Norco Optic C9.2 review

Flow Mountain Bike
Tested: Norco Optic C9.2

May 2016

The Optic series is an important project from Norco – a new trail bike, filling a vital hole in their range, and available in two wheel sizes. This in itself is not remarkable, there are many brands that offer popular trail bike models in both 27.5 and 29er formats (for example, the Trek Fuel EX or …
