Norco, cheaper, and you don't need a heavy duty bike, like shocks that take a beating cause at 120, that is almost too light.wakeboy21 said:im looking into buying a shore bike, i only weigh 120 pounds and parts breaking arent an issue.

i'd go with the better speced one, noroc is known for more heavy duty, and at under 150 pounds the norco could be out and up a little for your weightwakeboy21 said:thanks for your input! the bike i am looking at from specialized is a rockhopper pro
Up here in Canada, shore refers to the North Shore,Vancouver where freeriding was practically invented. It has numerous trails descending through old growth forest with many natural and man made stunts.Many of the top names in freeriding honed their skills on the shore. Also the testing grounds of Norco and Brodie bikes. FSRrzozaya1969 said:What's a Shore bike?
For the shore a Norco hardtail is going to be much better because it has slacker head angles. Norco was the first manufacturer to use slack head angles (except for some DH race bikes). The slacker head angle is much better in the steeps.wakeboy21 said:thanks for your input! the bike i am looking at from specialized is a rockhopper pro
