Norco 2009 Sasquatch

 this bike is epic, iv had one for 3 years and has been the toughest hardtail iv ever owned! the geometry is awesome but probably best for taller riders as im 6ft3 and the frame has quite a high back end, built up with lots of tough parts. perfect for North Shore riding and Freeride, can take the big drops with no problem, i dropped 11ft on mine with no trouble and have had some pretty heavy crashes and its just wont break! iff your going to buy one though buy a couple of extra mech hangers too becuase iv broken 4 so far, apart from that, i cant find any problems with it. awesome bike.

 I have a 2003 norco sasquatch that I have made into a dj bike. I thought it was going to be a little heavy at first, but it only weighs 28 with a 130mm travel fork. The only problem with turning it into a dj bike is the headtube angle. If you have any fork less than 130mm on it, the angle will be too steep and make the whole bike feel crappy. Just throwing it out there.

 Super Long Term Review.
Ive had this bike since 2009 and never had a single issue with it. Upgraded the tires, brakes, pedals and grips over the last 10 years, bike is still going strong. Probably the best bike Ive ever owned

 This frame...I love it. I have what I can only assume is a medium, roughly 17" frame. Its long enough for my stupid feet to not get in the wat of the front wheel, and with a long seatpost easily arge enough for xc while also capable of street, dirt, freeride etc with the saddle down. Its light as a feather and seems fairly strong. The pearly blue paint job looks the nuts.

My only gripes are that the seat clamp is very hard to get tight enough to grip the seat post [seat post is not the wrong size] and it doesn't have ISCG tabs either which is a shame.

Mine is an 07 model though so perhaps more recently the seat clamps clamp and they have ISCG tabs.

 Ive had this bike for six years (have a 2004 model) and it has been awesome to me. this thing is a tank. indestructible. Great for trails and smaller/medium north shore and freeride. Overall fun bike. Because it is so strong it also came with a higher weight which isnt so good at street and hill climbs. the rims got bent as well but that was rider error. Overall, this was a great bike which is good for any level rider. Super fun easy to learn on and good for all scenarios (except street lol) I RECOMMEND THIS BIKE! no other bike like it!

 recently got to ride the new model, I own a much older rig with some upgraded components. The geometry is perfect, and I downsized to 24" wheels for personal comfort/preference. My skillset has grown significantly with this bike, and I enjoy every minute of riding it !

 Think Canadian mountain biking and you think elevated North Shore stunts, massive huck drops and other deranged escapades that make you question weather or not you are sane.
The price is right for this rig. The Sasquatch is an awesome entry level bike that lets you get a taste of this world of madness.
It has awesome gear strapped onto a seemingly unbreakable frame that lets you jump, drop and crash into most things that a beginner to intermediate rider is likely to encounter.

When you break this bike it is time to start looking for something that will handle the progression that you have obviously made.

 I have an 2008 Sasquatch. It works great. I have only had some trouble with the front brakes when they leaked some brake fluid for an unknown reason. It's a good dirt jumper and good for downhill riding. I don't like the stock pedals as they are quite slipery. I hope to get some other pedals soon. This is a good all around bike. I have also used it for a little XC. I once ran smack into a tree with it and it was still perfectly fine. It's a tough bike.

 This is a great bike if you don't specialize in a specific type of biking and just enjoy all of it. I've used it for downhill, cross country and just getting from A-B, and it works well for all of them. I own the 2008 version of the model which I'm pretty sure is exactly the same except for the brakes and the derailleurs. I don't know what to say about the change in derailleur but if the Juicy 3's are as bad as the no-name shimanos on the 08 model, you'll probably want to replace them. Other than that this is a great bike to ride that you can't help not having fun with.

 a good bike nehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 I have the 06 model and I use it for everything from DH to North Shore. I can only have improved over the years, right now I see component upgrades better than mine. Can't kill the frame. It just wont die.

 best hardtail there is. great for everything....................................................................................................................................................

 This Bike Is Great, I Have An 07 Model, I Have Changed Lots, I Think The Componentry Could Be Better For The price But I Do Not Really Mind. Rides Smooth, Doesn't Break, looks Kinda Nice...

 i ave a 2008 norco sasquatch and it is a great bike. you can use it for everything. dirt jumps, down hill, even riding around town its a great bike. the only bad thing is the seat it as hard as rock

 i own one of these and will never go to another brand of bike.....the fact of the matter that norco was just an average barnd and has worked to make their name as strong as it is now speaks for itself

 I love my '09 sasquatch, its the toughest bike you could buy for the money. This bike will take anything that you will throw at. It will do xc,dj,fr,dh anything you can name. Its a great bike.

 this is one of the best bike money can by it is dirt jumper freeride some downhill the 55s are perfict and it is a canadian bike

 Everything (except rims).. BIke is bombproof
i actually saw my mate jump it off his room (3 metres +) and land flatland on it

 I loved mine, didnt need to replace anything in the 2 years i had it, it was a bit heavy but being a girl i put that down to being less muscley

 Plenty of suspension for a hardtail, and bulletproof, my friend had it and he took it down the timberside and everywhere at fernie, and it excelled.

 Sweet ride...older models are a bit bulkier but stronger! I am buulding mine custom so it will have none of those specs. You cant really go wrong with NORCO FRAMES!

 I've modified the 08 vertion of it with 66 rc3 saint crank, etc ant it work like a god. But it's a freeride bike not a street/dirt jump bike ...

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 have the 2007 version. awesome bike i think i've fixed it maybe twice, and nothing has broke on it. would like to be able to fit an EnV on the crank how ever...

 will take a beating, super stiff frame, great ride, pedaling efficiency? meh.

 This was one tough bike. What ever you threw at it took it and chewed it up. It can handle some intese trails.

 if you like trials and things you can throw in a little down hill

 Siicckk bike great for all styles of riding, I highly recommend it!

 Great Bike for DJ and Freeride.
