Norco Optic A.3 is an entry level full suspension trail bike. Suited to the rider who is either upgrading from an older mountain bike, or is looking to get into the sport with a bike that will last the distance.

The Optic features progressive trail geometry which has been carefully tuned across each frame size to give every rider the same optimal fit and ride quality, while A.R.T. suspension delivers both efficient climbing and lively, capable descending.

The Optic was designed from the ground up in two wheel sizes, offering the choice between the quick acceleration of 650B or the improved rollover and momentum of a 29er.To make your choice easier, Norco optimized the geometry of the 29er to share the same fit and handling characteristics of the 650B version

he Optic A3 has an entry level build kit to get you on the trails without costing the earth. It features Rockshox suspension front and rear, the Recon fork and Monarch shock give outstanding performance at a bargain price.

A Sram NX 1×11 setup keeps the drivetrain a simple affair, and Trans X dropper seat-post gives you on the fly saddle adjustments with a simple lever in place of your left hand shifter.

The Norco Optic A.3 is a capable dual suspension bike in two wheel sizes to suit rider size and personal preference, ideal for the trail rider who enjoys a lively and fun ride.
