Tested: Norco Revolver 9.2 FS

Jan 2017

Last time I rode a short-travel full-suspension 29er was in 2006. It was a Trek from the early days of figuring out how to make the big wheels not only race fast but ride fun. The (now) dated geometry found in the high bottom bracket height, head/seat tube angles and top tube length just didn’t do the trick for me back then.

A neatly detailed, super-light racer, but the hard-driving rear contrasts with a less committed performance up front
