Key Features
About This Bike
The 2023 Norco Optic C frameset is a highly advanced and meticulously designed mountain bike frameset that offers exceptional performance and versatility. It combines the strength and lightness of a carbon front triangle with the durability and affordability of an aluminum rear triangle, striking a perfect balance between weight savings and robustness. This frame composition ensures a nimble and responsive ride, allowing riders to tackle various terrains with confidence and ease.
One notable feature of the Norco Optic C frameset is the Universal Derailer Hanger. This hangerless interface is compatible with different derailleurs, offering flexibility and ease of maintenance. It allows riders to easily switch between different drivetrain setups without the need for specific hangers, providing convenience and versatility.
Another key component of the frameset is the RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock. With 125mm of travel, this high-performance shock absorber ensures smooth and controlled suspension, enabling riders to confidently tackle technical descents and rough trails. The Super Deluxe Ultimate is known for its reliability and adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune their suspension settings to suit their riding style and preferences.
The frameset also features a press-fit bottom bracket, which provides a secure and reliable interface between the frame and the crankset. This type of bottom bracket design enhances power transfer efficiency, enabling riders to transfer their energy more directly to the drivetrain. The press-fit bottom bracket also helps to reduce weight and increase frame stiffness, further enhancing the overall performance of the bike.
In summary, the 2023 Norco Optic C frameset offers a range of impressive features that make it a top choice for mountain bike enthusiasts. From the combination of a carbon front triangle and aluminum rear triangle for optimal strength and weight savings, to the Universal Derailer Hanger for easy compatibility with different drivetrain setups, this frameset is designed to deliver a superior riding experience. The inclusion of the RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock ensures excellent suspension performance, while the press-fit bottom bracket enhances power transfer efficiency. With its innovative design and high-quality components, the Norco Optic C frameset is built to excel in various riding conditions and elevate the performance of any rider.
