those curves are optimized for strength, while keeping a low stand-over, i also find the bends quite drastic, but then again, look around, and Norco has some of the lowest stand-over heights around, great if your short, or a younger rider (that is short), not like u can be tall and ride it though.
it looks sick. i love it. but doesnt it look a bit like if the forks compressed to the max, the tire would touch the frame? i could just be seeing things.
i think that may just be an optical illusion of some sort, but it appears that it may just fit right in there, mm to spare. but hopefully you dont bottom out
looks like shit and probably doesn't ride worth a shit
i like norcos but not the 2009 at all
not some thing i would ride doesn't look like a dh bike at all
more like the shores and six bikes
they just don't seem like a dh rig anymore
but hey you never know about these weird frame designs
just maybe it will work
but what has this world come too
wheres the beastly looks
but i mite just have to try one out
cheers
norco has really done it this time. there losing millions this year i can see it now..
compare this bike to say a gaint glory 1 or 0. tell me what is better.
you suck. just about all morco bikes look sweet. you can't say this is the only one you like cause the 08' shore 2 looks almost exactly the same. the new norco frames are all pretty much the same too. just do us all a favour and shut it
i think its to do with the whole weight idea cause that was all norco wanted this year like frig im 12 and i could have came up with nicer lookin bikes for this year in a month insted of a year
