![]() Seeing as we had multiple bikes to do, one after another, Creaform’s MetraSCAN 3D was the tool for the job. But ever since a certain patent expired, we’ve seen a lot of companies adopt this design and there are good reasons behind this that we can see from the suspension characteristics it gives.įor the Sight, as well as the others we'll be doing in the future, we filled a van with test bikes from our local bike shop, The Factory in Fribourg, Switzerland, and headed off to Creaform’s French office in Grenoble. The Sight may look like a lot of other bikes at the moment from 100 yards, and that’s mainly down to the layout. Few brands do this, and Norco deserve a tip of the cap for it. They even steepen the seat angles as the sizes grow to keep the rider’s weight in a more balanced position when seated.

Norco is one of the larger brands in the industry to be adopting the properly long and slack mantra that many other companies say, but don’t deliver to the degree of Norco. If you’d like to go back and see what we looked at for our first trail bike, check out the Commencal Meta TR 29 analysis. Heading into round two of our Behind the Numbers trail bikes we have the 2020 Norco Sight. Behind the Numbers is made possible by Creaform Portable 3D Measurement Technologies ![]()
