Summary
The Norco Aurum is a high-performance downhill bike praised for its high pivot suspension design, which enhances stability and bump absorption.

High pivot suspension design for better stability and bump absorption
Size-specific chainstay lengths and adjustable geometry for improved fit
Excels in rough and fast downhill conditions
Race-ready setup with supple suspension performance
Available in both 27.5 and 29er wheel sizes
Can feel sluggish in tight, technical sections
High pivot design complicates pedaling without an idler
Requires a big hill to fully appreciate its capabilities
Not the best performer in tight, twisty berms and jumps
High pivot pints, I mean. Not affordable healthcare. High pivots mean rearward axle paths.
BIKE MagazineThis rig is built for charging headlong down the hill, but with manners and control.
BikeRadarThe Norco Aurum HSP will thrive on World Cup-style race courses that are flat-out rough with ludicrous speeds.

This steed is bred to work, not play, and has one thing on its mind: Going fast.

The Aurum HSP is a incredible, high-performance machine that's built for speed.
Beautiful finish and attention to detail
Intelligent sizing and carbon tune for front and rear triangles
The best set-up guide in the industry
Slightly harsh feeling from the frame
It's not overpriced, but it is expensive
Available in limited numbers and not in every territory

High pivot point rear suspension designs make a lot of sense. But then again, so does affordable healthcare. It's just not easy to pull off, and there are

29er downhill bikes have been the hot ticket since Greg Minnaar proved you can win races on bigger wheels. For 2018 Norco has revamped their Aurum line
