One of the best hard-riding, confidence-inspiring, long-travel bikes on the market, all for a reasonable price
Supple, supportive, and smooth suspension that gives free speed
Goldilocks geometry
Excellent value for money
Choice part specifications
Weight might be a problem for some
Grippy but slow-rolling tyres

The full circle of freeride
Surprisingly practical
High-pivot magic
Enough travel that 27.5-inch wheels are ok
Freeride is back!
Heavy
Some noise and drag from idler pulley
No reasonable way to go mixed-wheel

The Norco Shore stands for freeriding! The bulky alloy frame uses a high-pivot suspension design and offers a whopping 180 mm travel. Read the review to find out how Norco’s freeride beast fared in our bike park test.
Lots of reserves
Confidence inspiring
Enables high speeds on bike park tracks
Freedom of movement thanks to super-low seat tube
If you're not careful, you will become a passenger
Narrow, slow and winding trails require lots of strength and input from the rider
Loud as hell
Wheelset doesn't live up to the potential of the bike

The Shore is back for another round of freeride glory, this time with 27.5" wheels and 180mm of travel.
Super solid – there's not much that'll stop this thing
Geometry helps ease the sting of those climbs
Very well supported suspension for big hits / hucking
Heavy
Very gravity oriented – not for someone looking for long travel all-rounder
Extra noise / complication from idler

After a 20 year hiatus, the Norco Shore is back on the freeride menu. You’ll be glad to hear it no longer features the split seat tube and thus, doesn’t look remotely like the original motor-less motocross bike of 2001. Freeride on the North Shore has come a long way since then, and thankfully, so […]
