Product Info
The Norco Sight C2 160 Complete Mountain Bike is the longer-travel configuration of the fifth-generation Sight — a total platform rethink that moved the bike from a conventional layout to the VPSHP high-pivot suspension design proven on Norco's DH bikes. The result is 160mm of rear travel with an axle path that keeps the rear wheel tracking through rough terrain and rolling over obstacles instead of deflecting. It comes stock with a mixed wheel setup, but a swappable shock mount and rocker links mean you can run full 29" with the Missing Link kit if you want to. This build is rounded out with a heavy hitting Fox 38 fork and DHX2 coil shock.
Product Details
Key Features
Carbon Frame
Travel – 170mm Front / 160mm Rear
Wheel Size – Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear)
VPSHP Suspension Platform – 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.
Missing Link Kit Compatible – Swapping the linkarm and lower shock mount with Norco's “Missing Link Kit” converts between 29” and 27.5” to let you pick the wheelsize that suits you best, while maintaining geometry and kinematics to ensure consistent fit and bike setup

Fork
Fox 38 Performance Elite GRIP X2 The Fox 38 is the hard hitting, long-travel enduro specialist. When you need to go really big, reach for the 38.

Performance Elite forks retain the same adjustments, features, dampers, weight, and 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Factory Series, but have black anodized stanchions instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.
This fork features the GRIP X2 damper for maximum adjustability: high- and low-speed compression adjustment, plus high- and low-speed rebound adjustment. - Stanchion Diameter (mm): 38
