Norco Optic C2 Shimano 29″ 2021 Bike

Norco has reimagined what a modern trail bike is capable of and with help of their new Ride Aligned design system, they created the Optic. Ride Aligned is a sophisticated bike building system that helps design frames with unique geometry for every frame size based on the riders center of gravity and weight distribution. The result is a finely-tuned fit for riders of every frame size and bikes that feel like they were made specifically for you. The Norco Optic is a playful trail bike that was created for high-speed performance for today’s modern trail riders. Built to excel on fast and flowing single-track, this short-travel 29’er features a slack head tube angle for confidence on the descents and a steep seat tube angle for support on the climbs. Every aspect of the Optic, from the components to the geometry, has been focused around speed and agility for maximum trail-shredding performance. A relaxed head tube angle, a short stem, wide bars and reduced offset fork all aid in fine-tuning the Optic’s handling and predictability for fast and aggressive riding. A custom suspension design with precise spring and damping curves create one-of-a-kind suspension kinematics that only the Optic can touch.

The C2 Shimano build of the Norco Optic comes equipped with a Shimano XT drivetrain, a Fox Performance Elite suspension system, Shimano XT brakes and Stan’s Flow S1 rims. For aggressive trail performance you are going to need aggressive suspension performance, so the Norco Optic is outfitted with the legendary Fox Performance Elite 36 Grip2 FLOAT 140mm fork and Fox Performance Elite FLOAT DPX2 rear shock. The complete Shimano XT drivetrain sports a 10-51t cassette for a gravity-defying drivetrain. Shimano XT four-piston M8020 Brakes have your back on the descents and supply confidence-inspiring stopping power. Lastly, Norco outfitted the Optic C2 Shimano build with Stan’s Flow S1 rims paired together with Shimano XT Boost center-lock hubs, and premium Vittoria tires.
