why why why……!!!! that is damn fugly!
It just like the 99 KONA stab front triangle mixed with FSR….very ugly!!!!!
All of these new “swooping” designs make me cringe.
Although, if the bike rails, then who can complain?
Gah! Stop it! Stop it with the curvy bikes!
Canadians are weird
what’s so wrong with curved downtubes?
It’s the most effective way of lowering your COG, allows you to run a super low stackheight, while clearing all the fancy dials on top of forks these days.
That can’t be done as easily or as effectively with straight tubing
I really like the new Norco offerings, just not so excited about some of the colour schemes
Nice spec, but it looks like it’s pregnant.
gay
I actually liked the curvy tubes on the new Six they introduced last year. But, ummmm, this new DH version…no…
is that 09 boxxer or current model with paintjob???
althought Karupshun is right, it looks like my friends girlfriend. ugly and expensive
That someone probably calls something, cool XD
Thats a hot ladies comfort bike, but where are the downhill bikes?
the new demos have the right amoutn of curve, this is just ugly, looks like melted plastic and not in a good way.
demo’d it at interbike. Beat out the new trek session88, yeti 303r, demo 8, v10. at bootleg IMO. I road all of these for the two days norco dh would of won the shootout.
this is no were near as curvy as the new specialized sx trail 2009(gold) but they olny look nice cause of the shocks and a very slick bike is a specialized demo 8 II very nice i think that everone will like this bike…
