Add an adjustable post, meatier front tyre, sintered brake pads and Icetech rotors
Positives
More playful than a puppy on Red Bull. Clean finish with nice touches everywhere you look. Pretty decent value with no obvious spec upgrades needed.
Negatives
The rear suspension linkage bolts loosened off during first few rides, keep an eye on them. Not the stiffest frame we've ridden in comparison to the overall bike weight. Resin brake pads and rotors limit pad choice options.

Well done Norco. This bike sums up what trail riding is all about, fun. So far the Sight has attracted a lot of attention in the mountain bike media, we were eager to find out why.
What’s this Sight all about then? Well, don’t look here if you are after a big-hitting all mountain bike, or a super-efficient endurance bike, the Sight fits nicely in the middle. It’s 140mm travel amount and fairly sharp angles gave us the feeling that the Sight is long-legged trail bike, for rapid riding through steep, tight and demanding terrain.
Note the small black aluminium bolt threaded into the frame. This will replace the derailleur hanger bolt if it breaks off in case of accident, so you don’t need to carry a spare hanger on each ride, very nice touch indeed!
