Norco went through a long periods of making hideous bikes. Seem to have sorted themselves out now, all their bikes look "right" now

Would you say that was comparable in role to a Bronson then? Since I've been thinking of buying a full-sus, I keep going back to a Bronson, but this is half the price...

definitely. Its along the same lines/capabilities of the Stumpy Evo's etc. Its a really good/capable trail/AM/Enduro/latest-hype bike.

I prefer the Alloy one to the Carbon model in all honesty. (I ran a carbon one for a short while last year)

Weird. Dunno why, but the Norco sight is the only FS bike that I have seen for a long time that makes me think, "hmmm, I'd quite like to get one of those".

Dunno why though, as it looks like a fairly generic FS to me. But for some reason.....

Not a bad spec for 2k, that. Fork is a bit wimpy, I guess.

It's more of a 5010, I reckon this is bronson-a-like, not that I've been looking, ahem..
