This past weekend in Rotorua, New Zealand, Norco Factory downhill racer, Fionn Griffiths, confirmed that she belongs in the top 10 in the world rankings. The ever-consistent Fionn handled the extremely wet and slippery Kiwi DH course with authority and powered her Norco Team DH to a strong sixth place finish. This is Norco’s best finish at the World Championships and our first time in the top 10. Congratulations, Fionn!


Mt. Ngongotaha’s nasty course conditions proved to be too harsh for some of the world’s top XC racers this weekend. But while some of the sport’s elite succumbed to the elements in what became more a battle against nature than a battle between competitors, Norco’s Catharine “Kika” Pendrel fought to the finish. After 2 hours and 18 minutes of suffering, Catharine crossed the line just ahead of the reigning Norba XC Champion, Shonny Vanlandingham, in a very respectable 32nd position. This was Norco’s first appearance in the women’s XC at the World Championships. Great performance, Kika!
