Date Reviewed: August 18, 2004 | | Favorite Trail: | i dunno, someting in the river valley | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$350.00 | | Purchased At: | Sourse for sports in st.albert | | Strengths: | its built strong, and thats about it. cheap as dirt. looks like its expensive, even though its not. | | Weaknesses: | only a lame 18 speed for a 2003 bike. extremly heavy. worst bar and stem i have ever used. fork is cheap rst absolute crap and stiffer then a rigid fork. rear shock is extremly hard to adjust. terrible shifting between gears. like a 10$ front/rear derailer. | | Similar Products Used: | nothing, this think is bottom of the line. | | Bike Setup: | stock, as you wouldent wanna soup this poj. | | 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. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 4, 2003 | | Favorite Trail: | don (its all i got out here!!) | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Purchased At: | cycle solutions(kingston rd.) | | Strengths: | ok for beginners, its got duel suspension for a low price, doesn't look like the frame would brake that fast | | Weaknesses: | 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, tho | | Similar Products Used: | haro extreme x2, a bunch of crap bikes | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom 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. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
