Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the RockShox Pike RCT3 fork installed. The fork’s travel is 140mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is Rockshox Deluxe RT Debonair, with a travel distance of 130mm. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels size
The Sight C2 29 2018 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Norco Sight C2 29 is equipped with 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
Sight C2 29 comes in 3 sizes, that range from 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
