the fluid LT pic was borked when I took a peek, but the new shore looks pretty swanky. does the six share a similar redesign of the frame?
good write up cam, i saw the norcos up at crankworx, line up looks pretty sick. they brought back the 4 hun with similer frame design to the 2007 GD frame just slightly different geometry. all the fully's have a nice and clean look to them too. and yes the norco six's ahve a very similer design to the shores
I remember getting kicked out of Young Drivers for showing up for a lesson hammered.
When I explained what happened to mom and dad I told them I thought if I learned to drive while tanked I would be a better driver coming home after parties. That didn't fly at all, even back in 1980 in redneck northern Ontario.

if they keep this up in 3-5 years i might actually want one(j/k)
norco is definetely one of the few companies that keep changing their bikes ever year and keep it going in the right direction. i came really close to buying the 07 dh.

just buy the a-line now, there team dh frames just get reused as a-lines the next year.
The shore looks sexy.
Very nice tubing , and hopefully some cold forging. Nice attn to detail at the headtube as well !
Looks like norco is joining the trend and keepin up with the demand of a smaller freeride bikes !

Looks like a maxall 360 QR for the rear
Refined look
Nice standover
May be the size in the pic, but appears rather short
Beef:
No adjustable travel?
Telescoping seatpost required

They keep getting better and better.
The 6 at Whistler over Crankworx was nuts!
Way to go!

Um, not to be that guy, but what's with the zero-seatpost-adjustability on the Shore? I get it on the DH, but the Shore?
I guess they won't be needing to make a size large then, huh? Even with a telescopic post you'd only get like 3" of seat height adjustability.
Reminds me of the Proflex I had in 1996. I didn't like having my seat height messed with by the manufacturer then and I don't like it now. No sale.
Long live full-length seat tubes!!!!
There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.
When is a review of the Atomik coming our way? NORCO has it going on like Jessica Alba! They could drop the weak tires and get some Arrow's on there….but no.

But they just can't seem to fix the cracking seatmast problems year after year on the DH rigs.

I understand not like telescoping seat tubes, to each their own. However, I must disagree with you claiming only 3 inches of adjustment. On my 2007 shore I chopped the seat tube for clearance and I still get about four inches of height adjustment with out using the telescoping feature. All told I can easily get the seat seven inches higher if I so desire.
As for the A-line, that is an extremely pimp looking bike. I have enjoyed my Norco's for a while partly becuase they are very understated. I have always picked the specs over the paint job. However the industry is getting flashier, and Norco has done some good work to keep up. The camo rims standard will sell some bikes for sure.

Really?
I've been using a tele post on my Team DH for 2 years now with no problems, I haven't heard of anyone cracking theirs in that spot. I've heard of some shock mount problems, not seat mast though.
The Fluid LT looks pretty sweet…wonder if a coil over will go in there…hmmm….
