Video: Sam Blenkinsop & Henry Fitzgerald Sending on the New Norco Sight
Words: Norco
DISCOVER THE SCIENCE OF SEND
To create the new Sight, our engineers drew on the inspiration we find in the mountains surrounding our Canadian headquarters, and let it drive innovation that can only come from re-thinking the science behind the design.
By digging deep into how a rider’s centre of gravity impacts the bike’s performance, we used anthropometric data, proprietary kinematic software and a new range of setup parameters to precisely match each individual rider to their bike. It is a whole new perspective on bike design we call, Ride Aligned™.
The results? The Sight delivers maximum front and rear wheel grip on climbs and descents, maintains momentum and cadence in technical situations, and allows the suspension to move freely without absorbing drivetrain energy. This creates an All-Mountain experience that feels dynamic under rider input and provides a confident, stable chassis when charging through rough terrain.
It’s a completely new take on All-Mountain that’ll blow away your expectations – and shatter the status quo.
It’s the Science of Send.

New wheel spacing, trunnion mounted shocks, increased seat post diameter.
TBH Cant win this battle, just happy to have had some amazing rides on her while she lasted
