We have a lofty goal at Norco to be #1 in ride quality. We focus an immense amount of time on designing and testing bikes that offer the best rider experience possible out on the trails. We know as mountain bikers we have the best experiences on our bikes when we feel confident and in control no matter what the trails throw at us. Suspension plays an essential role in providing that sense of confidence and control that is so key to achieving our ride quality goals.

One size does not fit all when it comes to suspension design since the demands of different categories of riding differ and what we look for in a suspension layout differs as a result. There’s no one suspension layout that is ideal for everything from XC to DH. Building on our commitment to ride quality, we use different suspension layouts for different models and these suspension layouts are selected to ensure our bikes excel on the trails they are designed for.
