As weekend freedom moves from a distant possibility to being so close that you can taste it, once again we’ve searched the cavernous treasure halls of BikeRadar for the newest and shiniest bikes and bits of kit for your delectation. Cast aside that work you were (possibly) doing and come and have a virtual fondle of this week’s winnings…
New mountain bike gear
Norco Range C9.2
While it’s a distinct possibility that your weekend plans might involve the sort of optic that dispenses alcoholic relaxation, we’ll be spending ours riding this rather green Optic C9.2 to joyous oblivion. We covered the launch of the new Norco Optic a while back and if you’re curious enough to click that link you’ll find that this Optic is also capable of giving you double vision, with both 29er and 650b variants available.
The bike pictured here is the big wheeler, sporting 120mm of travel up front matched to 110mm from the four-bar rear end. As befits a modern bike, it’s got Boost hub spacing from and rear, while the carbon front triangle has loads of clever touches such as tubing that increases in diameter as you go up the sizes to keep the ride feel the same for heavier riders. It’s got a thoroughly on-trend stumpy 50mm stem and decently wide bars paired to reasonably long and relaxed geometry, so we’re optimistic that the handling won’t have us falling on the floor. Trebles all round!
