Norco 2009 Empire 5

 Its a solid bike i rode one for 2 days at whistler and have never had so much fun on a bike. it jumped awsome and handled speed pretty well. only cons i can think of are the forks had allot of problems the one i rode was fu*@ed up but i still rode it. it is not verry good in tech but its not rly meant for it so what can i say. overall my favorite bike ive ever ridden

 this bike is pure sex, rails berms, pins tech, and handles all the big hits... i literally have nothing bad to say at all. I would suggest building the bike frame up as the stcok parts are bad. But with travel at 130 the bike is a jack of all trades, and excels at all of them. Took it out to diablo for opening weekend and was able to ride ever trail including the lagest stunts on the mountian, and it rode them all amazingly. Highly recommended

 This bike is amazingly good at everything, I rode it at silver star and it handled EVERYTHING perfect. Its light and flickable

 the standover is wicked just like a dj bike corners awesomely, suspension had a few problems lockout on rear shock stopped working then worked after awhile again other than that perfect.

 its a great freeride/slopestyle bike, would like a sharper head angle, for dj-ing, and mabey better front susp, but other than that. its the best slopestyle bike on the market.

 this looks like such a great bike to ride. it has such a great set up of components and looks like it would be amazing to have

 Its the sexiest bike ever!!
Marzocchi =) nice strong norco frame, downhill Kenda Nevegal tyres, Sunrims =)
not so expensive either, and comes with Juicy 3's!! The Best...

 this bike handles very nice and very light also has nice feature nicest norco ever. this bike is great for everything

 they are so epic and awesome and cool and a lot of other cool stuff they are cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 very amazing, paint job is pure amazing, all round nice bike

 This is a great all around ride. Only change should be a travel adjust fork. RockShox Lyric is a great choice.

 ive been looking at them and they seem really good for everything

 Cool concept!
