The Norco rep Sam Elmes came out with new bikes for people to test out last Saturday. We also had a bunch of bikes from our in house demo/rental fleet available as well for free rides.

Demo rides started from our Phoenix shop, which has pedal access to the Phoenix Mountains Preserve trail system.
We had good turnout with all the bikes booked for the 7am slot. We had to cancel the 10am slot due to unseasonally hot temperatures, but everyone who got out early got a great morning on the trails.
Getting bikes adjusted to hit the trails. A Yeti bike also snuck the photos, 5 points if you can identify which model it is.
The two new models we were most excited to get people on were the new Sight VLT TQ and the new Revolver Gen 4.
The Sight VLT TQ is what we would call the lightest full-power all-mountain e-MTB on the market. Just to put that another way, it's an unbelievably lightweight electric mountain bike for more aggressive style full-spectrum riding (Front Travel: 160mm, Rear Travel: 150mm). Plus, it has a beautiful design and an incredible value for the specs across its build kits. The Sight was definitely in demand and popular.
Meanwhile the Revolver Gen 4 is an extremely lightweight and efficient bike in 120mm and 130mm options. It's your trail bike if you would ride a hardtail, but you want a suspension. It's a good old "analog" bike (no motor, no battery) that we're fans of at the shop.
We have these bikes in long term rental fleet, so you can still book one and get some ride time if you’re curious. Money spent on rentals can be used as credits towards the purchase of a new bike, ask for details.
