I'm kind of late, since this video is half an year old already, but it's the first time I watch a video from your channel. Currently in a search for a long AM/Enduro 29er and the Sight is on the top of my list, since it has a similar host-link suspension I'm used to. I'm riding a Transition Patrol 2017 in size XL, but it is too small for me and some newer L frames have longer reach already. The Patrol has a 483mm reach and that was quite good when I got it. I'm 195cm with rather long legs and arms attached to my body and have the same problem with droppers. My current 175mm dropper is not really slammed all the way in and even a 210 won't be, lol. May I ask how tall are you? Could not find it in the comments, sorry if it is written somewhere. You seem to be a tall guy with a similar structure like me.
Solid video! Building my up this week. We have the opposite weather here in the PNW 6 inches of rain in 2 days! What’s your mic set up during the POV? Sounds really good!
hey luke, great video . are you going to review the norco range? I am not sure your sight enjoyed that huge drop at the beginning! i live here in canuck land so the way you pronounce deity it should have an "eh" sound as in: not too much rain in Australia, eh? anyways, great riding. gotta check out australia sometime.
Epic video dude just a bit confused about the size still I’m 6”2inch and norco I says I’m an xl but most other bike brands I’m looking at put me at the tail end of a large just worried the xl will be massive, how tall are you bud ?
hey mate, I'm 6'2/ 191cm and it's perfect. I always rode large size and knew something didn't feel quite right, tried an XL and never went back! It's the go fo a 6'2 rider for sure
I have another one for you to try out Rocky mountain "Slayer "specced out I had to go on that way and it was surprising to say the least.just wish I could afford it I would have bought it just right then after I went for a ride on the demo bikes that I had. I definitely would recommend it.
A good review here mate, thanks for that. I’m about to test this bike as well in a few days. I’m 5’10 and according to Norco I’m right in the middle of L. However, the reach is huge compared to my 2015 YT Capra (63mm longer) not to mention it’s a 29er. Do you think I should stick to L or I should ask the shop to provide me a M for a test as well?
You should look into getting an external mic, or a directional mic. Both of these would help virtually erase background noise. Cool video though, keep it up.
Yo dude, sweet vid! Ive just gone and demoed the same a1 but in a large and was wondering how tall you are? Im 6ft 2 (188cm) and the large felt good but im kinda inbetween the two sizes, any insight for me?
Norco recommend the XL for anyone above 183cm. I know some people in the 185cm range that feel a bit inbetween sizes. You can play with your bar width to change your upper body position, center of gravity, and reach to the bars. I'm 193cm and this new Sight feels so much better than my old 2017 Sight- No comparison.
@@bradcomis1066 yea this new sight absolutely rips compared to the old one. Im currently on an XL specialized enduro 2018 and the L sight has the same geometry numbers roughly some even longer/slacker and felt about the same to ride. I was just kinda wondering what the XL rides like because the numbers suggest its a behemoth of a bike. I am aware of different cockpit setups to change how the bike feels aswell
@@bradcomis1066 Can You lower your seatpost all the way down? I'm asking because I'm 6'0 but have a quite long legs and arms, and I want an XL but I'm not sure I will have a possibility of adjusting
@@bartoszkacki5064 My current saddle height is 805mm from the BB center to the top surface of my WTB Silverado saddle (measure to the point just above the seat post clamp). I dropped the post all the way and the saddle height was 770mm. Your results might vary a bit if you use a different saddle or a dropper with a shorter collar.
Go the A1. I've got the A2 with the fox float x2. I road it twice and the shock deflated. The shock went back to fox for an 'assessment' which was gonna take 2 weeks. 99Bikes Modbury South Australia were awesome and replaced the shock for me straight away, no help from fox. The new shock is good, but every time I ride it's in the back of my mind that it will fail and then I will get stuffed about by Fox.
Suspension performance trumps weight! You'll have to pedal a tiny bit harder on the way up but its all good. I'm on the alloy Sight and it generates so much grip climbing the the weight just disappears.
Like no lie it looks good a little like it handles pretty well couple of grades would be nice on there but still and all you get what you pay for it gas right!there's video keep it up you safe drink plenty of fluids.
Where is that trail is it in Sydney castle hill? If it is could u respond and let me know how to get there cos I live around castle hill and looks like an awesome place to ride at, thanks bro hope you could respond and let me know
An all mountain in an enduro realm! The sight is gonna be a hard bike to beat in bike of the year! Norco for the win! Keep watching!
Johnny Dammit an all mountain gas 150-160 mm of travel enduro has 160-180 mm of travel
i recently bought a used norco sight c7.3 2015 frame and built it up.. it's a thing of beauty and i love it
Sick bike bro! I look forward to future vids! YEWW!
Great video mate. Reppin norco and brisbane. My 2016 sight is still going strong but I think I need to upgrade.
Goto go down south to get away from the heat LOL
Good vid and maybe also, early rides for Aussy Summers - less heat stress and snakes.

