Summary
The Norco Sight is a versatile trail bike praised for its poised and agile handling, dynamic geometry, and effective suspension that often feels more capable than its travel suggests. It excels in technical climbing and descending, offering a fun and flattering ride that encourages aggressive trail use. However, some reviews note issues with rear suspension support, weight, and component reliability, leading to a mixed overall impression.

In the back corner of my local bike shop sits a 2007 Norco A-Line, a colossal black beast of a bike with 9 inches of travel, a massive dual crown Marzocchi fork, and enough metal framework to support the space shuttle—a bike built for kids who grew up watching low res video of Bender, Schley and Simmons flinging themselves off any cliff they could find between the North Shore and Moab.

Sitting on top of the Norco Killer B-2 we felt like we were riding into the future. The 650B wheels matched to 140mm of travel position it in an area of the market that many riders are keen to experiment with. There are not many bikes available yet built specifically around this wheel size making …
A balanced frame geometry designed around 650B wheels. Line choices are optional. The overall spec makes us feel like this bike has been put together by a good mate.
The weighty wheelset holds back the full potential of the middle-sized hoops.
