guys...
please...
ITS NORCO!!!!!!!! I've got no idea how stupid U have to be to spend $7100 on NOrco...
It's $2000 more expoensive than any other DH bike on da market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And omfg ITS NORCO DH blablabla not Cannondale Judge,Nicolai Nucleon,Trek 88,Iron Horse,Mondraker or somethin' to cost that much!
I'm not sayin' it's piece of sit (but still lookin' like shit),it's just incredibly expensive bike!!!
and George-balderston is 200% right,nobody,who knows what da f*ck DH is,will buy it.

i actually really like it, im loving the new frame, and i like blue. Plus with that new frame if you wanted you could easly put a single crown fork on it i believe (not to shure tho). And that air shock? yeah who cares its not a coil? not like ur gonna be hucking some huge ass drop off a teamdh and if you are well thats your problem that shock will work smoothly down the mountain. I really like the 09's. Ive heard how people wanted a change from the old norcos and here you go!!!

i have rode both the air and the coil, and from my expierences of a dh racer, the coil DOES feel better, the air does bob a little more. but if your looking to loose weight, then just throw on a ti spring.

We're not haters, we're all just fed up with Norco's designs, Norco is a big player in the industry and as Canadians we're all proud of the company and their success but, they never seem to come up with something interesting. No VPP, nothing simple, just a lot of pivots, an old system and a rear wheel trajectory that makes the ride very very ordinary. If they think or expect us to think the ride is gonna be different just because the center of gravity is lower, they are fooling themselves.

Just 1 question for you Why fix something that's not broken? These VPP,etc. were made so they didn't have to pay specialized anymore for the "Horst link" but they are still can't match the performance of Horst link.

I really quite like it! I think the curves and the madly un-matching colours are just fantastic.

As for it being ugly, because it's a team DH bike, I imagine it's designed for absolute performance, not looking good.

shame 4 Norco, where is the old-gold geometry, air shock on DH wtf?? This looks not like sex 4 the eyes, it looks like 2 worms having a sex, and the price seems to be like celebrity staff. 4 $7100, I'll get marryed, I definetly prefer old school Norco stuff, a bit heavy but proper DH bikes.
