God damn it norco, stop making me want so many bikes.

[klstrucker]

Upcoming field test is gonna be epic: this, new cannondale jekyll, nukeproof giga, transition spire, raaw madonna V2.2, kavenz vhp16... I think they should be compared to current specialized enduro. Please, Pinkbike

[JustJake]

Kaz is rarely this impressed by a bike.... That's saying something about this one....

[colinwatt]

Kudos for Norco doing things every company should have been doing for decades.

I’ve been waiting for this bike forever! I’d love to see it compared to the new specialized enduro

[micheandmikey]

The second I saw the high pivot, I was expecting a review like this. The bike looks amazing, and so different from other high pivot bikes. Great review Kaz!!

This is awkward... Forbidden's head designer used to work at Norco. Now Norco release a similar bike couple of months after the Forbidden Dreadnought. Pinkbike needs to settle this with a Head-to-Head Battle!

So good to hear Kaz excited about a dream bike. Looking forward to this field test.

Just purchased this bike and put a day on it at Whistler. Feels better than my downhill bike on every trail. Confidence inspiring, planted, and pinned. Bike is amazing. Will be putting a dual crown on soon and replacing my downhill bike

Ordered my first mountain bike in years this week : Devinci Kobain 2022.

Can't wait to be able to afford a bike like this one!!!

[peterknight]

This bike must be good. I've never seen Kazimer so excited about a new bike!

[gigachad]

1:30 Mmm yes I can definitely feel the difference between 0, 2 degrees

[Assimilator]

Due to bike shortages this bike SHOULD be available mid 2025.

I have veered away from Norco for the past decade or so due to past issues I had with their frames. But always continued to watch them grow as a company as their a local brand for me. This bike may just be the one that gets me back on a Norco 🤔 Amazing job Norco Factory. Already got to check one out and it even nicer in person! #beauty

Started taking a look at Norco about 1 year ago. Since bought a Fluid HT. Every bike in their range is really nice and very modern.

[GRPABT]

Looks like they nailed it, just like that lower link is gonna nail rocks.

[jasonmcd]

Hey Kaz, when you do the timed testing, please compare it to last year's speed demon; the other North Shore bike's Co, the RM Altitude!

[bjrnsune]

Is it me o the bike is very similar to the forbiden druid?

[Don-Michael]

That lower link is low. I'd be worried about bashing that constantly

[mikedamisch]

Looks great all though I would be super scared of smashing that lower link/chainstay sticking down so far below the bike.
