In this video, we'll ride the 2023 Norco Optic C1, with Fox suspension, the Shimano XTR Group set, and a lightweight carbon frame. My initial test and reaction can be found here:

After spending more time on this bike though, here's how my thoughts changed. One small thing I forgot to mention is the tires that come stock. The Vittoria Mazza and Martello are not near the same caliber as Maxxis, Schwalbe, or other major tire brands. I found myself sliding occasionally, but the rest of the bike absolutely exceeded all my expectations!
Big Thanks to my sponsor who keeps my bike and I in tip top shape, helps me continue YouTube and keep on making better videos!
