Strengths:
Very light frame!
Weaknesses:
None.
Similar Products Used:
Norco carbon hardtail.
Bike Setup:
Sram XO shifters. X9 deraillers, RF carbon cranks, RF carbon bar, Mavic tubeless wheels
Bottom Line:
Norco did their homework in this frame. It is a replacement for their last hardtail racing frame which I had replaced twice for various quality issues... This new frame does it all - sprint very fast, climb effortlessly, absorb a fair amount of vibrations when going downhill. It's a perfect xc race frame. Builds up very light!
