NBD: Sonder Evol, Norco Optic & Sight, YT Decoy Core, World Cup tickets…

The back end of the Norco is a challenger to Haibike in the ugly bike competition. The YT looks a blast.

I like the new Sight but it looks much better in a single colour.

I did quite fancy Fort William this year until I saw the price of accommodation in town. It’s probably cheaper to travel to VDS for the World Champs.

It’s probably cheaper to travel to VDS for the World Champs.

You’re probably getting cheap accomm in VDS because World Champs are in Andorra though.

Yeah I definitely meant to say Vallnord. It’s because I’d just been talking to a work mate about my trip to Val di Sole.

Those norcos must be good. Noone would make something that ugly if it didn’t work.

@sharkattack check the polish round – I priced it up and its not a lot at all – the local bike park/ trail centre place has some info on their website. Flights are bobbins, hire car, and plenty of cheap digs in the little mountain village nearby. Could be good fun, I’m seriously considering a Mon-Fri escape. DH and EDR too on same weekend.

I think the Norcos look pretty good, as doe the Sonder (shame abou the mullet wheelsize or i might don a frame swap)

The YT however looks fat and pregnant at the same time!!

I really like the look of the Norco though never ridden a high pivot so no idea if I would actually like it. Only a few models being imported it seems unfortunately so might not see many of of them around.
