Hi. Thanks for the vids. I have the same rear shock on my new Cannondale Habit, I’m a heavier rider 235, was big into lifting a long time before biking. Anyway my sag is going down past the 40 Percent marker a lil. They recommend 20 to 25 Percent. I tried adding air but my stupid shock pump only goes to 150 psi but the shock says it can go up to 325 psi. Think it’s just matter of continuing to add more air to get less sag? I just ordered a new shock pump that goes up to 300. Thanks
I love how you're casually chatting (12:40) as you cross one of the most amazing features I have ever seen in a biking video. That skinny/line/bridge is incredible!
That says a lot about the bike if he's calm enough to have a casual conversation on that feature.
Agreed! Looks so epic, even on video!
I agree!
Check out 14:02 too
When is the sponsor norco vid coming out
Sight: *has 160mm travel*
“Hopefully they’ll make a long travel version.”
Me: *cries in 100mm*
Jack Jones same haha I need more travel I and bottoming out on every little thing😂 but thats fine. I am very happy with my bike.
Me on my Trek Marlin lolol
@@mojaverc1585 that could be set up. I bottom out my 200mm gt fury downhill bike more then i bottom out my 150/160 yt jeffsy (trail bike) both of them are on factory suspension its just set up differences
@@abccanada6248 yeah i need some of those spacer thingos or whatever to make it harder as it goes through the travel. But i am considering upgrading to a fox 34
Mine is half a inch in back
Enduro chattery? Wow... mine has a 38 and dhx2, set very close to Fox rec's and it's a magic carpet that floats over everything. The traction on loose baby-head filled trails is incredible.
I've got a 2020 Sight C2 29, and its the best bike I've ever owned, pedals really well, descends like nothing else, so stable, very poppy when I need it to be, plows through everything when I need it to. Also I've put the STFU chain dampener system on and its dead silent now
There are lots of bikes you should have bought 😂
Benjamin Livermore exactly what I was thinking 😂
There’s no bad bikes these days so really every bike in the Enduro/trail category should be the one he bought
The correct number is N+1.
Noah Ward N+10*
Nice looking bike. NORCO is a brand on my top 3 radar.
cleared the skinnies so casually, crushed the downhills. great riding and commentary (as always)
13:26 my bike with negative grip: so, you have chosen DETH
looks like 2x speed
My wife and I just bought our first bikes from Kinetic Cycles. Both aluminum sights 😋
I love that you are talking calmly as you are doing death defying features
I agree with many points the author makes in this video. Same size bike and it loves the down hill and is buttery smooth. I am 220 lbs. The only drawback is ground clearance issues even with the shock at max air pressure. I'm thinking about a coil shock with a beefy spring.
Shredding! Love the commentary mid line when you weren’t talking at 14:00 I was like this is gonna be pretty heavy and it was great review all round making it look really fun
That was good. Casual coffee chat while absolutely shredding. All the norcos are very nice this year. Theyve got a hell of a design team. Sight is definitely a standout. GL with your choice
I like the look of that Norco, reminds me a lot of the Transition look.
I have an optic and a sight, the optic is great at climbing and snappy trails, but the sight, my glorious sight, built it with fox float and factory and the thing just trucks downhill completely embarrassing bikes that cost 2 or 3x as much. It climbs reasonably then chews up every chunk or speedy singletrack I can find. Fantastic bike and do recommend.
Im loving watching u try out different bikes n seeing what u think of them instead of what bike companies want u to think.
Handy for me since we have similar terrain and riding style.
Cool review! I just ordered a Sight from my local shop and it's an XL 29er but it's running the fork at 170mm so it has an even slacker head tube angle (Norco's enduro racing team did that this year) and in the women's C2 colour even though it's a men's XL
Norco has done amazing work this year
Nick, I thought I was indecisive until I started following you on UA-cam! Damn man lmao 😂
I just bought the Norco Fluid, which is similar but for trail riding novices like me. 120/130mm travel is just fine as I don’t see myself doing any Park riding or major hits at all for a while
Bike even sounds solid, love that. Always messed my mind when I could hear things on my bike, mental game when I raced.
Quick thing, you said it was a 63.5 head angle but the 29er version is 64
Amazing skills! Love that you keep calmly talking while riding incredibly fast over the big stuff 😂 Great videos!
You are an amazing person and I believe you will surely overcome the challenges before you. Good luck.
4:35 haha that's a good one i live in Arizona and its 107 Fahrenheit rn
Go get a forbidden druid and see what you think. I've been going nuts trying to decide what my next bike should be. Really like the norcos this year but the druid just talks too me.
Doesn't really have enough travel for the north shore. If you really are interested in the Druid, that is what Eric and Yuka are riding this year, it's taken some getting used to for them as they were both on Norco Ranges previously so going from a 180/180 travel enduro monster to a 130/140 travel trail bike.
