Norco Optic C2

The Optic C2 is a short-travel trail bike designed for aggressive, energetic riding. It excels on technical terrain where you want a bike that feels snappy and responsive while still having the suspension capability to handle rough, fast descents.

The high pivot Horst Link platform with a rearward axle path allows the rear wheel to move up and back when hitting obstacles. This helps the bike maintain momentum over bumps and roots rather than getting hung up, providing a smoother, more composed feel through technical sections.

The chainstay-mounted idler is essential for managing the chain growth caused by the rearward axle path. It effectively decouples the drivetrain from the suspension, which minimizes pedal kickback and ensures the bike remains efficient and snappy when you're pedaling hard.

Ride Aligned™ is Norco's approach to geometry and suspension setup that matches the bike's characteristics to your specific body weight and riding style. It provides a detailed guide to help you dial in your suspension pressures, rebound settings, and cockpit fit for a truly personalized ride.

Yes, this model is equipped with the SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type wireless electronic shifting system. It offers precise, reliable gear changes even under load and eliminates the need for shift cables.

The Optic C2 uses a TranzX dropper post with travel lengths that vary by frame size, ranging from 150mm on the smallest size to 230mm on the largest. This ensures you get the maximum amount of drop possible for your specific frame size.
