I can’t really say that it tickles my pickle.

I’ve been riding a prototype for a while now. I ingeniously hid it by putting ‘Transition Sentinel’ stickers on it.Norco Sight is out, super slack too!

The new Sight now has 150 millimeters of rear travel and a 64-degree head tube angle.www.pinkbike.com
First Look | The 2020 Norco Sight has been totally recalibrated into a future-forward All Mountain bike
Norco has complete recalibrated its flagship All Mountain bike, with the new Sight gaining more muscle and some genuinely progressive geometry to take its descending capabilities to the next level.

Yeah it looks good eh!I can’t really say that it tickles my pickle.
Jam it full of spacers so you only get 70% travel?Interesting move to step away from the 'trail' bike origin in this fashion.
A 160/150mm bike for everyday pedaling is a fair bit of bike to lug around
The Lsst does look great, but I can't notice that it also looks similar to the single pivot Giant Stance but with some extra linkagicity.The Last Glen is out.
Single pivot link driven. Might even get @moorey interested.
I guess you can pay half as much for the same bike with a better STA now. Winning.I’ve been riding a prototype for a while now. I ingeniously hid it by putting ‘Transition Sentinel’ stickers on it.
Looks hot though
Why hello there...Norco Sight is out, super slack too!

I think this really comes down to the bike. With the modern anti-squat tuning and progressive "forward" rider positioning, most pedal bob and sluggishness has been removed. Honestly - the Ripmo has been really surprising me with just how happy it is to be used JRA. To my mind the only disadvantage of the extra travel is it's not "poppy" (it can be tuned to be poppy, but it'll give a lot of feedback in rocks if you do). It's a very efficient pedaller either seated or standing, and I have geometry that works fine for me whether heading uphill or down (currently 64.4deg HA, 76deg seat angle). It sounds like it'd be an absolute sled, but it's actually very mild mannered (When it was 64deg HA it was very sleddy though). To my mind rear rim and tyre selection will have much more of an impact on efficiency than the amount of travel in modern high anti-squat designs.Interesting move to step away from the 'trail' bike origin in this fashion.

Looks like a giantI can’t really say that it tickles my pickle.
Nah, I'll keep the used frame I bought for half as much as a new one. It's obviously still bang on trendI guess you can pay half as much for the same bike with a better STA now. Winning.
Triangle rocker is definitely reminiscent of old reigns.Looks like a giant
Me too. The 2020 Norco Torrent is seriously tempting me!I still want a hardtail.
Get one. You owe it to yourself.I still want a hardtail.