@@mrvwbug4423 Lewis Buchanan races EWS on it. Unless you're pushing for Strava times 24/7 or racing, "not enough travel" shouldn't be a problem as long as you can have fun riding. Even if you're racing, if Lewis can race on it, it shows the bike is up for the job. Also, the 140mm rear will feel like it has 10mm more travel with its high pivot suspension design as the rear axle moves out and away from the BB. Slap a 160mm fork on it, and you're set for almost any terrain.
Would also love too see some more reviews on this beast
@@mrvwbug4423 I disagree, the suspension design makes it much more capable than the numbers would suggest. I know bcpov and yuka have had a stiff fealing but their bikes far from tuned and the suspension platform really comes alive at speed from what I've read, also the frame is suppose to be super stiff, that sort of stuff takes abit of getting use too. Anyway, This not enough travel thing is irralivant as soon as someone jumps on a hardtail.
alan coster hard tails don’t make sense on a lot of rough technical trails. Many like myself started on hard tails and moved up to FS. As an older rider they simply beat you up.
Nice ride. NORCO is on my top 3 bike company radar.
You need to do a demo of the new norco shore looks like the perfect bike Van Can
That’s absolutely awesome. Please keep it coming! I always enjoy your content!
I have a 2018 norco range, I think these new norcos look amazing and would love to get one in the future... maybe a new range as you said 🤔😌
I rode the Norco Sight at Outerbike in Bentonville in 2018. It was one of my top two favorites. I just struggle with the question: “Was it the bike? Or was it the ride/particular trail I road?” Great bike either way.
This is the new one! Pretty much a completely different bike than the 2018 model.
Norco Sight geo seems very similar to the Transition Sentinel which I love. Great riding!
The Enduro feels chattery partly because it has really high anti-squat numbers (something like 120% through most of the travel). That will mean it will give lots of feedback through the pedals when going over bumps (i.e. it will feel chattery). The upside of the high anti-squat is that it climbs well. Interestingly, since it has anti-squat over 100%, it will actually bob up on each pedal stroke. I have ridden an Enduro a couple of times and it's definitely more chattery than my Remedy, but it also climbs much better.
Try the Transition Sentinel or the Commencal Meta AM, I think those would be interesting to see, especially the Alum. Commencal
i really like your vids. they help me inprove on moutaine biking i also ride vancover and i love mt seymour
I got 1 last week, so far I’m loving it.
I just got the Norco range a2 2020 and it has 180mm in the front and 160 in the rear (27.5 version) and it runs so good, you should really check it out
Was looking at the Enduro, but as most of my riding is all mountain, plenty of flats / climbs / descents, that peddle ease sounds good. Want something that hits harder than an XC on the down but still moves.
Dream bike! Aluminum version for me hopefully soon
Liking before seeing the vid
I literally know nothing about bikes, I started doing xc biking like a month ago and I’ve just used some bike my dad gave me. yet this is still super interesting in a weird way
Those trails look so fun
VanCan could entertain me while he is eating.
he has hahaha
Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day riding trails
Started watching you recently and I love ur vids, keep it up 👍🏻
Great video, if you can now do a comparison with a transition sentinel. That would really help me. 🤣
Same
Been on the sentinel v2 for a few weeks now, took some getting used to, but after a pnw road trip (I'm in Tahoe), it's now an extension of me. Seriously leveled up on the trip, hit features (drops mostly) that I've been eyeing for awhile but couldn't work up the nerve for. The new rig brought serious confidence, new hits feel calm and collected.
Accidentally found the coolest thumbnail if you freeze frame at 13:39 (when the bike is tilted under compression)
I almost forgot to pay attention to what you said about the bike, cuase I was so amazed watching the trails. And you are such a good rider, it's amazing how you continue to chat like your sitting at the coffee table while going down the most gnarly terrain 😎 And starting at 13:20 I first thought you sped up the movie ... boy that's fast!
Please do a video on a Capra 29. Would be so interesting to know how it compares both to your old Capra and to the enduro
I have one , or should I say had one. Waiting on a new frame atm . Sure hope it holds up better then the day and a half of riding I got outta the first one.
Santa Cruz Bronson. Truly an all rounder bike.
That was a great ride on the bike I'm seriously thinking about. Wow, your ride skill can only be described as some kind of Zen / Jedi !
@5:55 I just wish to confirm what your saying about the suspension set-up and "the ride line that you use" ??
“The bike I should have bought”
More like the bikes I should have bought
Those trails look awesome! I love my Sight, it does everything so well. I liked it so much I bought a second one for the Mrs!
Sick trail , sick rider , respect!!👍
I can’t believe the length of that ladder towards the end. Great video mate. I have a 2020 sight.
I'd suggest trying setting it up anyways with the Norco ride aligned then ride it like for a bit. Then redo it from scratch but set it up with how you would set it up. Then ride it for a bit. Worth looking at doing that
I love my sight. It shreds
I also have a new enduro and when I first got it I found it to be pretty chattery, I sped up my Rebound quite a bit and i find it felt a lot smoother and quicker or more playful than with slower rebound.
