[Tested] Norco Sight C1 29

May 2020 · Ian Collins

Norco’s Sight lands squarely between the Optic and Range, putting it technically in the “All Mountain” category and making it the most bread and butter mountain bike in the Canadian brand’s lineup – you could say it’s the closest thing they have to a one and done bike. The Sight is available in either wheel size, with aluminum or carbon fiber frames in a broad range of spec levels for both men’s and women’s models. Norco even offers a “build your ride” custom option as well as a frameset. This Spring I spent some time on the C1 version with

Norco Sight A2 29er first ride review - MBR

Apr 2020 · Paul Burwell

Will the increased wheel size and travel eqaute to more fun on the new Norco Sight A2 29? Long and low geometry with increased reach and slacker head angle.

Highs
  • Size-specific geometry and dropper post, excellent value for money and a breeze to set up

Lows
  • Hard grips, 60a front tyre and packing quite a few extra pounds

Review: 2020 Norco Sight C1 - Bigger, Burlier & Better

Feb 2020 · Mike Kazimer

The Sight hit the gym and came back beefed up for 2020, with 150mm of travel and a 64-degree head angle.

Highs
  • Very versatile – not just focused on the steepest, roughest trails

  • Wide range of spec options allows for customization

  • The geometry – it has that 'just right' feeling that you want while climbing and descending

Lows
  • Needs a little extra attention to quiet it down

  • It can take time to dial in the rear suspension; hard-chargers might find themselves needing to run less sag than usual to avoid bottoming out.

The Norco Sight C1 29 delivered a convincing performance in our first ride review and we were all the more excited to see how it would fare in a direct comparison.

Highs
  • Very lively and fun handling

  • Excellent climbing characteristics

  • A lot of freedom of movement on the descents

Lows
  • Rear-end struggles absorbing hard impacts

  • Rattling cables

  • Paint damage to the chainstay
