Reviewed: Norco Sight 1

by Brian @ OBB on Nov 3, 2011 • 3 Comments

Norco has stepped up their all-mountain game in the last few years, and the 2012 Sight 1 (MSRP ~$5600) is continuing that trend as a capable, 140mm travel smasher that still lets you pedal up. Victoria purchasing manager Scotty Martin got on one this year and has a few rides under his belt with it....
