Norco has completely redesigned two of its most important models, the Sight and Optic. Since the bike's launch in 2012, the Sight model has been the go-to for uncompromising all-mountain performance. It has even appeared at the top of international enduro podiums and mastered the extreme trails of Canada's North Shore.

With the last generation of the Optic, launched in 2019, Norco proved with one of the fastest and most aggressive trail bikes that suspension travel is not the only indicator of how much a bike can handle.

Same names, new suspension

For the 2024 models, both bikes will be equipped with the new Virtual Pivot Suspension and High Pivot (VPSHP) platform, an innovation that has been tested to the limit to ensure ultimate performance.

The new Sight

With 160/ 150 millimeters of travel, the 2024 Sight takes the best of the range platform and has it tied into a lightweight, pedal-friendly, nimble high-pivot package. Whether you're tackling a steep section, riding down an enduro stage or spending a whole day riding in the backcountry, this bike should be able to do it all. With the extended rear axle path, the idler pulley and the innovative VPSHP suspension layout, this new design offers the Sight a new level of confidence and performance, whether uphill or downhill.

Playful precision on the Optic

With 140/ 125 millimeters of travel, the new Optic combines years of long-travel bike technology in a lightweight package that is as ready for climbs as it is for demanding descents. The VPSHP suspension layout also offers extended rearward axle travel and an idle mode to control pedal kickback. This retains the Optic's playful roots while giving it more when the trails get rough.

As part of its rider-first mentality, Norco is also introducing a neat upgrade to the innovative Ride Aligned™ Setup Guide. This update not only covers data from the latest 2024 models, but spans the entire range of Norco bikes to ensure every rider has the best possible experience on the bike.

The improved Ride Aligned platform offers more than just a facelift:

• Optimized bike setup suggestions (suspension, cockpit setup and tire pressure) for all current Norco models, taking into account rider height, weight, position on the bike and other factors such as preferred suspension feel, trail grip and trail type.
• A garage portal to save multiple setups for different trail conditions, types and feel for the same bike and multiple bikes.
• Setup wizard to adjust settings after a few rides and set the best ride feel.
