Overview of components
Fork
The Sight C 9.2 comes factory-installed with the RockShox Pike RC fork. This has a travel range of 140mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock
The Sight C 9.2 has a rear shock with a travel of 130mm. The model Rockshox Deluxe RT3 Trunnion is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels size
The wheels on Sight C 9.2 are the 29″ aluminum type. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
There are 3 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
The Norco model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
