2020 Norco Sight Review: Bigger, Burlier, and Better

The Sight hit the gym and came back bigger and burlier for 2020 - what does that mean out on the trail?

Interesting how the "All Mountain" tag for this bike didn't really make much difference, since the Norco Enduro team were all running Sight - not Range - with 170mm forks this summer. I get the Range is more of a DH bike with a climbing drivetrain and single-crown fork, but it says a lot that their Enduro racers chose the Sight over that.

These guys definitely deliver a lot of value for the $$. That Sight looks like a no shit just do it, send it, whatever package.

Man Norco steppin up nicely this year!

I still remeber Jackson Goldstone riding Norco sight with i think 26 or 24 inch wheels

So you can probably ride this on a casual trail with mates but if you want to get a little bit rowdy hit the good stuff it’s there !!! Looking at slight A3 test Ride it no lock out back shock but did not find Pedal Bob that much not bad actually up hill

Planted is a great term for this bike, last bike was great to flow and jump but a bit sketchy in chunk, this thing navigates chunk great but feel like a bit of work in the flow.

i think we should make all-mountain a mini freeride category 🤣

I can't tell if they like the bike. I like reviews when someone claims 'this thing rocks' or 'yeah it's no different than any other bike.' is the suspension awesome, is it harsh, compared to x, etc.

[rosshannigan]

Can you do a review or the sight in aluminum and 27.5 no one else is doing it

How does the Ripmo AF stand against this Norco? #Pinkbike

[TheBailanator]

Got the 2020 fs1 and can't rave about it more. Norco really showing they can adjust when needed

[mrfroggable]

in my opinion, it seems like norco full suspension trail bikes are more subject to rider size, whereas GT bikes have more forgiveness towards rider height and arm length. it would seem that the norco will be a better riding bike.

A comparison to a Ripmo would be nice!!
Sight A3 compared to a Ripmo AF. I would love to know the differences in regards to climbing and descending.

I got a 2023 Sight this year, A2 Shimano spec. I am a heavier rider but I really feel how easy it is to bottom out the rear shock, took me a while to figure it out. Absolutely love the bike though, the first word that comes to mind is speed. It carries so much speed through bumps and feels like the tires are glued to the ground until you hit a jump or pop off a rock where it feels surprisingly poppy. Its also incredibly comfy to ride.

I'm ordering the 2021 sight a3 tomorrow. Plan on upgrading the rear shock in near future. Do you know if I can put a sweet coil shock on her?

It doesn’t really light a fire under my ass with regards to excitement, but the geometry does interest me.

[ml.]

I can attest. It's a sick bike. Should have renamed it because it is nothing like the old sight.

[Johnnydammit]

I saw other reviews where they classed the sight in with the enduro class! I wonder what Norco is gonna do for their enduros?

[briannyob]

Just bought a 2023 A1. The chainstay protection had been extended, and I don’t hear any cable rattle.

Quick question guys what bike would be a little more aggressive descending for some weekend bike park days. I like this geometry, maybe a Capra 29, Meta 29, or something like a Patrol or Canyon Torque?! Looking for alloy too.
