i actually really like all the norco bikes, ive heard from many people that they wanted norco to change there frames and such. Well there you go, they have changed there frames. I personally really like these new frames, and i also believe that this team downhill has been put together very well. I like the color choices on some of the bikes. Its good to see norco branching out and risking it with new ideas.

Its sad to see a norco with a rockshox fork. Keep with tradition and go back to the best fork manufacturer Marzocchi. And i think the best frame was the 08 A-Line Park Edition. I think they were smoking something when they came up with this.Looks like a cruiser bike. I love norco but this is sad.
