Overview
About this bike
The Optic FS 3 is a fast short-travel carbon fiber trail bike with the agility and confidence you need to look further up the trail. Using Norco's holistic approach to fit, geometry and suspension kinematics, the Optic FS 3's playfully aggressive personality is complemented by 125mm of rear travel via a full-custom RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate DH rear shock and a 140mm Pike Select Plus fork. Adding to its high-speed trail performance, the Optic FS 3 features SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain with NX DUB crank. Shimano MT420 4-piston 180mm brakes control the speed, while the lightweight, robust wheels feature Stans Flow S1 rims on sealed bearing Boost hubs.
