About Optic Head Angle. Our bike shipped with a geo sticker on the bike that says 63 degrees. Norco's geo chart says 65 degrees. When we measured with an angle finder, the Optic we have with a 140mm Lyrik is at 64 degrees on the dot.

thats strange :D Thanks for meausureing

[@HamSupZhai]

Damn. These updated Norcos look sick.

[@RunRideHikeThrive]

Indeed, just saw them Sea Otter Classic and wow.. Sic indeed..👍

[@Squidsonbikeswithhats3958]

Likes your dialog/review over top of lots of good riding footage

[@Clarkalot]

Ive just got a Fluid FS A2 and I absolutely love it. Norco goes above and beyond with their part specs. The new Optic looks like an absolute weapon but that light green Sight just calls to me.

[@topchoice1621]

The Norco sight A2 MX priced at 3999$ is great value and I like that norco didn’t compromise with garbage parts great job

[@mravocadoman2999]

That Optic c2 has to be up there for best looking bike of the year in that blue with a big ol' can

Johnny is an OG still on flats

Id like to see a multi brand high pivot review. I own a Claymore and am always interested in other high pivot bikes.

[@adrianw3985]

4k just for a frame. Damn.

[@cliffordrichardc]

wish see more for this two bike

[@mattn7]

I feel like the alloy frames with the new vivid is the move here.

[@scottiehanbacks6595]

They both nice bikes

[@158158cow]

Purple alloy Optic would be excellent

[@aaronblonden6774]

The bike rides amazing.

[@gopro_vlogs]

At first I thought this was just an updated shore from the photo of these videos

[@3axapvlad]

Ну наконец-то появился оптик в алюминии!

[@levinsonl]

I like short chainstays, but i feel like these are too short for how long the large and extra large reach are

[@_Vicarious]

Great looking bikes. Sights colours don't make me want to buy though.

[@TeddyParker]

Am I actually looking at a 120mm RS Vivid on that Optic? Paired with a 140mm Lyrik? That's kinda hilarious. DownCountryDownHill bike...

[@hangnrashr]

Why would the HA be a degree steeper on the bike that's more gravity focused?

[@danielray1558]

They mixed it up here- the optic has a 65 degree hta vs the 64 on the sight. They kept saying 63 for the optic, but that’s incorrect according to the Norco sight

[@DobronravovChannel]

How tall are you?

[@tombeck129]

High pivot on 120mm shock travel? 😂

[@kuma_score7536]

and compatibility for a coil shock with full on Enduro geometry, it's odd and I'm not sure how I feel about it but that thing must rip on flow trails and lighter chunk while on steep terrain.

[@Nozes..]

Also 35lbs for a short travel trail bike with carbon frame ,no pedals,EXO tires.
Pass.

[@jokermtb]

Still trying to figure out why I'd want a high pivot short travel bike......

[@cgrocho47]

@@jokermtbBecause it's the fad du jour.

[@harrie205]

You need to understand a few things about bikes to get it or you can cry because you don’t

[@deadpresident78]

Ill pass on both. See at SM!

[@johnconnolly2815]

Norco still doesn't "get it" with the long cranks on Sm and Med bikes.

[@samuelrazo5636]

Greg minaar new trail bike

[@scottiehanbacks6595]

There nice little to much

[@PeterBalssuweit]

ugly rigs.... just like any other high pivot design
