$2479.00 | | Purchased At: | Oscars Source For Sports | | Strengths: | Awesome geometry for hills. Everything is so stiff, no flex at all. Handles drops over 10 feet without a flinch. Awesome for freeride and even a bit of trials. Easton RAD looks and rides sweet. | | Weaknesses: | Paint chips easily, needs Lizard Skin for sure. Singletracks come out of true sometimes. The dirtiest lookin handlebar i've ever seen so i replaced it along with the too long stem before i bought it. | | Similar Products Used: | Sasquatch, Rampage, Kona Stuff. | | Bike Setup: | Stock except for new FUNN bar and an 01 Axiom Shore stem. | | Bottom Line: | This is the best bike that i've ever ridden. I love it. If you don't have one go to your local Norco dealer and get one. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$649.00 | | Purchased At: | Shop | | Strengths: | This is by far the toughest frame I've ridden. Concidering how beefy the build is it's surprisingly light. I figure I'll be hammering on this frame for years to come. If you're into a tough bike that is made to beat on and are not too worried about the weight, this is the ride to have! | | Weaknesses: | Maybe more color options? Other than that, none. | | Similar Products Used: | Stumpjumper hard tail 98', Kona Chute. | | Bike Setup: | XT Disc brakes, Race Face Diabolus stem, Race face riser bar, Mavic 36 hole 521DH rims, XT drivetrain with XTR rear deraileur, Thompson seatpost, King headset. | | Bottom Line: | Buy one! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 11, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Whopper Drop | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Warranty - Norco | | Strengths: | Strong - The frame is surprisingly strong... extremely light when you pic it up ... but strong as any frame you'll ever ride. Light - I only received the frame, thus with all my other components (xc oriented) the bike is very light.... weighs almost the same as my old bike (98 torrent). Geometry - the frame is a medium.... very small compared to other bikes.... but i love it! its very nice to ride and not too small to travel far on! lowering the seat to do what ever you want... and then raising it to bike home... very versitile! Quality - nothing wrong yet! | | Weaknesses: | I'm not running disk brakes so there is no place to put my front derailer housing because of the v-brakes... the bike was designed for disk brakes! Paint - White..you can get it dirty quite fast! and the paint chips pretty easily.??? | | Similar Products Used: | 00'brody holeshot

$1225.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Doctor | | Strengths: | So far everything...the frame is rigid and solid. i'm loving the singletrack rims, have taken a few 3-4 foot drops no problem, love the funn seat..check out their web site, they have some cool stems and i never heard of them before i bought this bike. the axiom components are obviously made with durability in mind. love the raceface crank and bash guard set up. The dirt jumper 1 is super! | | Weaknesses: | weight... i knew it was gonna be heavy, but 33lbs...i guess that the price you pay for durability. The rapid fire deore shifters and the hayes brake levers just don't mix well. i'll go grip shift when they need to be replaced. I also cracked the hayes break lever right off on the third ride...it's composite material...they need to go aluminum. | | Similar Products Used: | none, this is my first "freeride" hardtail. | | Bike Setup: | Stock, check out the web site...it does say it has 8 inch rotors, but it comes with 6. | | Bottom Line: | Love it! is great in the air, precise handling on singletrack and will take a beatin! Buy it from canada, i paid $1225 from the bike doctor..it's a pain in the butt, and you have to wait two weeks, but for $400 it's worth it to me. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Handlebar should have more rise | | Similar Products Used: | GT Aggressor,Kona Chute | | Bike Setup: | Hayes 8"Hydraulic | | Bottom Line: | A great value for the components. This is a hardtail for the hardcore. If you're into freeriding and still like to climb hills and park benches then this bike is a must. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
