Got my Sight C2 2024 yesterday. I had the old model before and always thought it is awesome but sometimes i wished i had a little bit more Travel. I thought maybe the High Pivot will give me a little bit more room but hearing from you that changing the Travel is possible i eventually will do this.
How do you comapare the old sight vs the new one. Next year, i will be looking for a new bike and the sight is on my list. I would like to know if the high pivot is a must or i should go for the old sight. Looking for something that climb well (Without being an XC) and something that rips on the downhill.
@@philfort7886 I don‘t have it for a very long time now but i think i noticed already some points. Let’s start with the boring stuff - Climbing: It climbs really really well for it‘s weight. If you are not on a hurry long days are not a problem if you somewhat fit. It also climbs very well over technical sections. The rearward axel path is not a problem at all. One thing i noticed is that its not a sprinter. Probably because of the high pivot it feels like there is some drag to it. So sprinting uphill or even on a flat section in a trail is not its upside. But on the Downhills - What a Bike! I loved the old one. I was confident and i had so much fun but the new one is even better. First there is just a little bit more potential in the rear end. At bigger hits or very rowdy section i always thought the old sight could give a litte bit more… even it could handle way way more than what you would expect out of a 150mm Bike. And to be fair it was maybe in 10% of my rides something i noticed. But i only have one bike so the fact that the new rear end is even more capable without giving up the agile and compact feeling of the Allmountain Category is perfect for me. The second awesome fact is that its just so easy to change it to Mullet. At home where the trails are very technical and narrow i prefer the Mullet set up. If I’m on Bikepark missions or on Trails that are faster and not so tight (like in Finale Ligure) i just change the wheel and turn a round the Links at the Suspension and the bike is even more capable in the rear end. So 10/10 i would recommend if you want something that does it kind of all. If you have a burlier Enduro or even a downhiller i would recommend the old one because its just a little bit lighter and for very long days just a litte bit easier to handle.
@@philfort7886 hard to say. As i mentioned above acceleration by pedaling is not its strong point. So if you need a lot of momentum for a technical section the old one is better. If you are going „more or less“ steady over the Rocks, Roots and steps the new one is awesome … there is just so much traction. For long Climbs (on fire roads) its just the weight that makes a difference. The new one is quite a bit heavier.
@@lifebehindbarsonemansstory2189 Totally worth it to ride before you buy! You can go in the morning 🙂, that's what our friends that live in Sedona are doing these days. Good luck!
For Norco there are 5 sizes. When I rented the bike I asked for a Large and they gave me Norco size 4. Here's bike link with the sizing. www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/all-mountain/sight/24-sight-C1/
I'm sorry that you feel that way. I'll try to add more criticisms on my next bike review. The downside that I found to this bike is that it's not poppy and is very planted. If you like a poppy and playful bike... it's probably not for you. Just in case you missed that part.