When in February are you coming to Derby. I don’t live far from there. Would love to swing by and see you🤘🏽
Same
really good review dude. Super informative and helpful. Keep it up. It feels planted because it weighs almost as much as an E-bike :P haha.
Another great video, and getting better
Solid video! Building my up this week. We have the opposite weather here in the PNW 6 inches of rain in 2 days! What’s your mic set up during the POV? Sounds really good!
Nice vid. Thanks. I’m getting the A2.
I love this bike.
How would you compare this to your old Giant Trance?
hey luke, great video . are you going to review the norco range?

Good to see you on something other than a Giant.
Nice spec and a good looking bike. It should be fun
What happened to giant Ashgrove

Hey man I'll be going to derby for some first time shuttle sessions late March next year.
Yeeew
Have you been to North Harbour? It opened August 2019 but there’s bugger all about it on YT.
An honest opinion would be appreciated.
A good review here mate, thanks for that. I’m about to test this bike as well in a few days. I’m 5’10 and according to Norco I’m right in the middle of L.

I have a large and I'm 5'10", with a 32" inseam. Medium was too small for me, my large feels great. I'd suggest throwing a leg over the large first!
grubstep thanks mate. I bought the Large size 2 months ago, after riding both Medium and Large. Medium does feel too cramped.
Another cracking video Luke. Derby or Queenstown if you had a choice?
Derby all the way
Looking at slight a3 iam 188cm 6’2 Recommended size 99 bikes say a L slightly more payfull or XL ,,, tall and lanky lol

Ryan G I’ve got one, the noise is the birds man hahahaha

Hey mate, I'm 6'2" also, I demoed the XL A2 and lived it so much I ordered it. I found the XL perfect for me, but everyone is different.

Come to derby it’s lit as,
Also y aren’t u on a giant anymore
Giant is stuck with outdated geo and they had a whole marketing campaign that said that 29er was inferior to 650b.... backwards company.
@@hummer694life they make great bikes though
The Norco is Nice!
Great video, crystal clear!
you should head to Maydena while your in tassie as well as Derby
Ooooosh bit fancy. Epic drop
If you could choose to have the Sight A1 or the C2, which would you go for? Seems like the overall spec is quite a bit better on the A1
Go the A1. I've got the A2 with the fox float x2. I road it twice and the shock deflated. The shock went back to fox for an 'assessment' which was gonna take 2 weeks. 99Bikes Modbury South Australia were awesome and replaced the shock for me straight away, no help from fox.

How tall are you to fit that Xl and do you think you could have gotten away with L
If you still have your 2018 giant reign I am willing to buy
Where about in castle hill?
Great vidéo ;)
This video is RAD!
no more giant?
Like no lie it looks good a little like it handles pretty well couple of grades would be nice on there but still and all you get what you pay for it gas right!there's video keep it up you safe drink plenty of fluids.
Good review mate. I’m looking at doing a review channel as well. I’m around your area as well ✌️✌️
Yewwwwwwww. Your videos are fucking sickkk yewwwwwww 🤙🏻
Might want to get your foundations looked at .... the crack in your internal skin of blockwork in your garage looks a bit suspect
wheres this bike park at lad?
Where is that trail is it in Sydney castle hill? If it is could u respond and let me know how to get there cos I live around castle hill and looks like an awesome place to ride at, thanks bro hope you could respond and let me know

Great video 👍

Frick yea it lookin noice

I own a sight A1 and on my first ride I broke the bars clean in half soo be careful those bars are weak
The Deity bars? That sucks dude, I hadn't heard about them being weak.
Where in castle hill are the trails
DId you get an answer on this?
Demo the Ibis ripmo V2
Wish I had one of these, I have a Norco storm 4
Do you like it? I'm thinking of getting a storm. I'm new, it will be my first bike
How tall are you. I'm 6' and kinda in-between L/XL
I'm in the same dilema, which size did you end up getting?
@@gonzalovilaseca gonna wait till I can demo
@@ashfuelmtb5442 Which size did you get? I'm also 6' but with quite long legs and arms
@@bartoszkacki5064 I bought an XL Ripmo af and happy so far
