Norco Optic C2

The Optic C2 is a short-travel trail bike designed for aggressive riding. It excels on fast, flowy singletrack and technical descents where you want a bike that feels playful and responsive, rather than a heavy-duty enduro sled.

The idler pulley is designed to manage pedal feedback, which is the kickback you sometimes feel in your pedals when hitting bumps. By routing the chain through the pulley, the suspension can move more freely over technical terrain without interfering with your pedaling cadence.

Yes, the frame features convertible geometry that allows you to run either 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheels. This gives you the flexibility to tune the bike's handling characteristics to your personal preference or specific trail conditions.

Ride Aligned is Norco's setup philosophy that matches the bike's geometry and suspension kinematics to your specific body weight and riding style. When you purchase the bike, you can use their online tool to get precise recommendations for tire pressure, suspension sag, and rebound settings tailored to you.

The SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain offers incredibly crisp and consistent gear changes, even under load. Because it eliminates the need for a physical cable, you get a cleaner cockpit and less maintenance, as there is no cable stretch to adjust over time.

Absolutely. While it is built for aggressive descending, the Optic C2 is efficient enough for long climbs and all-day trail rides. Its geometry balances stability for descents with a comfortable climbing position, making it a versatile choice for varied terrain.
