We've seen more and more high pivot suspension with idler pulleys, but on short travel bikes? The new Norco Sight and Optic look interesting.

Add the new Sight to the list of bikes that use a high pivot suspension layout.
Great traction without feeling sluggish
Sprindex takes some of the hassle out of speccing a coil shock
Norco's setup guide is one of the best in the business
No in-frame storage
Idler noise is noticeable on longer rides
Chainstays are fairly short, even with a rearward axle path.

The Sight is the all-rounder in Norco’s portfolio. In our 2023 North America’s Finest showdown we pitted the Sight C2 SRAM against the hottest bikes of the North American continent to find out what it’s capable of!
Plenty of freedom of movement
Rear suspension provides plenty of pop and support
Practical Ride Aligned System
Cables rattle loudly against the frame
Tires don’t do justice to the character and potential of the bike

The new Sight is looking a whole lot rowdier
Geometry that’s proportional to frame size means both tall and short riders can enjoy an optimum riding position
Suspension keeps the bike glued to the ground
Canary yellow and black looks awesome!
Rear suspension can feel a little harsh when pushed deeper into its stroke

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
