Like the existing Norco fullys, the "Shinobi" is also a four-link, but has a new, attractive design. The new suspension strut linkage is elegantly integrated into the frame. According to Norco, the solid tapered head tube, which has also been redesigned, will be seen on all models with greater suspension travel in the future. As more and more manufacturers are already installing a 12-millimetre thru-axle on the rear wheel for all-mountain bikes, Norco has picked up on this trend and is equipping at least the "Shinobi" prototype with one.
