For me the Range is the surprise of 2021 I´m super interested in it and pretty sure that this has high potential to be my next whip. - Caro is a Diamond - But maybe you can interview Lewis Buchanan and ask him a few questions too? What about Norco testing DH frames with the same linkage system right now? I heard they´re currently doing that.
Their world cup DH team uses the same frame with a custom linkage and longer stroke shock to get more (200mm? they haven't said) rear wheel travel. I believe it is the same rear triangle but I could be wrong, definitely the same front triangle.
I have a 2020 Norco Sight and the bike is amazing! I don't do it justice but at least I will never be under biked!! With Norco's Ride Aligned system and the geo these bikes are mind blowing. I can see some similarities in design thought between the Sight and the Range. I happened on to mine by chance in December at my LBS and have no regrets. Just for fun Doddy, see if you can get your hands on the new Sight and review it. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. And good luck Caro!!
She is cool and so is her bike. Nice to see somebody breaking out of the SRAM-only scheme and rinding the best fitting mix. Her dropper looks quite high up and I guess that‘s not a 170mm travel.
What a weapon, makes my santa cruz mega look simple. Was wondering how many links these chains need. They look lomger than the availible 136 links for ebikes. Might be an issue to get a chain.
2 quick links is 2 possible problems, as is linkimg together a chain with a piece of an other. But I suppose a 136 link chain for ebikes might do the job. It look like a crazzy long chain to me
I have a weird question. I want to go tubeless but my wheels are with schrader valve openings. Can I use car valves instead of bike ones safely? Plz help.
can you do a trek slash 7 review, I just baught one and id love to know what you think about it as its a more entry level enduro bike, keep up the good work!👍
Wow, that rear linkage looks quite similar to the old GT Pathlink system on my old 2014 GT Force. Would love to see a detailed comparison between these systems :)
Blaming a Bike only cause it has press fit? The Bike gets so much Attention cause of its geometry and how Well it Overall works, Press fit ist still a good system even If Not everyone can remove it easily. The Range is an amazing Bike For going Downhill, i live in a Region with really tough Trails and the my Range let me feel comfortable on all Trails, IT only sucks at uphill a little but thats really usually For a Bike thats Made mainly For dh
@@Powerhugful @Mike D you Said with other words that the Range doesnt deserve that much Attention Just cause it has PF BB and i Just Said that the Bike gets the Attention cause of its geometry and that Pf BB isnt that bad then i added my Personal experience with the geometry and the Bike Overall. Dont Mix Things Up i never Said that you Said that the Bike is bad i just Said that the Pf BB isnt Something important at all especially cause the geometry is Something Special (sry If my sentences dont make that much sence or If i have a Bad grammar english isnt my mother tongue)
@@KaiMueller You're right, maybe I phrased it incorrectly. I tend to focus on the negatives first, unfortunately. It kinda does my nut in when I see something that's trying to push the "mold" of how things are done and then goes and overlooks something like that. I do think the bike as a whole is impressive and I do like it, except for that BB. PF is atrocious, in my personal opinion, and needs to be a thing of the past. Having a threaded BB is a must for me.
Nice work on the audio! Windy day, clean audio. Sweet!! Of course, I want the bike.
You got her head turning now with that 170 vs 165mm crank comment! Nice bike and super cool rider.
That is my dream bike 🤯🤯
Same as me! Although I know I can’t afford it😔
@@gabrielsegura1530 buy the cheaper models, almost no difference between each other and much more affordable
@@willshawyer7280 the cheapest one is still 6.8k...
@@al-vz8cn for the spec it’s got That’s still pretty good
@@willshawyer7280 it's okay but I'd still rather a meta 29 with Zeb ultimates for 300 less or a nukeproof giga with the same spec for 5100
Another great bike check. Thanks for posting.

High Pivot bikes are really on the rage right now and I can say for certain that all of them look amazing and surely handle very nice.
Nice bike 👍 great video as always thank you all and see you next time ❤️

This is absolutely my Dream bike! I am in love with this thing. Everything is what I'd chose. Fox and SRAM 👌 mwah! So sick!!!
Thanks..what a nice person , and Doddy too .

it is not 170, its 200
Amazing bike. Thank you for sharing.
Sickest non-boutique bike out there
I love this bike and wish I had one. Looks well thought out.

One regular SRAM EAGLE chain is enough!
@@TwinsMTBRacing a regular chain is 114 links, they dont even fit on an ebike. There are way more linka on that bike
Well I know that for my bike one eagle chain was enough... 🤷♀️

Excellent bike!
Nice bike Caro 😍
Awesome looking bike. I can but dream.
Why isn't she using a longer dropper?
Because it's already a 200mm post... I just have awfully long legs! 😅🤷♀️
it is 200mm
She is 180cm tall I think?
Plefooora!😄
Nice bike
I have a weird question. I want to go tubeless but my wheels are with schrader valve openings. Can I use car valves instead of bike ones safely? Plz help.
Get schrader valves for tubeless, they do exist. Car valves need an bigger hole in the rim.
Yep I got them from a local shop they just had to order them from stans tubeless
can you do a trek slash 7 review, I just baught one and id love to know what you think about it as its a more entry level enduro bike, keep up the good work!👍
hello what is a beautiful place in the mountains?
can u show us how to properly clean bikes
Looks great
Oh, and the bike is nice too. 😉😅
Another amazing bike that’s out of my price range but I can still dream
I like the 60 mm dropper post 👍
its 200
Where in which region is that??
Canazei, Italy
Wow, that rear linkage looks quite similar to the old GT Pathlink system on my old 2014 GT Force. Would love to see a detailed comparison between these systems :)
I'd want to climb some hills on it first just to verify the claimed climbing ability 😅
Just curious is it the frame design that is limiting the dropper length, seems like an awful short dropper with a lot of exposed post.
It's a 200mm post, that's definitely enough for most people.
its 200mm
It’s 200mm
Tidy

Meh don't care much for norco.
So much attention for a bike that still has a PF BB in 2021... that's just lazy AF.

Wow, I wonder how she fits through trees with that 760cm handlebar! 🤯
this is joke?
@@RCKING1 Read that again.
Why doesn't she run a longer dropper?
