Yeah no most DH frames average 10 with a shock the least I could see that at is 8lbs.

8 flat with shock is -very- light. 8 without shock is pretty good. Unofficial weight I found of it? 12.35 with shock.

not mine, I'm getting the same one though, thought it would be better then posting a white image picture from the site. i will be getting a DHX air on mine though.

I actually really like this bike, I recomended it to someone. It just looks like a really good qauality and nice dh bike. If I didn't fix my dh bike I would maybe look at getting a Wilson.

Anyways this is my bike, a 2004 Norco Atomik. Have had it ever since I got it, had it stolen, ruined it with paint and then got it fixed. Other than that I happen to think this is a pretty good bike for an older bike.

Preferably a new one, i can find them for around £1300. I haven't fully decided weather or not to get that or a Nox HC 8.0, as 8" travel might be more UK freindly with the majority of tracks being short sharp and technical rather than long full sprint world cup tracks.
