Summary
The Norco Sight is a versatile mountain bike praised for its high-pivot suspension design, offering a unique take on the all-mountain genre. It excels in descending with a planted and controlled ride, though some reviews note sluggishness when climbing. The bike features numerous customization options, including the ability to switch between wheel sizes without altering geometry, and is supported by Norco's Ride Aligned setup tool for optimal performance.

The Sight is maybe the most fun bike I’ve ever ridden on flat-ish blown out jump trails.
BIKE MagazineNorco is all-in on high pivots, and the Sight is an interesting interpretation of the all-mountain machine.

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.

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.
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
A little long around tight corners
Wheel swap requires additional shock mount and rocker link

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.

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
