BIKE MagazineThe Norco Sight illustrated just how wrong I was about 29" wheels as it offered an incredible amount of confidence which allowed me to push myself as a rider.
BikerumorEnjoy the best of both worlds as the Sight conveys equal stability and playfulness.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThis is one PNW inspired all-mountain bike that has expanded the limits of what I thought 130mm of travel could handle.

Confidence inspiring trail bike best on steep, technical trails. Buy if you spend most of your rides spinning up then shredding down the steep stuff
Smooth, controlled suspension, decent kit
Weighty, not the best climber

For the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of soaking up some (much needed) Vitamin D during a holiday Down Under in Australia. Aside from the obligatory family and...

Over the years I’ve taken to the trails with a range of bikes. At 12 years old my first “real” bike was a hardtail cross-country bike I purchased from a friend for $20. Having been such a young buck full of energy it wasn’t uncommon to find me headfirst in a batch of thorns. Simply put, …

In today’s world of mid-travel trail bikes, it seems they become more and more capable every year. Norco’s all new carbon Sight is no exception. Throw a leg over this fully redesigned steed and its purpose is clear: To shred whatever you decided to throw at it. This is one PNW inspired all-mountain bike that has expanded the limits of what I thought 130mm of travel could handle. This year’s carbon Sight has been updated to fit in with the modern era of all-mountain bike geometry. The reach is longer, the bottom bracket is lower and the headtube is slacker. This combination greatly improves the confidence one feels when pointing this trail killer downhill. The redesigned carbon front triangle and seat stay, combined with the new Boost 148 rear end, give the bike a stiff and wallow-free feel when riding aggressively. The cable routing is also extremely clean, utilizing Norco’s latest iteration of the Gizmo internal routing system. Though these changes may seem small on paper, on the trail the Sight feels like a whole new animal.

We've been riding the Norco Sight 29er for a while and the bike just works without calling attention to its wheel size or its travel. It excels quietly on climbs, singletrack and descents, the type of riding that the majority of folks do on their regular fun rides. - Mtbr.com

Norco are shaking up their collection by launching an all-new Sight that comes as a 27.5″ model or a 29er. We’ve taken a closer look at this sleek Canadian rig, so keep reading to see how the Norco Sight C 9.2 held up. A staple in Norco’s line-up for years, they’ve diligently revised the Sight […]

What is it? The Sight sits in between the Range and Optic in Norco’s catalogue, a mid-travel trail bike available in both wheel size options. The Sight could be dubbed the middle child of the Norcos, with parts, and a shape that strikes a sweet spot between the lean cross country scene and the burly …
Nails the sweet-spot of agility and confidence.
Just the right amount of travel for just about anything.
Brings fun to big wheels.
Noisy grinding drivetrain.
Chainguide adjustment bolt thread damages easily.
Too tight water bottle space.
