Norco Sight 29 "Build Your Ride" Ride Along Review

When Norco unveiled their brand new Sight model late in 2019, do you think they were prepared for the impact it would have on the aggressive trail bike segment? Were they concerned about how it would be received? These are questions I ponder while riding the bike because this is the most progressive trail bike on the market from a major manufacturer. And all I ever hear about it in the real world is people either commending Norco on the progress they've made, or how much people who own it enjoy the bike. It’s crazy to think that as recently as two years ago if there were a bike to be released with such a shape as the 2020 Norco Sight, it would only have interested a select few but now, it seems wildly popular. Perhaps their timing was just right, or the fact they’ve already been pushing the envelope with size-specific front and rear centres, or maybe their Ride Aligned program with its digestible information for why they’re doing things this way wins people over? Regardless of what it is, I must commend Norco for sticking their necks out further than the rest, because it appears it's paying off. Just over two years ago I shared the story of my personal bike at the time. That was the GeoMetron G16 and when shared people couldn’t believe how slack it was or the length of the wheelbase. Now here we are with the Norco Sight, which admittedly isn’t as aggressive but really close. We’re talking a difference of 1.5 degrees in the head angle and 5mm for the reach. The rear centre is the same as the G16 was and the seat angle on the Norco is actually steeper. It features slightly less travel but otherwise, its similar on paper to the Nicolai and GeoMetron G16 models. It actually sits quite firmly between the two in many aspects.
