Hello

I'm currently in line waiting for the new 2022 Norco Bigfoot 1 Suspension XL - Blue/Chrome Fatbike from MSG on order...

Norco 2022 Fatbikes pushed back from October/21 to January/22

Does anyone know any information about Norco 2022 Bigfoot release date?

I'm very eager to find out what's going on?

A couple of people said Norco behind because of a Crank shortage?...

Waiting sucks... ☹

Hey man. My LBS is a norco dealer. Both the owner and head mechanic sold their ithaquas last spring and ordered new 27.5” norco fatbikes. Last they heard, they might show up in April. So they’ve bought bikes from other brands as stopgaps and are hoping they’ll show up for next winter. so, I wouldn’t hold my breath :-/

April...seriously... Horrible 😞
Its not only Norco. At the shop I work at we are still waiting for fat bikes from an other brand that we ordered 2 years ago.

Thanks for all the post 🙂🚲

Norco has an Embargo on their 2022 Bigfoot line.... nothing even publish on their website yet either so crazy....I have saved and waited years to get into Fatbikeing and now nothing available so horrible... ☹

I'm so eager to try the new 2022 Manitou Mastodon Pro Forks... I'm very excited... Just hate waiting...

Please Norco just give us a release date!

Happy New Year!
wow is the colour ever different from the other leaked photos. I gotta say the colour is disappointing compared to the leaked images.

I was told I would receive my 2022 Norco Bigfoot S 1 February 28th....I guess I will wait and see.

I will release photos and will make a full GoPro 10 video review of my Bigfoot S 1 Fatbike in March.

No... ☹

In fact two hours ago MSG got replied back from Norco saying delayed till May long weekend.... ☹

FML

I have been waiting forever now....MSG offered me other couple of cut down XL $2500. Bikes......I said... Will continue waiting for my 2022 Norco Bigfoot S 1 XL Fatbike.

If I actually get this bike in May I would be one of very few owners of the Bigfoot S 1 XL.

If I pull my money I lose money or I go with another downgraded bike not of my personal choosing... I won't be very happy.... I'm really stuck at the moment.

Now with the world on the brink of WW3 I might never get it this bike.

Have a great afternoon

bummer. sorry to hear. I haven't heard from the store that I'm supposed to be 1st in line; but I'm thinking of calling them to call it quits. After all I'm not loving the colour this year and I don't want to not love a bike I paid this much for. I'll live with my Farley for another year and reassess.

I have gotten calls from 3 other stores; telling me they have BF2/3 in if I was interested; so I'm sure they are trickling in. hope you get is sooner rather than later.

Looking forward to your review some day (y)

Looks great on paper.

Any word on weight?

I gave up. the store that had my name hadn't called me; I presume its because of the same reason as above for Toxic that it got delayed further. In the mean time; I've just decided to stay put with my Farley 5 and make some small upgrades. Got new better brakes, 12s Cassette and SLX/XT derailleur/shifter. make some small changes and hang on for another year and then see. I wouldn't mind trying the Bigfoot; but I really can't get past the blue; especially when the Trek fade is so bad ass. But I'm curios to see when Toxic gets his nonetheless.

2022 Norco Bigfoot S 1 XL
I waited a crazy long time for this bike....I really hope it's coming in May....this is my first Hardtail Fatbike and I plan on riding it as all-purpose bike. Planning swapping the tires out for Summer & Winter 45nrth.com tires.... I spent a small fortune on this setup including my full GoPro 10 setup. I believe this Hardtail Fatbike from Norco will be rare....I will give a full review in depth into the Norco Bigfoot S 1 XL.

I'm expecting the blue colour to have there sparkly blue paint a lot of their top Model bikes have sparkly paint and I don't want too much of a flashy bike.

I want to see this bike ride Blue Square & some Black Diamond trails!... I will push this bike to the limits all seasons!.....

I plan on travelling around Alberta in search for the ultimate riding experiences.... Hinton BikePark... Brand new Jasper BikePark are some of the few in plan. I live in West Edmonton area and will be riding all local trails. (Trail Forks & All Trails apps)

My friends and family say just get any old bike just to get RIDING... I say get the bike you want and deserve at the end of the day it's your ride!

I'm still thinking about buying a dedicated summer bike (2022 Norco Fluid FS 1 - XL 29er) if I feel the limits of the Bigfoot S 1 - XL.

This Bigfoot S 1 XL Fatbike was my first choice as my second choice was the 2022 Rockymountain Blizzard C50 XL (carbon bike) same price but with rigid Forks.....very lightweight Fatbike if anyone's interested. I personally want the Manitou Mastodon Pro Ext Forks!....... I believe the weight of Bigfoot S 1 XL "Mastodon Pro Fork" is around 33 lbs (15kg) making it quite heavy compared to the Bigfoot 1 XL "Carbon Fork"....

Any how still very excited for all my upcoming Bigfoot adventures.

Keep On Riding!

So I created my own Norco Bigfoot S 1 (Norco Bigfoot 1 2021 + Mastodon Pro Fork), which I bought slightly used from a LBS which was renting them.

Installed some Hodag 3.8" (fast rolling, low resistance) on it so I can use it in the summer as a MTB, and still have the Vee Avalanche studded for Winter rides.
