Favorite Trail:Anything that gets me out of the city
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Purchased At:Staff Deal
Strengths:A solid all around bike, sweet frame. Great place to start building up from if you don't like the spec of the LT 1 or LT 2
Weaknesses:Wheel set, X5 shifters, FSA cranks, fork is a little soft but I am carrying a little extra weight from the winter, find the rise of the bar a bit much.
Similar Products Used:older Specialized FSR enduro, Devincci Magma, not simular but I also own a 05 Norco A-Line that I have spec'd out to Team DH level
Bike Setup:Swapped out the X5 rear der and shifter for X9 I a had sitting in a box of spare parts, Raceface Dues XC cranks. Have a set of Mavic Crossmax SX, Thompson Elite post and and Elite X4 stem on order. The bike came with Sun SoS on shimano 475 hubs and I am not a fan of sun rims or low end shimano hubs.
Bottom Line:Being that I work at a shop that sells Norco I got a sweet deal on the bike, and of all the other bikes I could get the Norco was the one that suited me best. This is a great bike and worth the money at retail. If you are like me get the 3 and spec it up the way you want, or if you aren't a fan of up grading jump right to the 2 or 1 to quote a bike mag "Norco ride lighter then they are"

Favorite Trail:nepaug
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $2000.00
Purchased At:ordered from LBS
Strengths:first time out of box and I was blown away by the beauty and craftmanship in the welds.great standover with the hydroformed tubes...and this baby can climb and jump,great sofar...
Weaknesses:wish I had the dough for the LT1 or 2...none so far,with all bikes you need some time in the saddle to really get the feel. Avid brakes took me some time to get used to but I am liking them more each time I ride
Similar Products Used:04 Kona Coiler(66light up front,Avalanche DHS rear)
.243 FR Hardtail
Bike Setup:stock out of box
Bottom Line:...as stated before the bike is too new to really have the full appreciation of the ride, I'll keep you posted. But in just this short time the bike really has kicked some a--the paint and burlyness of the frame are definitly a conversation starter.You don't see many Norcos around CT but I am glad I have one. The bike wieghs around 34lbs but she climbs great, and she picks up speed fast on the downhills.Coming off '07 with a huge injury that knocked my whole season out,I wanted all around performance and this Norco has satisfied my '08 needs.
