Norco Performance Bikes 2009

Colourways are big for 2009, and the 125 stands proud

  • Ben Boyko's signature ride, the Empire 5
  • That's right...speckled paint. Nice detail
  • Plush and effective , an FSR design powers the Roco shock
  • The huge hydroformed top tube, strength and lightweight on the Empire
  • The Vixa, Norco's first Women's Freeride bike
  • The Vixa has great graphics
  • Nice fork detail and purple hubs
  • The Fluid 3, the base model
  • Neat head tube detail
  • The heart of a good four bar design: twin shock mount changes travel settings
  • Again, nice graphics complement the bike. This theme flows through the range.
  • The Fluid 2, a great looking trail bike
  • The long rocker in fetching red, very Ellesworth-esque
  • The top end Fluid LT, as ridden by Ryan Leech
  • The beautiful Industry Nine wheels in go faster Orange
  • New Crank Joplin post in 27.2mm, slender and functional
  • Tell us this doesn't look smooth. Urban Brown and nice lines.
  • The Six One in racing red.
  • Nice front end. Note slender head tube over last year's can of beans
  • The Shore One. Production bikes will feature the SRAM Hammerschmidt system
  • How cool is the front end detail? High street fashion, on bikes.
  • And a redesigned frame, lighter and stiffer
  • The Havoc getting ready to play. Ideal for Urban assault
  • A little closer. The Havoc will please those who crave detail
  • And just look at the head tube graphics. Loud and proud isn't the word
  • Safe for white denim wearing Emos, but how long will it stay that way?
  • Take a seat on this Deck chair. Remind you of Brighton Pier?
  • The Ryde. Brighter than the sun!
  • Note internal seat clamp and ultra low standover
  • Plastic pedals don't make noise. Perfect for the Street Nuggets
  • Doddy's favourite, the 125
  • Colourways are big for 2009, and the 125 stands proud
  • Do they?
  • Norco's base DH bike, back in black
  • Like an explosion, burly paint will suit rough riders
  • Adjustable BB height. More detail than most for the money.
  • Gold chain and gold linkage with twin shock mounts. Functional and fly
  • Low stack front end. Perfect for the racers
  • Built in stem. Funn's quality Boxxer stem
  • Even the hubs are trick. Can this bike really be just £2k?
  • The Team DH. Air Sprung Front and Rear
  • Ready to rock. E13 and Saint pave the way
  • Marzocchi air shock with 3in stroke. Light and controlled
  • Sunline wide bars stay with the trend, racer boy friendly
