Norco Sight A2 160The Sight 160 is next level - big travel, big spec, and ready for big mountain riding. Whether you're out racing an enduro or love going fast on technical trails, this is your bike to blow through the chunder. Inspired by the gnarliest trails in the backwoods of BC, built for riders living in areas where the terrain demands more out of the bike they ride.
An all-round beefier build to handle everything you throw down. We've stepped up on spec to help you handle more; a 35mm rise bar, big name brakes with metallic pads, Double Down rear tire casing, and coil rear shock with Sprindex spring to ride hard.
All Sight models now include the One Up EDC lite tool to have you covered on the trail.
Longer travel Sight
We've taken the confidence-inspiring stability of a Sight and made it more. Supported up front with a 170mm fork and in the rear with a longer 65mm stroke shock for 160mm; giving the Sight all you need for attacking tech and rougher, BC-inspired trails.
Enduro geometry
Sight 160 features a slacker headtube angle and a slightly taller bottom bracket than our standard Sight geometry to accommodate all the G's you push and obstacles you roll.
Bombproof build
Sight 160 is an all-round beefier build to handle everything you throw down. We've stepped up on spec to help you handle more; a 35mm rise bar, powerful SRAM Maven or TRP brakes with metallic pads, Double Down rear tire casing, and coil rear shock with Sprindex spring to ride hard.
Consistent ride feel
Balanced weight distribution for top-of class ride feel across sizes. Stabilized rear centres with proportional rear ends, and seat tube angles that steepen from S1 to S5, ensure consistent rider weight distribution. Shorter seat tubes with long dropper posts keep the saddle out of the way on technical descents the Sight is known for.
Frame material
Sight 160 is available in carbon fiber composite or hydroformed aluminum with identical geometry, kinematics, and frame features. Both frame materials are offered in a range of component specs and price points so riders can choose the frame material and spec to prioritize performance where it matters most to them.
Precise suspension
Designed with Norco’s VPSHP (Virtual Pivot Suspension | High Pivot) suspension layout, the Sight’s increased rearward axle path improves suspension performance in technical terrain. Through extensive testing using an i-track configured idler location, anti-squat has been tuned for efficiency and responsive feel under power. The idler mounted to the chainstay manages growth and pedal-kick back.
Evolution
VPSHP is the next evolution of Norco’s VPS suspension platform building off years of trail and all-mountain suspension development experience. This design shares many similarities with our VPS layout including a rear axle and brake mounted to the seatstay, rotating about a virtual instant centre controlled by chainstay and upper rocker link while also incorporating the benefits of increased rearward axle path.
Trailside assistance
Never forget your tools again. All Sight models also include the One Up EDC lite tool to have you covered on the trail.
Wheel size
Sight 160 comes specced with a 27.5" rear wheel (MX). Swapping the link arm and lower shock mount with our 'Missing Link Kit' converts between 27.5" and 29" to let you pick the wheelsize that suits you best, while maintaining geometry and kinematics to ensure consistent fit and bike setup.
Ride Aligned
Norco’s NEW Ride Aligned Setup Guide with baked-in Setup Assistant provides a personalized setup baseline, unique to you and your bike without hours of fussing. It’s like having one of our engineers on call 24/7, as you tweak your settings to perfection. Even if you are a shock pump novice, the Ride Aligned Setup Guide will have you confidently dialing in your settings for the best day of riding, every day.
Built to last, guaranteed
Sight 160’s durable frame design, hardware and component decisions have been made specifically to keep the Sight on the trail for longer. Accidents can happen, and when they do, our No Other Way Limited Lifetime Guarantee is our promise to get you back on the trail as soon as possible.
