TURTLE PURPLE Date Reviewed: December 14, 2012 Strengths: NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT IS ITS PURPLE WITH DIRT JUMPER 3 FORKS. ANYWAY ITS THE BEST ALLOY HARD TAIL I HAVE EVER RIDEN. NOT QUITE THE SAME AS A GOOD CROMO HART TAIL. BUT I FIND THAT MY BIGFOOT DECENDS BETTER THAN MY FIVE INCH DUALLY MONGOOSE TEOCALI. BRAKES A LITTLE NOISY BUT WORK GOOD. I HAVE UPGRADED TO XO GRIP SHIFTERS WITH F AND R X7 SRAM SHIFTERS.. THAE SUNN RIMMS ARE BULLET PROOF EVEN IF THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE TYRES WITH PLASTIC TYRE LEVERS.. Weaknesses: FIRST THING I CHANGED WAS THE GRIPS AND PEDALS.. THE ONLY THING HERE IS THE WEIGHT BUT HEY I HAVENT BROKEN IT YET .. Bottom Line:

moe Date Reviewed: August 1, 2012 Strengths: its strength is everything !!!! Weaknesses: to me the bike has no weaknesses , it has dj4 forks , 185mm disc brakes and hussefelt almost everything on it and its just truly an amazing bike , i take my bigfoot to the skatepark all the time because it has a frame that could be for downhill , freeriding and even park , ive switched my front sprocket to a one speed but left an 8 set of gears in the back but overall the bike is awsome !!! buy the bike if your looking for something that will blow your mind !

from Dingwall, Nova Scotia, Canada Date Reviewed: August 12, 2011 Strengths: Frame, Tyres, Rims, Headset, Handlebars, Fork (at times), Everything except weaknesses Weaknesses: Dont try 4 foot drops on this, like me, they will bottom out, which dont sound good. The derailleur likes to bounce around through the trails, but get a chain tensioner, DJ 4's when not tightened, bottom out 75% just when peddaling. Tighten them. Brakes Kinda suck, can squel if you do not adjust them, sandpaper them, or wipe down the brakes with rubbing alcohol, avid juicy 3's need lots of mini adjustments everyday, Get Windcutter Aligator's, Same performance,no squaling, no over heating Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Local Trails Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $780.00 Purchased At: halo-master_chief@ho Similar Products Used: Norco Bigfootv 2005, Norco Wolverine 11' Bike Setup: Stock, except DH Wellgo Flats, Raceface headset, Carbon Highj Riser Handlebar DH, Yeti Handgrips

from Calgary Date Reviewed: July 6, 2011 Strengths: Everything is its strength! Weaknesses: Its a little bit heavy than I thought but its nothing, the Grips worn out so fast, and the pedals studs get lose pretty fast. so before you use it make use every studs are really tight so you wont lose one. Learn that from the experience. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: C.O.P. Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1030.00 Purchased At: BowCycle Similar Products Used: None. Bike Setup: Just the stock, but planning to upgrade the pedals, grips, handle bar.

from Australia Date Reviewed: October 23, 2010 Strengths: The bike geometry, centre of gravity and balance is excellent for this hardtail free-ride. It's very easy to handle, takes punishment well and the fat betty tyres while "phat", ride suprisingly good on-road. Hydraulic brakes not too bad. Weaknesses: front shocks are a little "spongy", could do with an upgrade. not a big fan of the "branding" all over the bike, but nothing like a can of paint that wont fix this. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: free-ride Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Brisbane, Queensland Similar Products Used: Giant & Trek Bike Setup: stock

from Surrey, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: January 3, 2010 Strengths: This review is for the original Norco Bigfoot circa 1987. I bought the frame set for around $60 from a cycle shop in downtown Langley which is no longer in business. The Frame was very strong and took the abuse of the day which included jumping, original downhill racing at whistler, XC etc. It was reasonably light with the cool oversize tange 4130 cro-mo frameset. It replaced my Norco bush pilot. Weaknesses: None really, had as much fun or more on that bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Switchback, Alouette Mtn Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: Some cycle shop in L Similar Products Used: 1984 Norco Bush Pilot, 90 Trek 7000, 95 Stumpjumper M2, 08 Trek fuel ex 8. Bike Setup: The bike had the top mount deore thumb shifters, Araya rims, etc.
