For our second-ever high-pivot bike review, Travis tests the third-generation Norco Optic. Turns out short travel and short chainstays pair pretty well with high pivots and high speed, both downhill and uphill.

125mm rear wheel travel might have you imagining something of an XC bike, but think again, as Norco’s latest high pivot Optic blurs the boundaries and brings maximum downhill attitude to the short travel trail bike segment

In this week's GMBN Tech Show, Anna Cipullo is joined by Blake Samson to talk about the new Norco and their new high-pivot trail bike. In the rest of the show, we look at a new suspension fork from Push Industries, Cranks Brothers' new shoes and your usual favourites including your wonderful Bike Caves and much more!

It’s been more than four years since we’ve seen a Norco for sale in the UK, after distribution through Evans Cycles fell apart, but now in 2024 Norco is back with two new analogue bikes, the Sight and Optic.

Does a high pivot rear suspension design work on a trail bike? The new 2024 Norco Optic should provide the answer. With its 125 mm of rear suspension and progressive spec, it promises not only to be a fast climber but also a rowdy trail ripper.
