Norco continues to impress me year after year. 
This new machine will push even the newest riders to limits we never thought possible! You can say it looks like this or it looks like that, until you actually ride it. People are way to quick to judge. The built in bumpers are absolutely brilliant. Is that spec'd with a Cane Creek Double barrel by the way?

Built in bumpers are from trek, nothing new. And there's nothing really limit pushing about this bike that I see...It's a nice bike, just another hydroformed 4-bar linkage bike.

Its not a Trek damn it, its a Norco and a sick looking Norco at that. People really need to stop posting if they dont know what they are talking about, wait where would be the fun in that.

this is obviously the best suspension design, if they copied trek trek copied ironhorse who copied kona and giant copied somebody as well. its just the way of the future, specialized will have a DH bike like this soon!

I have to clear something up for you. Norco and Specialized use a Horst link suspension system (Specialized=FSR, Norco ART), Trek uses ABP which is a single pivot swingarm with a concentric rear pivot and floating shock, Ironhorse used DW-link which is what Giant now uses because Ironhorse went under and lost the patents, and Kona uses a traditional single pivot system.
All completely different suspension systems all with their advantages but all completely different

Perhaps it could have something to do with the fact that most of a bikes stopping power is in the front, where as the rear is purely for slowing down, thus not needing to be as powerful. The difference in stopping power between 7" and 8" is relatively the same, but having less material, less weight, less over all to be strained on, with nearly as much power.

My bad yeah that is a 7'' rotor.The front brake is mostly for slowing down and back brake for control. But to be honest a 7'' rotor and 8 '' rotor do not weigh that much different. The 8 inch rotor has more surface are ( about 12.5% more) which is alot and can add much more power to your braking which in theory will help with control. However It does seem like most DH are all about saving weight these days.
haha
