Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the Marzocchi fork installed. The fork’s travel is 200mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of titanium, so it’s a bit thicker than a carbon or steel fork would be.
Rear Shock
Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
The Team DH 2007 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, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Norco Team DH has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
