Price Paid: $2500.00
Strengths:built like tank but feels like it pedals itself, strong, stable in downhills, looks really nice
Weaknesses:none
Similar Products Used:Giant reign
Bike Setup:M888, Formula oro k24 (200 front & rear), Truvativ cranks
Bottom Line:This is a great freeride bike even allround bike. If you're scared about weight - don't. These bikes are fast and you can ride uphill without problems and to be down pretty fast :) Also price/value is amazing. I don't need other bike and if I would buy one I'm sure it will be NORCO.

Duration Product Used:6 months
Purchased At:winstanleybikes.com
Strengths:cost me £999 new excellent bike. very well built. take anything you throw at it. eats drops. even on flat it just makes you ride faster its the best choice i ever made. ever part is perfect for the bike. its just so well made.
Weaknesses:the forks. the drop offs work fine. its just if you pull your bars up sharply the forks will make a clang sound. no damage or fault its just how there made. its just the sound that get a bit annoying but they work really well
Similar Products Used:it was a toss up between this and a kona stinky. the stinky was to small so had this. after riding my mates stinky im really glad i had this
Bike Setup:dmr v8 peddels. avid juicy 5 brakes. hope pro 2 rear hub. 7.4 inch rear travel<< i changed all this cos it was just what i liked all the stock stuff is still great
Bottom Line:this bike should be another £800 ontop.
if you really dont like the forks making that sound. some bommers will do just the same with more travel and no noise. great first buy if you want to get into freeride or downhill

Favoriate Trail:Anything downhill
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $1900.00
Purchased At:Cheap Seats
Strengths:Excellant components, gorgeous bike, good value, good for anything.
Weaknesses:The pedals that came with it are boring as are the grips, and the fork rebound is very hard to adjust, otherwise, that's it!
Similar Products Used:Fluid 3.0 with marzocchi 888 and manitou swinger 4-way.
Bike Setup:All stock, except mosh bike pedals, and new lock on grips.
Bottom Line:Excellant value, very strong bike, good for any ride. Heavy for going up hill, but it is geared to be able to do it anyway. Beautiful bike, smooth ride, pro pedal works wonders, love to ride it! If you are looking for a do-anything bike, look no further!

Favoriate Trail:Mount 7 BC and Kicking horse resort
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Purchased At:$2300.00 canadian
Strengths:The front fork (7 inches) and back fork (8 inches) are extremely plush and smoooth on downhill demon runs. The frame geometry is not too bad either. Componetry is awesome and the 2006 hayes nines are amazingly fast and responsive
Weaknesses:The tires that come with it are not extremely big(2.5) i like to have a bigger tire on front.
Similar Products Used:I think that this bike is just as good as the shore 2 or 1 (its just a hell of a lot cheaper)
Bike Setup:Totally stock except for a bigger tire on front
Bottom Line:Hey there, amazing for freeride and especially shore (hence its name) I havent tooken it on anything too harsh yet but its performing awesome so far. Hope you guys come out and get it. Even if i had paid full price for it(about 2500 canadian) I think it would be worth it. This bike is undestructable!
