Strengths: Good frame and rear suspention. Dirt cheep.Weaknesses: Deralures are friggin sh*t and the rims bend so easy, pedals crack, handle bars bend, fork locks, and cables break. The rear suspention arm bends.Bottom Line: I had to replace the forks, handlebars, deraileurs, back rim, stem, chain, rear suspention arm. Go figure.

Strengths: good rear suspention, good frame, good deralures, good rims and tires.Weaknesses: handle bars bend (stair gaps) and forks bottem out (DownHill)Bottom Line: kick arse bike accept 4 the forks and handle bars. may want to consiter an upgrade (depending on rider skill, im advanced so they didn't quite do the trick 4 me. I upgraded to dirt jam 3s.)
good 4 moderate freestyle, dirt jump, and DH (down hill)

Strengths: its built strong, and thats about it. cheap as dirt. looks like its expensive, even though its not.Weaknesses: only a lame 18 speed for a 2003 bike. extremly heavy. worst bar and stem i have ever used. fork is cheap rst absolute crap and stiffer then a rigid fork. rear shock is extremly hard to adjust. terrible shifting between gears. like a 10$ front/rear derailer.Bottom Line: for a 350 dolla bike. i guess thats what you should get. the bike almost wears out in a year, and if you dont have a chain stay, your whole swing arm gets tons of chain slap from going off only like 3 foot jumps. norco tried to make a cheap full suspension bike, they got the cheapest components that you could get, and the worst suspension after. i dont expect this 350 dolla bike to work like a 1500 dolla bike. but it should be a lot better then this. norco should just stick to bike that cost a gino or more. if your a beginner, then this is proboly the bike for you.

Strengths: ok for beginners, its got duel suspension for a low price, doesn't look like the frame would brake that fastWeaknesses: the rear suspension is squishy, not good pedaling efficiency, the front fork i tried hardly moved and the stem is ready for a canadian tire bike, i guess norco did their best to make a reliable beginner bike, thoBottom Line: for 300, i guess its ok, but honestly, this bike is meant for riding off curbs and 2 sets, a jump can brake the stem in half, there might as well not even be a fork , the only thing i can really relate to is plush 1 inch suspension :P, if u were a real biker (of any kind) u'd stop eating for a few days and get a hardtail thats worth about 500-600 (considering u dont want to spent that much). make sure u buy a norco, tho. they know their stuff.
Favorite Trail: don (its all i got out here!!)
