So for 2015, the carbon vers will be 650B whileas the Alu will still be 26", hhm.

What do you guys think of the 2015 Alu 6.2's (black/green hulk colours) specs? Any real-world photos from owners to share? Thanks. Cool

Not bad, i would get rid of the wheels for flow ex's on hope hubs. install the charger damper system, and swap out the kage for a vivid r2c, or CCDB, or DHX 4, vector HLR.

All 2015 boxxers come with charger dampers

Oh yeah, so does CRC. Odd because I know someone who just bought an rc and it came with the CD.

If I'm totally honest, I don't like how the CD brakes anyway. It makes a massive difference to damping performance but the braking is shit

Looks like your Aurum 6.3 took a path similar to mine from stock form.

2014 Norco Aurum Fox 40 FIT DHX RC4 with Ti spring Raceface SixC crank Raceface NW chainring Raceface SixC 35 bars Easton Havoc 35 dmount stem Blackspire Der Guide Saint derailleur shifter Saint brakes Spank Spike Race 28 wheelset Maxxis DHf tires tubes.

Actually it's not Aurum 6.3 it's 6.1 i rebuilt it and painted matt black.

Here is another picture of it.

Great... thanks for the insight. Now to find any dealer (in AUS or CAN?) who can give a discount *and* willing to ship to me. I don't have local dealers here. Frown
