Words: Norco BicyclesBryn Atkinson and Scott Secco teamed up to create an inside look at Bryn's notorious speed and style.

See The New Optic For YourselfThough the new Optic shares its name with the past all-rounder trail platform, there isn’t a single aspect of the new bike that hasn’t been examined, re-addressed and overly-scrutinized from previous versions. With this new bike, there is a clear priority put on creating a short-travel trail bike with the agility and confidence riders need to manage speeds that usually overwhelm bikes with this amount of suspension travel.
We have partnered with select Western Canadian dealers on
October 15 to provide you with first-hand access to our new high-speed, short travel trail bike. Find it at Norco JH (North Van), Kinetik Cycles (Coquitlam), Caps Bicycles (Langley), Kelowna Cycle, Bow Cycle (Calgary), Western Cycle (Regina). Head over to these Norco dealers from noon ‘til close to see the bikes and talk with their staff and a Norco Sales Representative about the clarity that the Optic can bring to your trail rides.
Additionally, Optic Demo Events will be held South of the border 10am-4pm on the following days: October 19 (Fanatik Bike Co, Bellingham), October 26 (Project Bike, Bend), October 27 (Blazin Saddles, Sisters), and November 2 (Sandy Ridge Parking Lot, Brightwood).

@skeeple: yeah! you´re right :o he´s such an amazing shredder
Now only if I could find 2 degrees steeper Seat Tube Angle Effective.
More interested in his riding breakdown which was great.
wicked good release video though.
At 0:25, interesting detail of rear wheel being bend and twisted.
But man -- the skidding kills me, especially when you've got a role model like Bryn encouraging you to 'leave your mark'.
Do we really not, as a group, understand the impacts of skidding? Wider blown out trails, braking bumps, blown berms, etc...?
Seems really irresponsible and short-sighted to showcase that sort of thing.
