Norco 2007: Dissected
Tuesday, October 17th, 2006Cory at The Biking Hub has put together a lengthy article on the 2007 lineup from Norco. He explains all of the major changes across the entire range Norco is offering for next season.
“For ‘07, Norco tweaked the geometry by just a bit, introduced a new headtube design for the frame, AND shaved almost 4lbs from the bike’s overall weight, while spec’ing the bike with the high-end components that is usually found on this model. Next year, the Team DH gets Marzocchi’s new 888 World Cup up front and the Rocco World Cup controlling the cush in the rear. The drivetrain is handled by SRAM’s X0 trigger and a short cage X0 rear derailleur, along with an 11-23 cassette in the rear (no one really climbs with these things). For $6050 (cad) / $5230 (usd), you get a ready-to-race ripper that will surely see some podium spaces on local race circuits.”
