2012 Norco Shinobi 2

This Norco shinobi is one of the best 29ers out there. it will happily climb up any hill you point it at and will happily fly down flowy and technical down hill.

I purchased this bike 12 months ago after never owning a 29er was interested to see how it would ride compared to a 26 inch wheeled bike. I have to say the bigger wheels make a great difference. Of coarse its not quite up there with the full downhill rigs but it is so stable over every root, rock and jump and takes it all in its stride. this is a great bike for any one. there are a few small scratches as usual with bikes and one paint chip on the swing arms (shown in photo) but none of this changes the grweat performance of this bike. It has happily shot down downhill tracks in bike park wales and aston hill as well as long XC loops all around england.
