The norco is nice but the new dh team is nicer in my mind.

I reckon I'd pick the Norco just to be different, it looks sweet in white and the 06 version is trimmed down from last year, reviews said it was well flick-about-able.  Both good frames though.

Well, you seem to be after a full sus rig, so disregard the rR Big on those grounds immediately.

The Giant is a relatively simple single pivot, but has been proven in competition many times over.

The Norco has the best suspension system of the three and also comes in white. A sure fire winner all the way from Canada.

Do you work for Norco?


The gaint is single pivot BUT it's linkage activated so it's much more responsive than a straight single pivot. It also has a very low centre of gravity so it handles better.

I haven't ridden the 06 Norco but the 05 had a stupidly steep head angle.

I ride a 2003 norco shore which i really like, its a really nice bike however i havent owned any other full sus rigs.  I was put off norcos after seeing some of the 04 and 05 bikes and thought i wouldnt end up buying a norco again but after seeing that 06 my mind has changed.  Its stunning!  Grin

I think on looks alone id go for the norco out of your choices, but i cant comment on performance because ive never ridden the bikes.

as for discarding mr big supercross have you ever ridden one? I think you will find that they ride nicer than most dh bikes out there and are a lot more faster.
