Including a chainstay wrap is mutually beneficial- you prevent chainslap and Norco hides the patent decal

so that means if you buy a norco frame your going to be paying a bit extra ontop of what you should in royalties to specialized? why not do what a heap of other companys who want a horst style movement do and have the shock driven by a rocker rather than a push/drive link

sk8erstrt... Norco is an amazing company who has had many GREAT and original ideas for years now. And this shouldnt come as a surprise to many people because most of their FSR frames have had the Specialized logo on them or years. And also, all the Norco brochures have a big Specialized logo (usually on the back page) that says the patent and such. It has been like this for years so i dont know what all the fuss is about.

haha. nice cover-up, norco. don't let anyone know where your suspension design came from

My Norco doesn't have that 'huge' specialized logo- I wonder if they 'asked' that be placed on all FSR rear-ends from 09 on.......

FSR/4-bar/Horst Link is a proven design, hence why it is licensed to other companies, no different than VPP or DW-Link. It doesn't mean a company is "lazy".

You've been torquing on that thing for a little while.....what are your thoughts?

bradwalton (Apr 14, 2009 at 13:10)

I just finished the review, it should be posted up any day now. Overall, good.

Guessing Norco is either too lazy to design something really original, or the FSR design is just that good?

sk8erstrt (May 5, 2009 at 11:01)

norco just doesn't have any original ideas so they have to copy others. pretty much like tons of other companies do as well
