2012's are shorter than the 2014-15's. I'd go large on a 2012 at 6 ft. But there's so much more than just height to consider. I ride a medium 2014. At 6'1.

How do you feel on the bike? Coz, I have large 2014, and I think it's little to long.. I'm allso 6.1.

I find it perfect depending on the terrain. In the really gnarly roots and rocky trails, I wish I had the extra length. But for bike parks with lots of flowy/jumpy trails, it feels awesome! I spend most of my summer months riding Silver Star, which is mostly flowy trails, so I went with the medium (Also, there were no Larges left in Canada when I bought my bike). It's still great on the rough stuff, but I ride flowy more often. Also, my height is all in my legs, my back length is similar to people shorter than me.

I am 6' on a medium 2014. Was on a large 2013 previously. Switched stem to a 55mm from a 45mm. The reach feels almost identical on both version with my setup.

The 2014 in large is LARGE. Forget running 800mm bars with it unless your a tall ape.

Was running demo M, and yes, aurum is quite big. Im running stock bar, but I'm going with shorter stem...

That's odd, we already have a couple 2015 alu Aurums. According to the Norco rep Carbon Aurums should be in around March. But I don't know if I trust him considering my Range was supposed to come in early January, and now he's saying late February or March, but a shop an hour away already has them... Madder

Yen the local shops only just got the 6.3 Alu......23rd for the 6.2 and I've had a deposit on one for a few months. Kinda weird as I live 25 mins away from NORCO office and warehouse in Coquitlam! My LBS isn't great at keeping me in the loop.
