$940.00 | | Purchased At: | SBCoutlet | | Strengths: | Frame, Wheels, fork, cranks,and everything else on the bike. Super Awsome white and orange coloration. | | Weaknesses: | When I first got it I had a lot of problems with the hayes mech. brakes and the blackspire chainguide. The brakes just took awhile to adjust and work awsome now. The Chainguide and whole BMX bottom bracket is kinda annoying and would be alot nicer if it just came with a regular MTB bottom bracket, cranks and chainguide. Flat Bars | | Similar Products Used: | Evil imperial, 24 le toy. | | Bike Setup: | Stock except: Kona DH primo riser bars,Odi lock on grips, XT rear derailuer 9 spd and evil supercharger Bash ring. | | Bottom Line: | This Bike is unbelievable. It comes with so many excelant parts. It is set up really nice. I would switch out the mech brakes for hydros. This bike can do anything. Norco did an excelent job. I give it 5 chilis for value cause you cant get any bike like this for the price and 4 chilis for overall because of the problem with the chainguide and flat bars that came with it. If you do any type of freerideing, dirtjumping, urban buy this bike it can do it all it is so much fun. I would recomend this bike to anyone. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1500.00 | | Purchased At: | United Cycle | | Strengths: | Good stuff! Set it up right and your set! | | Weaknesses: | Idiotic mistakes, such as areas that need duct tape to avoid cable rub, i cant see anyway to stop it in at least one place (at the headtube) | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized P.3 | | Bike Setup: | 2002 4Hun frame, 2003 DJ1, Mavic D521 up front, Arrow FRX in the rear (24"), 8 inch avid in the front and 6 in the back with SD-7 levers, Planet X Goliath bars, Thompson laid back post, FSA Pig Headset, DBX 48 spline cranks, XT rear hub axiom 20mm front, DMR chainguide, Deore for all the shifting garbage. | | Bottom Line: | Besides the cable rub flaw, the frame is flawless. Just catch it early (i was misfortunate...) Also make sure you put a gaurd on both the seat AND chainstay. Plenty of tire clearance in the back, because if you require more clearance you are looking at the wrong frame; this is a dirtjumping frame. Take your massive tires elsewhere. It already takes a 2.6 which is pretty good IMO. You can set this bike up to so Dirtjumps, dual slalom, flickable freeride machine; anything you want. Excellent price for what you get with this frame. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

It rides like a full suspension, but without the rear shock. This bike gives you confidence and it kicks ass. Every part on the bike is INDESTRUCTABLE! no jokes. the size of the crank is massive, it must be like at least an inch in diameter. anyways, i would way perfer the hayes hydros instead of cables just becuase the cables are nowhere near hydros on performance. the bike looks dope and it can handle anything. buy this bike if you want a hardtail that can handle anything and will last forever. you can take my soul if this bike sucks | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
