Norco Sight C1 mountain bike review

Nov 2024

Norco’s latest Sight joins the Optic in the brand's latest round of updates that have graced both bikes with a high-pivot suspension platform. This platform was honed and proven aboard the Range enduro bike and the brand’s downhill bike. Sitting in the all-mountain category, the Sight C1 has a real penchant for descending, providing a planted and controlled ride. However, its all-round performance is stifled by its slow-going character when ascending.

The 2024 Norco Sight High Pivot, Ridden and Reviewed in Sedona

Mar 2024 · Matt Miller

We rode the all-new Norco Sight on some of Sedona's best trails for a day. Here's what to expect from the new high-pivot bike in its mixed-wheel form.

Highs
  • Composed, predictable suspension feel, up and down the hill with support and traction

  • Light and responsive for a 150mm-travel, high-pivot bike

  • Moderate but confidence-inspiring geometry

Lows
  • A little long around tight corners

  • Wheel swap requires additional shock mount and rocker link
