What do you ride?

 

[Dirtjumper999]

mmmmmmmm............ green shore 2..............

 

[yuroshek]

i hate to say it but they "look" cheap. i dont like them at all.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

What do you ride?

His mother. hahahhahaha But idiot asshat-ness aside I like the curvy top tubes. I don't general use this term but they look very organic.

 

[Transcend]

They look like walmart bikes. For 2008, Norco has sucessfully made their bikes look cheaper than before.

 

[HEM3]

Is that some kind of joke?

 

[mattmatt86]

Hideous

 

[Patan-DH]

the green totem on the Shore 1 looks dope....I wonder how cool will look in person.

 

[bballe336]

What fork is on the DH Team? It looks like totem lowers but it's a dual crown?

[elRey]

yeah some of those frames are kinda broke.

 

[MrPlow]

I only ride one thing with curves.
A bike isn't it. Great standover, but ewww!

 

[Broken_Spoke]

Hate, hate, hate. Is that all we do now when a company puts a new idea out? Has Norco became too popular for us so we hate it like the other big companies?

 

[stinky6]

looks kind of specelizedish to me, but everyone loves those, must be because there not canadian

Or maybe they just produce really ugly bikes?

I think they're pretty.

Right, cause Orange has definitely set the standard for visual excellence and innovation the past couple years.

Thats a lame comment and you know it. The bikes easily show a considerable amount of improvement and innovation on Norco's part, and will likely still come in at a great pricepoint. Gotta admit, the paint jobs on some don't quite get me stiff, but the frame details and shaping look nice.



Although with all the new companies new lines looking more and more shapely, makes me wonder if somebody has a sale on Hydroform tubes over in asia or something....

 

[luelling]

They kinda remind me of an ugly SX. The best looking bike is the team DH..IMO

Hydroforming is better than sex and you know it.

I am sorry, I must be mislead, I thought that's why we created the internet, to porn and to winge

 

[dropmachine]

I have to admit, my experience hydroforming my weiner is unfortunately less then I like, so I can't compare it to sex.

I am glad to see it showing up further and further down the budget line though, that can only be a good thing.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

Well when I ran a Haro it had a hydroformed top tube and that thing was pretty far down the budget line and this was 4 years ago.

we definitely come in 2nd though

 

[gackrider24]

any guesses on what the shore 1 will weigh?

 

[coma13]

i'd say roughly 30-50 lbs... that's just a guess though.

 

[G3ars0fDH]

lmfao true. I cant believe Im agreeing with the whiny bike nerds but I dont like the new look of the norco's

 

[norbar]

I like the new shore but the a line looks like it was attacked by graffiti fans, drunk and drugged.

 

[blue]

RM has educated snobbiness...MTBr is more like inbred redneck snobbiness.

 

[CBJ]

Nothing wrong with a little snobbiness when its you expensive hobby and its doesn't translate into snobs on the trail.

I will gladly join the snobs when it comes to the new Norcos.

 

[bizutch]

Can't find a pic of the Team DH?
And did I read $4000 retail Canadian? That's $3600 US right.

Got to ride a 2008 Atomic last wednesday. It was a bit small and maybe a tad under sprung for my weight, but all in all I was pretty impressed. The angles felt pretty good and it cornered differently but almost on par with my glory. One thing I did notice is that I could feel much more of the small stuff then with my glory. All in all it was a pretty good ride. I'm interested to see how the team DH feals in a couple of weeks with the different rear shock.

 

[Freeridejerk]

The dh team looks pretty sick, but that shore is quite ugly IMO.
