Norco Optic C1 2020 Mountain Bike Review

• About the Norco Optic C1The 2020 Optic is the bike that so many of our team riders, friends and staff were begging for: an aggressive short-travel sled that absolutely ripson descents but can get back up without a gondola. With 125mm of DH-inspired rear suspension, and 140mm travel up front, the totally re-imagined Optic embodies Norco‚Äôs progressive design andhandling that will provide clarity when your vision starts to blur from the speed, or your over-active tear ducts.Key FeaturesProgressive Design: The Optic uses Norco‚Äôs holistic approach to fit, geometry and suspension kinematics to achieve its playfully aggressivepersonality. The unique combination of our next generation of Gravity Tune, longer reach, slacker head tube angle and steep seat tube angleprovides a more forward weight distribution within a longer wheelbase. This allows more powerful pedaling, increased climbingtraction and added grip and control when descending so you can confidently attack the trail.Fully Custom Suspension: We created the Optic‚Äôs suspension design around a very specific shock, with spring and damper characteristicsthat would help define its ride. Unfortunately, that shock didn‚Äôt exist, so we asked RockShox to build us a fully customized Super DeluxeUltimate DH rear shock with everything we were looking for, and they delivered! We liked it so much, in fact, that we put it on every Optic inthe line!High Speed Fun By Design: By relaxing the Optic‚Äôs head angle to 65 degrees for stability, we fine-tuned the handling with reduced-offsetforks ‚Äì providing even more high-speed precision and predictability for a more aggressive trail attack.Equipped To Descend: To bolster the Optic‚Äôs descending prowess, each bike is equipped with 4-piston disc brakes, shorter seat tubes, longstroke dropper posts and aggressive knobby tires.About NorcoWith roots firmly planted in the world-class testing ground that is British Columbia, Canada, Norco bikes has grown into a global company delivering superior cycling experiences to everyone, everywhere.

Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices.
