Norco and Knolly Bikes Headed To ThinkBike Whistler

ThinkBike Whistler is pleased to announce the first of many profiles of our exhibitors coming with incredible bikes for folks to ride.
Norco Bicycles (Live to Play) will be heading to ThinkBike Whistler with a full selection of enduro, all mountain and XC bikes for folks to try out from June 1-4,2017 in wicked, Whistler BC.

Here is NORCO's philosophy and we at ThinkBike Whistler think they nailed it!

"Inspired by our passion for riding and our distinctive Canadian landscape, we believe that people’s lives are enriched by cycling. With uncompromising standards for bicycle design and our competitive spirit, Norco Bicycles will be known as the most progressive and desirable brand among cycling enthusiasts."

ThinkBike Whistler organizer, me, Grant Lamont bought his first mountain bike in 1985 and it was a NORCO Sasquatch. That was 32 years ago and to this day it was a moment that changed my life for the better getting me out in the forest that I love so much. I grew up on the North Shore of Vancouver and had a few friends who just ripped on the MTB while I pinged along off trees and roots, guys like Brent Martin, Don Campbell, Geoff Leidal, Eric Crowe and my late buddy Greg Pickwell. One guy however who came along for rides had on a Norco jersey and he just flew along. His name is Dale Douglas, he was a pilot. He now runs one of the most spectacular MTB adventure companies on the planet in the South Chilcotin, Tyax Adventures.

Now in 2017, we are super excited to have NORCO join us again at ThinkBike Whistler, June 1-4,2017. Going to see the difference 32 years of commitment makes at the leading edge when I throw my leg over one of their sweet new rigs.

The next bike manufacturer we would like to introduce is Knolly Bikes. Been a big fan for a long time as this local BC brand has been nailing it for a number of years with a great philosophy.

"The mission at Knolly Bikes is to provide the mountain biking world with the best engineered and manufactured two wheeled human powered products available. For over a decade we have been pursuing true innovation in the mountain bike industry and pushing manufacturing standards to previously unexplored levels. We eschew marketing hyperbole and instead focus on the details that provide superior products and riding experiences: progressive designs, high-quality manufacturing, and excellent customer support. All of our products are designed from an 'engineering first' lens and our motto “RIDE QUALITY” perfectly embodies both the rider’s experience and the products we bring to market."
