Summary
The Norco Sight is a versatile and well-rounded trail bike, praised for its climbing efficiency and descending capabilities. Its ART suspension platform offers a plush ride with good traction, though some reviews note a lack of suppleness in small bump compliance.

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.

The Norco Sight Carbon LE FS is a versatile, well-rounded all-mountain trail bike that is perfectly suited for technical terrain with plenty of vertical.
Feb 2014
Norco’s bikes haven’t just come on a little bit in the past four or five years. No, they’ve improved astronomically and the Sight range is really indicative of all that progress.
