The Optic is an aggressive short-travel sled that absolutely rips on descents but can get back up without a gondola.
The Optic C1 sharpens your view on high speed trails.
The precision suspension kinematics and custom DH spec shock creates 125mm of rear travel, matched with a gravity-eating 140mm fork for the control you need to keep your mind on the trail ahead.
REASONS IT'S RAD
- Fast never felt this fun.
- Designed to work so you can play.
- Components selected with speed on the brain.
- Features the Ride Aligned™ Design System.
RIDER BENEFITS:
- RIDE ALIGNED: The Optic uses Norco’s Ride Aligned™ design system which matches each individual bike to the human who rides it, creating a customised platform that is both stable and balanced, allowing the rider to push harder.
- FINE TUNED REAR SUSPENSION: We created the Optic’s suspension design around a very specific spring curve and damper settings, and RockShox and Fox stepped up to build everything we were looking for.
- HIGH SPEED BY DESIGN: By relaxing the Optic’s head angle to 65 degrees for stability, we fine-tuned the handling with reduced-offset forks– providing even more high-speed precision and predictability for a more aggressive trail attack.
- EQUIPPED TO DESCEND: To bolster the Optic’s descending prowess, each bike is equipped with 4-piston disc brakes, shorter seat tubes, long-stroke dropper posts and aggressive knobby tyres.
