Norco Sight

9.2

$5,000

THE PREVIOUS, 650B-ONLY SIGHT WAS WELL VERSED, BALanced and a blast to ride, but when 29 is done right, I almost always prefer it, so when I heard that Norco would be offering the Sight as a 29er, I knew I needed one.

It’s not like there’s a shortage of mid-travel 29ers out there to choose from, but I like the way Norco rolls. The British Columbia brand applies an appreciation for certain details that other companies just don’t bother with. Did you know that the tube profiles are different for each frame size? Yeah, smaller frames get smaller profiles, so lighter riders won’t be on a frame that’s too stiff and unforgiving, and heavier riders won’t be riding a wet noodle.
