Looks like it’s a done deal. Here is my new bike for next season – Norco’s brand new Sight 1. This is an XT/XTR 140mm trail bike (27.2lbs) that is designed to handle most, if not all, the trails I can throw at it. The Sight is a modern mountain bike in every way. Tapered head tube, 15mm front hub, 142 x 12 mm rear axle, dropper seatpost and an active rear suspension via Norco’s A.R.T design. I also happen to think that it is the BEST looking bike that Norco has ever made. Murdered-out just like the cool kids would order it. Mine is on its way.

Here’s what Norco’s marketing team has to say…
“There are so many places around the world where you can ride your bicycle. With a seemingly infinite number of trails to discover and new lines to explore, this is the one bike that every adventurer needs on their search for the perfect trail and the perfect ride. Designed to epitomize climbing efficiency while maintaining descending prowess, the SIGHT has a chokehold on versatility in the all-mountain trail market. With 140 mm of smooth, precise A.R.T. travel, refined geometry and a great component spec, this is a bike you have to ride to believe.”
