Norco Optic C2 Shimano XL

$3600 CAD

Want a 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy but don't have 6k lying around?? look no further! Selling my 2023 Norco Optic C2 with a bunch of upgrades. (C2 build with C1 frame) This was always a secondary bike for me so it’s in great shape and has never been shuttled or ridden in the park. Selling as I’ve purchased an ebike and need to make room in the garage. Frame: 2023 XL carbon frame. Frame was warranty replaced in August of 2025 so it’s less than a year old. Fork: 36 performance elite with grip 2 damper Shock: float X performance elite Brakes: Shimano XT (freshly bled with brand new pads, 0 rides) Drivetrain: XT shifter and derailleur. Derailleur has 2 rides on it. Tires: Front: Maxxis Assegai EXO+, max grip (80% life) Rear: Vitoria Mazza trail (brand new) UPGRADES: Cockpit: One up alloy bar 35mm rise + chromas BZA stem. Dropper post: 240mm oneup post for maximum drop. Cranks: Raceface turbine cranks. Wheels: Original stans rims, but upgraded to one up star ratchet rear hub (basically a DT350) has context menu

Head to Head: 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy vs. 2020 Norco Optic

Also own a Gen 2 optic. 240mm dropper post, high rise bars, big rotors and you are good. Can ride some shocking stuff on such a small bike.

I saw your post in the race calendar, one thing you gotta remember is sometimes you have to sign-up for a race the day before it happens. thats how it works for the race the ranch and at sun peaks anyway.
