SC Super 8 | | Bike Setup: | Stock | | Bottom Line: | What can I say about a bike that comes full spec with all the sweetest DH components available at just over $4000? It's absolutely one of the best deals out there for a big-hit DH bike. The Norco Team DH is one of those bikes that will last a good 3 seasons without needing anything but new tires and brake pads. It's built like a tank and perfect for anyone who rides lift access mountains.
The suspension action is PERFECT. You could ride this thing off a 25 foot drop onto a boulder field, slam on the brakes, rail a berm then launch a 15 foot double and not even blink... no pedal feedback, no brake jack, fully active (all the time) and smooth as butter. It's that good. The bikes stiffness and true 4-bar suspension will make you a better rider. Beginners will instantly ride expert trails and experts will post faster times on their favorite trails. IT'S THAT GOOD.
Two (minor) quirks...
1. The BB is high so it won't rail turns like the Iron Horse or Intense. (but then your pedals won't get smacked on rocks as often as those other two either.)
2. Its no light-weight. It will take more abuse and go bigger than a 38lb "race" bike but it won't accelerate as quickly on tighter courses.
If you thought about getting this bike, don't think... buy it. It's that good.
