from OntarioDate Reviewed: August 5, 2004
Strengths: The 4hun is burly enough for some hardcore DH racing, so decently sized hucks...but most importantly if you don't live close to stuff like that, this bike is perfect for finding some street/urban right outside your house. i fell in love with the shorter chainstay which helps in learning mannuals, and you can't complain about is coming stock with the saint drivetrain....absolutely beautiful.Weaknesses: my only SLIGHT complaint is that 2004 marzocchi dirt jumpers are a little bit heavier (but stronger) that the previous year. But the 16' chainstay helps getting the front end up....so i guess it cancels out. oh, i almost forgot...change the pedals.Bottom Line: buy it, borrow it, just somehow ride it. The bike felt like an extension to my body after the second ride. So I hope you will be as pleased as I am

from cobourg ontario canadaDate Reviewed: April 1, 2004
Strengths: this bike si a tank. The design and angle of the frams is set perfect for dirt jumps and comes with top notch components. the saint cranks and derailer are super strong and have already taken alot of abuse.Weaknesses: the bike was creaking when i first got it but after tightening all of the bolts and pedals it works like a charm. the fork rebounds extremly slow and there isnt much difference between the slowest and fastest rebound.Bottom Line: this bike is meant for alot of abuse and norco once again lives up to its name. this is my second norco and it appears to be the right choice. the square to round tubing is the solid. i cant get enough of riding this bike. i ride it every were. this bike brings the person riding it to new hights in riding. amazing bike for the price. (nothing better)
