anyone who has a norco thinks that everyone should ride a norco


yeah......whats you point, maybe you should ride a Norco, then you will belive it to

as great of bikes norcos may be, theyre not for everyone. which goes for everybike in the world


lol i know, i don't like Norcos that much actually, only some of there street bikes, and some of their fully's. i would much rather ride a Transition if they lowered their prices

theyre not that expensive. and with the great warranty and service they have it will cost a lot less to maintain the bike, so in the long run u could potentially save lots of money and riding time Smile

it would be nice to have energy left when you get to the place your riding, instead of spending it all bikign there

if money is a concern get the Reign X, if not look at the iron horse sunday elite...
if you want Slope Style though then neither of these will do that good

why would you buy a bike like the Bighit or G-Spot to ride XC...thats not what downhilléfreeride bikes are for so obviously they wont be good for XC

i've ridden tails for days on my 50 lb ride just to hit the occasional drop, its just so much funner on a big bike and yeah sometimes you gotta push it uphill but who cares thats not the point, all i'm sayin is you can ride as long and as far as you want on anything you just won't win an XC race
