Yeah, similar in lower bb and standover, but the frame construction is different again. Norco dropped big bucks for a new mold for their tubing. Hydro formed tubing allows consistent wall thickness for more strength. The design allows an even shorter HT and thus, lower front end.
The down tube also curves near the bb…and the rear end is more beefy. Similar chainstays to the Team Race of 04, but the drop outs are now a true thru-axle design with stainless threaded inserts, and some serious material for strength.
It has the same adjustability as the 04 Race, you can adjust bb height independantly from travel via the shock mount cam. Very cool.
The DHX is killer.
The Shore is now available only as the Shore…no Team, BUT it somes in both a dual chainring build (wine color) and a single ring build (light army green, very cool looking). 8" adjust. to 7".
The Race will be 9" and 8".
