specs

"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 don't own one, but I rode on the other day. I did a few doubles on it and it handled perfectly. I would suggest to buy this bike if you where a guy or girl that just goes down to the local jumps and wants to get air. It's not a heavy bike, so it flies!.

comments: Just got my 250 and wow i love it perfect size for me (long) no pedal wheel contact for bar-spins and it is really light for what it is. My only complaint was that it didn't come with a half link chain but at least the chain i got was white. overall great bike, rides super nice. Man the chainstays are short i measured mine and there at 15.2 Great bike. well done norco

comments: man i just got back from vacation so i hadnt seen a computer in a while. i was waiting to see these new bikes all summer! i truly love that they have made bikes that seemed almost sluggish and boring into crazy coloured ripping machines! all the chromoly frames i think is a great step towards perfection. also love how they have broken away from the hussefelt trend and went to funn! amazing bikes. i really am so extremely hyped about these bikes. man i just cannot contain myself. actually right now i am going to go outside and scream! if you hear a loud scream its me screaming for joy!
