Overview
About this bike
Norco's Optic is all about seeing trails in a new light, so take that harder line, hit that hip, and enjoy an enhanced perspective of your favorite old trails. The Optic A1 floats over rocks and roots with Fox and RockShox driven suspension. Tubeless-ready wheels equipped with grippy Schwalbe tires are take on every berm, bump, and braided patch of roots without hesitation. The 1 x 11-speed Shimano XT drivetrain is fast, light, and incredibly reliable. Before you drop in to the next chunky descent, go ahead and lower the JD TransX dropper post so you stay low and controlled. And if the gnar starts to get the best of you, rely on Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes to provide positive, modulated stopping power no matter the trail. The Optic A1 is polished off with Norco cockpit components, lock-on grips, and an SDG saddle, sure-fire accessories that'll keep you pinning it all day long.
