2023 Norco Optic Inventory

Exactly how a modern trail bike should handle.

The Optic is faster and more fun than any other 125mm trail bike. That's why it was the Pinkbike 2019 Mountain Bike of the Year. The 2023 model will continue that reign. Speed has never felt so thrilling. The steering geo is just perfect for charging descents without sacrificing your precision and maneuverability.

The custom suspension is designed around custom tuned RockShox and Fox shocks. Made to work so you can play as hard as you want. You also get four-piston 180mm disc brakes, short seat tubes, and long stroke dropper posts. Also a Ride Aligned system for precise rider metrics.