Word on the street is the new range is going to be a high single pivot
Maybe it's just my imagination, but haven’t seen you shreddin' with so much fun for quite some time - you could really feel that instant confidence w/ the Sight 😎
Anyway, just leaving a big 'thank you' for all that great content and you being so humble 🚀🚀🚀
>Makes a few videos with Dale Stone
>Suddenly riding Norco bikes
He threatened me
I've got a 2005 Norco Bigfoot. I'm happy with it. 😄
I prefer the gimbal view. Great video! Your skills are progressing BiG tIMe!!!!!
Lol in France we don't have the custom build on norco website
Great vid man! I love the sound of the Optic and I'm thinking of getting one but then I watched this and am now like "ooo, just a bit more travel... maybe I need that!" Tough call but I think I'll go the sights way. We don't have much to compare to a double black here in western Sydney 😭
You should give the Knolly Fugitive LT a go. It's their 29er.
I did! Check my bike review playlist
Love your videos keep up the good work mate 👍
Yeah you should've gotten it, my friend got the 2020 specialized enduro and I just got the 2020 sight, honestly the sight is way better priced and better ride
What makes the Sight better? (I'm asking as a 2020 Sight A1 owner)
The sight seems like a DH optic
I don't know if strava agrees but you looked visibly faster than normal on that bike. I'm not sure that more travel would actually be better on the shore!
Dude, you rode Boogie Nights like a pro there
Something interesting about specialized bikes: two of my friends have stumpjumpers , one has a medium and on has a large. I've ridden both, and they feel massively different. One is a 2019 and one is a 2020, so exact same frame design between the two years. Not sure why that is
suspension setup maybe
You should try some short travel bikes!! I have a dh bike and a trail bike, i love riding both (although nothing beats a dh bike in pure speed)
I bought a Santa Cruz megatower and you should of got that instead because you can throw it around and it really agile.
I bought this bike in May 😁 looove it
Next Video...Norco, my new frame sponsor! 😂 great video as always! 👊🏼
You look so much faster on the sight than your enduro.
Maybe its the gimbal chest mounted POV, rather than the usual chin mount its filmed from when riding the Enduro...??
The Sight even has a water bottle holder.
64° headtube angle not 63.5° I run a 170mm fork on mine which makes it 63.5°
I just got 1 how does the 63.5 feel?
After doing some dh , I feel I could handle it..
@@goatio007 really good, Doesnt make the bike sugglish at all, makes it more stable more plush up front, leans over so so so well
@@ross_rusher0243 love the new coil shock. I have the same bike btw (without the upgrades) what would you say was the most significant upgrade/best
Q: How did you not finish 2nd place in the UA-camrs EWS challenge!? You're a better rider than Brian and Eric. Possibly slightly better than Daily MTB rider!
I'd be happy to follow you down the trail and learn some stuff 👌
Good riding footage
Another informative vid 👍 would have been interesting to hear what you thought if you hadn't of known how much travel it had before hand 🤔
I definitly think you should use more time to get your suspension dialed on your enduro. I have the enduro comp version with the rockshox super deluxe select+ and I had to max out the voume reducers in the shock and add a bit more pressure than recomended for my weight. The backwards axle path is pretty sensitive to how you setup your bike, and I've heard that if it has to much sag you will not feel much of the benefits of the design. I found the sweetspot at 28% sag but this might me different for your shock.
It makes more sense for you ride to be on a Canadian bike built for those trails.
Just saying I think it's a good fit!!
Me personally for what I ride the rider I am I would be more suited to the optic but the sight is still nice 👍
You should review the Marin alpine trail 7
2020 sight is epic I have one
That fast downhill jump section looked incredible fun. Good stuff! I assume this was a Norco Sight 29? I think they make a 27.5 too, no?
Yes and yes
Love ur vids
I was waiting for a video titled like this from you. I get the feeling the Enduro isn't panning out to be everything it was hyped to be? You've been demoing a lot recently and I don't think that's just for content for the channel 😉
You certainly have skills! I think with different bikes and travel, there is a compromise some where. Ideally, we should all have 4 mountain bikes: A hard tail, a trail bike, an enduro bike and a DH bike. Since that is not always possible, the first compromise is to have a DH capable Enduro. Still need that trail bike.
I do not know if it was the coffee I drank this morning or what, I swear I can feel the suspension while watching this video.....maybe its the gimble...idk I like it tho
Thx
I'll definitivly buy a gopro harnest
Nice vid mate, would you prefer the Carbon or Alu?
Love your channel
Thanks!
At 13:21 very impressive. Looks awesome
What mountain is this? And what trail starts at 12:40 (the big skinny) and the one following (flowy with berms/jumps)? I must go!
