Let me get a bit more seat time as I've only been riding it on a flow jump trail where it rips. I'm 5 11 on a large with a 50mm stem and 800 bars.would really like to see a review of this bike...high on my list for next frames...
Hmm, well, it would likely be my "one" bike. I ride 75% local tech-y trails with some rocks, roots, jumps. But I need something I can take to the mountains, pedal up mostly fire roads, but them plow down steep, chunky gnar at high speeds. Occasional bike park/lift assist trips too.Let me get a bit more seat time as I've only been riding it on a flow jump trail where it rips. I'm 5 11 on a large with a 50mm stem and 800 bars.
Any specific questions or just a general review?
Yes-Sorry, thought it was a Range, which is what I'd be interested to hear more about. You have/had one, no? Thoughts?That's a sight right?
I'd think you'd want a range.
What there's still one of those out in the wild that hasn't been broken yet????I'm still riding my obsolete POS sb66c. I guess it's alright.
Poor guy is coming off an Uzzi, something along these lines should suffice:Any specific questions or just a general review?
Miraculous!What there's still one of those out in the wild that hasn't been broken yet????
Will wonders never cease!
Yeah you don't want my medium but I'd certainly keep the idea of a large or XL on the list. I bought this after riding a nomad for a month to try it out FWIW. I like the range better. It doesn't climb as well as the nomad but you can actually pump transitions with it. The range is stiffer too.Sounds pretty damn good. I'm 6'1" with a preference for a long-ish cockpit. I typically ride a large.

Process 167 is a really really good bike i ride mine exclusively on trails and love it , i have climbed faster and decended faster then my previous 2013 Process which was a 26" bike as well .Sounds pretty damn good. I'm 6'1" with a preference for a long-ish cockpit. I typically ride a large.
My current bike sits around 34# with pedals (and a coil rear shock).
I don't mind pedaling some weight in exchange for a bit more travel. Have been looking with interest at the new Delirium and Uzzi. Also the RFX. A few friends swear by the new Nomad. Then there's the proc ss 167, Spartan, and Capra. I've considered the Darkside, but seems like too much for me.
Wait, wait, wait...have you been using this bike in the sun?
one of the guys i ride with is on his 3rd carbon Range , each model he has ridden he has cracked it in one spot or another .
Where?
How was the seat angle on the Range for you? Sounds like an interesting bike to me, but the seat angle stood out as a questionable number. Are you going to write a review on this bike? The stiffness factor piques my interest.Yeah you don't want my medium but I'd certainly keep the idea of a large or XL on the list. I bought this after riding a nomad for a month to try it out FWIW.

top tube was his 1st frameThe iscg mounts were that very first run with a recall and all. I figured that was probably one of them.
Top tube is kinda gnarly..........
Correct mine is a Sight but here are a few thoughts as it might relate to the platform and help others. Mine is a large with generally stock parts. Converted to 1x it's 26lbs with pedals and tubes. It's my first modern enduro style bike and it definitely comes alive with speed. The faster the trail the better the bike works. Really tight choppy technical trails make me wish I had gone with a smaller size.Yes-Sorry, thought it was a Range, which is what I'd be interested to hear more about. You have/had one, no? Thoughts?
I would be very curious to know if you could run the swingarms from the smaller bikes on the larger ones. For those unaware Norco uses increasingly longer rearends and heavier carbon layups as the sizes increase.
I have added a dropper post, which converted my DJ to a "new" ENDURO bike.
Lack of clearance?Those Yeti "DJ" frames always confused me with their lack of clearance and long seat-tubes.
But I suppose "Heavy XC" just didn't have the same pull for dental students at the time.
XC geometry wasn't actually too far off most 26" DJ frame Geometry at that time.As best I remember in 2004 when these came out, XC geometry was no where close to this DJ's geometry.
