Norco Optic C3 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, boost spacing and a 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 C3 build of the Norco Optic comes equipped with a mixed Shimano drivetrain, a full RockShox suspension system, Shimano four-piston 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 RockShox Pike Select RC 140mm Travel fork and Super Deluxe Ultimate DH rear shock. The Shimano SLX 10-51t cassette paired together with an XT derailleur and Shimano’s MT6100 crankset makes for a tough, reliable and gravity-defying drivetrain. Shimano four-piston MT420 Brakes have your back on the descents and supply confidence-inspiring stopping power. Lastly, Norco outfitted the Optic C3 with Stan’s Flow S1 rims paired together with Shimano Boost center-lock hubs, and premium Vittoria tires.
