"If efficiency were the only factor demanding attention, it would be fairly simple. During this last decade, the cycling sport has evolved from an endurance sport into a power-endurance sport. The influence of biomechanic and aerodynamic research is gaining importance. The goal is to find a cycling position in which power is maximally converted into motion."

comments: I've had my mountaineer for almost 3 years now. I rolled over 7000 km's today and I still love it like the day I bought it. I've had to replace the gears, bearing and other high load parts at 6000 km's. They just plain wore out. I use it on trails, roads...even along the rocky shore line on South West Nova Scotia. I use it for daily commuting, weekend cruising and long haul touring around Atlantic Canada. I'd recommend this bike to anyone who wants a comfortable, reliable ride. I ordered a VFR 3 w/ disk brakes today... but I'm keeping the mountaineer for the trails and shoreline. Hats off to Norco for a great bike at a great price.

comments: --Awesome bike for winter--The fat tires, the frame geometry and disc brakes makes it a really great bike for winter commuting. It's not to expensive so you don't need to worry about the beating it will take riding on snow/sand/salt/ice. Only disadvantage, you can't put a rack on the back because of the disc brakes, even with the so-called "disc-brake racks". I use a seat pole rack which works well actually, but it would be nice to have the proper mounts.

comments: An okay bike. Good we stuff like light XC but as soon as you hit anything tough get off and walk the bike can't take it. I started drop offs this year but a one footer will blow your tube. I went through 6 tubes in one summer. Bottom line if you want a bike to cruise around town with get this if you want a bike that can take a little actual mountain biking send the extra money and get a real bike.
