The Optic is an aggressive short-travel sled that absolutely rips on descents but can get back up without a gondola. With 125mm of DH-inspired rear suspension, and 140mm travel up front, the Optic embodies Norco's Ride Aligned technology to provide clarity when your vision starts to blur from the speed, or your over-active tear ducts. - Optic Carbon 29" 125mm FT/6061 Alloy RT - Ride Aligned Trail geometry based around 140mm short offset forks - Slack 65 Degree HA - Short seat tubes with long travel droppers - Ride Aligned Suspension setup - Updated Chainstay and Seatstay - Stiffer, 180mm post mount brake, more heel clearance. - Vittoria Mazza and Martello tires w/Graphene 2.0 Compound - Stan's Tubeless Ready - Rims pre-taped, valves and sealant provided RIDER BENEFITS: - RIDE ALIGNED: The Optic uses Norco's Ride Aligned design system which matches each individual bike to the human who rides it, creating a customized platform that is both stable and balanced, allowing the rider to push harder. - FINE TUNED REAR SUSPENSION: We created the Optic's suspension design around a very specific spring curve and damper settings, and RockShox and Fox stepped up to build everything we were looking for. - HIGH SPEED BY DESIGN: By relaxing the Optic's head angle to 65 degrees for stability, we fine-tuned the handling with reduced-offset forks – providing even more high-speed precision and predictability for a more aggressive trail attack. - EQUIPPED TO DESCEND: To bolster the Optic's descending prowess, each bike is equipped with 4-piston disc brakes, shorter seat tubes, long-stroke dropper posts and aggressive knobby tires.

See you at the bottom Even though Jekyll runs a unique combo of innovation that has literally never been seen before, it's not a bike that talks. It's a bike that goes. Where it thrives Steep, fast, rowdy mountains What it's built for Enduro racing, bike park sessions, high-speed mobbing Highlights - RockShox Zeb Select 170mm / Float DPX2 Performance Shock - Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain / Deore M6120 hydraulic disc brakes - WTB 30mm rims / Maxxis EXO+ tires / dropper post Descend into Greatness It's a hell of a climber but come on. Jekyll was born for the downs. Every part of it crafted for the sweet embrace of speed, every element designed to help you wring a bit more of velocity's nectar from those steep, chunky, high pucker lines you love. Best. Suspension. Ever. 4-bar meets high pivot meets idler pulley meets size-specific kinematics. For real. If you're not up for suspension buzzword bingo, just know that it grips, floats, and pedals like nothing else. It's always up for getting down. The Gravity Cavity The shock tucks cleanly into the twin spar downtube, keeping the bike's center of gravity as low as possible. Wicked stability, instant line changes and one-of-a-kind looks. Built for You Well, not you specifically. But someone just like you. With our Proportional Response design, everything—from the suspension layout to the geometry, even the length of the chainstays—is completely customized by size, for performance built just for you. Suspension Like No Other High main pivot gives it a bump-swallowing rearward axle path. The Guidler pulley kills the pedal kickback of high pivot systems. The 4-bar linkage keeps braking smooth, traction high and pedaling crisp. Guidler Idler pulley + chainguide = Guidler. Clever, right? Idler eliminates feedback from the high pivot swingarm, keeping your pedal stroke smooth, even when the terrain isn't. The guide, well, it guides. Suspension Built For You A rider's center of gravity drives how the suspension performs, yet most bikes use the exact same layout for all sizes. Proportional Response Suspension alters the design by size for truly next-level performance. Proportional Response Geometry Long, slack and low—and fully size-specific. As the front of the bike gets longer with each size, the chain stay length increases proportionally, keeping the rider centered between the wheels for true "made for you" handling. Guardhouse Downtube protector keeps your frame safe from roost and strikes, while letting water and debris pass through. The Ai Advantage Our Ai Offset Drivetrain delivers more tire and mud clearance in the swingarm, and more even spoke angles for a stiffer, stronger rear wheel.

IT’S METAL Over our long tenure from moun­tain biking’s awk­ward ado­les­cence to its cur­rent any­thing-shred­dy era, we’ve exper­i­ment­ed with steel, alu­minum and tita­ni­um?—?remem­ber the Bow-Ti, the first super­bike? We remem­ber the met­al times too, and it feels good to offer a pre­mi­um ride expe­ri­ence to our broad­en­ing fam­i­ly of rid­ers, cour­tesy of durable, afford­able alu­minum alloy. MODERN GEOMETRY With a steep, 76-degree seat tube angle and a rangy but not stratos­pher­ic reach, the Rip­mo AF places rid­ers cen­tral­ly and upright over the bot­tom brack­et. It makes for an effi­cient posi­tion that can go the long haul with­out plac­ing too much weight on its slack, 64.9-degree head­tube angle. A 44mm reduced-off­set fork is more sure­foot­ed on steep descents and stead­ies high speeds. Bet­ter up, bet­ter down. 147mm 5.8" REAR TRAVEL 160mm 6.3" FRONT TRAVEL 29" WHEELS • UP TO 2.6" TIRES

ALL SEASON EVOLUTION Balanced weight distribution for maximum traction and a powerful pedaling position keep the Bigfoot 2 charging forward all year. The redesigned Bigfoot elevates fat bike performance to downright fun, anywhere, anytime. The confident, aggressive handling tracks precisely where you want on a descent or technical trail, and the simple one-by drivetrain offers reliable, simple shifts with gloved hands. With maximum traction in the most extreme riding conditions imaginable, Bigfoot claws its way up, and the finely tuned steering geometry and massive tires provide confident, aggressive handling to rip back down. The Bigfoot excels in all-season weather and extreme terrain to make every ride big fun. PROGRESSIVE DESIGN Built from the powder-up with our holistic approach to fit & geometry. A combination of longer reach, slack head tube angle and steep seat tube angle gives every Bigfoot a powerful pedal position, increased climbing traction and added control when descending. FAT’S WHERE IT’S AT 75mm wide 27.5” rims and frame clearance for up to 4.6" tires to put more rubber onto whatever surface you're riding and allow for lower pressures and greater traction. FRAME FEATURES Evolved, thoughtful details make it even better. Generous standover clearance and extra stiffness provided by 12x197mm thru-axles and internally routed cables make the Bigfoot’s aluminum frame ideal for extreme terrain. WINTER RIDER Optimized for the cold, capable year-round. All models feature disc brakes with DOT fluid or cable actuation for consistent performance over varying temperatures. When included, dropper posts are spec’d for reliable cold weather performance. MULTI-FUNCTIONAL Frame details add versatility. Rack mounts in the rear, bottle mounts above and beneath the down tube and triple mounts on the fork give you the option of running a barebones setup or loading up for a massive excursion. STANDOVER HEIGHT Top tube clearance is critical in fat biking. Getting off the pedals in deep snow requires lots of space over the top tube. Bigfoot strikes a perfect balance between max clearance and making space for a frame bag in the front triangle.
