 They're making two versions for 2010. This is the cheaper of the two. This is the nicer one.

 like the bike hate the matching forks + frame
  • 2 1
 True dat. I hate when bike companies get custom forks. It just loses visual appeal (in my mind), and resale value.
  • 2 0
 yep, often looses some appeal, and resale value is definitely affected. at the same time, sometimes it boosts resale because its rare and people want a cool coloured fork. i may be wrong, but i think this one will drop in value...

 The majority of Norco's custom painted forks as ugly as shit. Some cool one-offs though, are the green totems that came on shores, and the pink 888's, and I can't remember where they came from.

 well, theres a bomber 55, C4 blackspire bash, Juicy 3's, i think x5 deraileur, Sun equalizer 29, Maxxis ardent and some gravity crank. note that these are subject to change and may not be correct because im just looking at a pic...

 Sick paint job. One of them better be affordable, unlike the current one that is almost $2000 just for the frame.

 how much-$3000, norco's prices have gone way up

also look how tiny those rotors are!

 Its $3000? Or are you talking about the 09, where did you see that. That is f*cked up if they price it that high. I would buy it in a heart beat if it was $2500. For $3000 I rather get an 09 bass.

 i'm saying norco is really expensive and their prices have not stopped going up so this years lower modle will probly be overpriced at like 3 grand
  • 1 0
 I agree.

 not true...the Team DH was 7200 last year and this year its only 5700. im thinking that this beauty will be between 2500 and 3000

 EDIT: the Empire 5 SE is $4000, this one is $2700

 Sweet.

 Hey, DirtMerchant, I talked to our local Bike shop, and they said this Empire is gonna be priced right around 2500. You said "I would buy it in a heart beat if it was $2500.", so unless that was just talk, you better head down to Fanatik, cause you don't want your heart to stop beating for too long.

 Low budget? By the looks of that spec, this empire might be affordable.

 i wonder why norco is choosing to use maxxis this year though
  • 2 0
 Cause they're better. lol
  • 1 0
 i hink this one retails for around 2000, so its a good bike if you have a low budget, i know im getting one Big Grin
