The Norco Optic C2 is an aggressive MTB that loves descents and comes back up without a gondola. The precise suspension kinematics provide the control you need to attack the trails at full speed. The geometry is perfect for tackling descents without sacrificing precision and maneuverability.
Carbon frame uses Norco's Ride Aligned design system for its high-speed performance with short travel and geometry designed for confident, playful descents, railing turns and boosting jumps. Precision spring kinematics and custom shocks provide 125mm of rear wheel travel. The 140mm fork provides the control you need to keep your focus on the trail.
The steep seat angle and long top tube provide the power and grip you need to make your way up, but make no mistake, the Optic mainly wants to get back down. The Optic is equipped with DH-focused components - because Norco knows what kind of bike inspires you. Big four-piston disc brakes, a wide handlebar, short stems, stiff and beefy 29er wheels with sturdy tires give you the control and clarity you need to attack your favorite trails at speeds that fly by on regular short-travel bikes.
To customize your Ride Aligned experience, Norco has linked every aspect of the system to the Ride Aligned Bike Setup Guide. The app-based wizard helps you precisely customize and optimize your suspension setup based on your individual build, riding style, and the type of trails you expect to ride. It's easy to use but incredibly precise, making the most of every detail Norco has put into the Ride Aligned design. Get the most out of your ride with the Ride Aligned Bike Setup Guide.
