DESCRIPTION
The Norco Optic C2 pushes the boundaries of what is possible on a short-travel trail bike. Built around the VPSHP high-pivot suspension layout with 125mm of rear travel and a 140mm Fox Performance Elite fork, it stays playful on flowy singletrack while punching above its weight when the trail gets rough. Wireless SRAM Eagle AXS shifting and powerful SRAM Maven brakes make it a refined, capable trail companion for New Zealand riding.
