This bike is super fun and fast! It lives up to all the hype on the web and I highly recommend one if you are looking for a playful AM trail bike. I would compare it to the 2019 Norco Sight with slacker geometry. "This =s More Fun!"

Great job Norco!

Stoked to pick mine up next weekend. Glad to hear it’s fun to ride. Just curious as to why you swapped the rear shock? And why not the dpx2 over the dps

FOX does not offer that size in the DPX2 as an aftermarket shock for the public at this time. They are special order for OEM and FOX's athletes only as far as I know. I am waiting on one to be built for me and should have it in April to put on this bike.

You can always run a 190mm x 50mm shock for a bit more travel if you want. Bryn was doing it. Also, if you get the DPX2, just make sure you don't get the standard base tune offered by Fox. The digressive rebound won't jive well with the progressive suspension on the Optic. It will result in the bike always feeling over-damped during the rebound cycle, even if you open it all the way up.

Love your bike by the way! Good call on those tires too!

Are there no issues at bottom out with the longer stroke shock? I'm pretty curious about this bike. It would be perfect for 98% of my riding but having a longer stroke shock option for a few races a year would be awesome.
