Strengths:great solid bike handles drops well i found it easier 2 drop than a demo 8 and itrs a solid strong bike i just love it! its a really good pedaling bike one of the easiest DH bike 2 pedal i'v ever rode its a trusty norco alright!
Weaknesses:none besides the center lock on the front rotor will loosen after a lot of hard use a lil tread lock (not perment stuff) fix that well... the holzfeller pedals suck u will literally wear them out i'd way rather block 8 aluminum pedals much stronger

Bottom Line:great bike easy 2 get use 2!...handles drops well the bike is solid in da air its a lot hard 2 flick around in da air for whips and flatties than my old bike but at least i lands nice!... its ok for dirtjumps havn't really campared many DH bikes on DJ's but it takes gettin use 2. i don't say i'd pay reg price for the bike but wat i paid i'd give its a 6 value rating. i'd recemend this bike for sure it lives up 2 its name team nort shore a wicked trail bike!!! makes drops seem really small!!!!

Submitted by james boldt a Downhiller from Calgary Ab
Date Reviewed: July 26, 2004
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $3000.00
Purchased At:Bow Cycle
Strengths:8 inch hayes hydro, will stop you on a dime. 888 on the front...thats all you have to say, saint everything...
Weaknesses:The O rings on the 888 failed second ride out...No warranty on em'. But Bow Cycle kicks, and gave em to me for Cost. the fox pedal definitely isn't the end all of shocks, but it does reasonable well, and Bob only happens a little bit when you mash like a friggen mad man,
Similar Products Used:Brody Devo, Bullet, Stinky
Bike Setup:Factory
Bottom Line:Besides a few starting problems and being a little heavy, but what can you expect for 8 inches. This bike blows everything away, for the price better components than anything else out there. This bike rides anything you point it at, soaks up 8's and 10's like they were speed bumps. I love it.
