Summary
The Norco Sight is a modern enduro bike praised for its aggressive geometry, providing excellent stability and confidence on steep, rough descents. It offers a planted and composed ride with superb traction, though it can feel sluggish on climbs and in tight terrain. The suspension is highly tunable and effective, but some setups may require fine-tuning to avoid bottoming out.

Feels sluggish and less nimble on climbs and flat terrain
Can be cumbersome in tight switchbacks and technical sections
Some suspension setups may feel harsh or require frequent adjustments
Heavier weight compared to some competitors
Issues with cable rattle and inadequate frame protection in some models
The traction this bike creates is superb, letting you point it down with the knowledge that it won’t buck you, and lean it over with confidence that it will hook up and support you through the turn
BIKE MagazineIt certainly isn’t the most nimble bike she has ever ridden, but it is the most stable.
BikerumorNorco has made the new Sight less of an all-rounder and more of a heavy hitter, but it’ll deal with anything you can throw at it.
BikeRadarThis bike is seriously planted on the descents.

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

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.
Size-specific geometry and dropper post, excellent value for money and a breeze to set up
Hard grips, 60a front tyre and packing quite a few extra pounds

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