hmmm
double-you tee eff were they thinking with this one.... taking their aesthetic inspiration from pre-2005 Rocky Mountain or something?
christ! cant you buy these from tescos?!?! haha looks so so cheap, like k-rider92 said, only the forks and components are any good on this!
yeah does look very weird , I wonder how they manage to make such bad choices with the cosmetics .Norcos always looked good to me up until about 2 years ago , and yeah i know its not all about looks but cmon 
Hmm but wait. When I pay much $$ for my bike I want it to perform really well on track and it should look nice. OK it isn't all about design, but why it can't be a little bit less ugly? IMO Santa V-10 looks so cool and it performs great for me, so why Norco can't match design with performance?

i agree that it is an unattractive color scheme. it does have a very nice parts spec anyways, which is more important than looks imo. it would probably have costed more to get components for the bike color matched.

If this frame doesn’t perform better than everything else out there it must be unsellable - damn it's ugly
I can't believe Norco has approved this design for their Flagship Downhill model. Every year since 2003-2009 has constantly been a huge improvement, one after the other, and now for 2010, its destroyed :/.. all those years of improvement... for nothing? or 50 steps forward to go 30 back? whyyy??
i think the frame looks like a mess, personally. if you look at last years or the years before, the frame was magnificent. all of the frame tubes flowed perfectly. 2010's frame becomes confusing.
It's just poor photo quality. I have seen that bike 100 times in person and it looks nothing like that. people are just hating for the sake of hating and not having informed opinions. I like the fact it looks nothing like all the other cookie cutter bikes
i saw and test rode this bike at crakworx, and it looked different. it didnt have white rims or a white seatpost, and it felt sweet
That's ugly.
Hey we bult the bike oh wait we forgot the bottom bracket ahhh lets stick it here. That will work. YIKES!!

I've gotta be honest, I've got 2 Norco bikes, love 'em to bits, but there's no way I'd consider replacing my A-Line with this... what's happened to the Norco frame design? Specialized have taken the "swoopy" lines a step further and the new SX and Demo look sick, not sure what Norco have done here apart from hit the thing with the ugly stick. Looks heavy and like something you'd get from Halfords! Gutting......
looks like something out of the early 90s even 80's if they could design a bike with 9inchs of travel then. nice idea with the travel but the ugliest bike i have seen to date

ya i agree with k-rider it looks terrible accept fork and i would of thought it was a ccm if it wasnt for the components
