Hi, i was thinking about buying a used 2009 norco six three but i was kinda curious whether the lower 6 inches of travel will be able to get the job done, i will be doing typical freeride, also will the small frame be able to cater my size 5,6" probably grow to about 5,9".
The small will be fine, I'm five ten on the medium and it's fine, these bikes can handle anything, you'll love it they are also very versitile.


Okay well im looking at two bikes right now, either the six or an iron horse 7.3, im kinda not sure which to get. The only problem with the iron horse is weight, how much does your six weigh?

Baught mine used it's the same one you want, I'm the same size you ar and was the same size when I bought it. Shoot me a message in my inbox, I'm on norco's grass roots team and I worked at my norco dealer for a while. Just send me a message, I know how these work and what size all the parts are.

My 2007 Norco Six 2. I spent the spring getting it beefed up for a BC trip with new Totem fork & DHX 5 coil shock. Upgrades worked nicely, we rode Kicking Horse, Silverstar, & Whistler.

Going to strip her down and put her back into trail mode Smile

Totem feels really nice on the Six. with 7" up front and 6.5" in the back, the bike feels really balanced still and plush as hell Smile
