Is this the future of mtb?

I hope so. Then all the current $3K forks will be worthless and I can buy them for peanuts.

Does the new aluminum sight e-bike win the award for the ugliest headtube ever?

Yessss....except still no updates to cable routing for those that run their brakes the right way round! I will take one in grey, how much do kidneys go for currently?

And yet they went to the trouble of moving the dropper post routing fully internal.

I like that they've just done a minor update with this to address the wants of the customer base. They didn't need major changes or wild geo, so it's nice to see this kind of restraint being exercised.

Yeah, nothing too confronting on the new geo charts and brings it into alignment with the AF model as well as further differentiating it from the Ripley.

I was more surprised at the relatively conservative update of the HD5 last year, and wonder if they're making space for an even bigger bike in the works. Probably not though.

WTF is going on with the lower shock mount there? Turns a trunnion shock into a standard shock?

I really feel like Norco told their engineers to make an aluminium e-bike and they went ah fuck it we'll make it out of the shit in the spare parts bin of the normal Sight.

So i can't hate it.

So why are Norco mounting the piggy back sideways, when there appears to be heaps of clearance to mount the normal way?

hahaaha it's weird hey! Looks like mounting is for clearance for the 2nd battery option also
