How it compares
On travel, the Norco Sight is right where the “enduro bike” category usually is: 170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 41 bikes. The rear offers 160 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Norco’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Norco Revolver and the Norco Team DH on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
Norco uses RockShox suspension throughout. With the RockShox Vivid Coil Select+, the A2 160 MX build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox ZEB Select Charger RC): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Coil spring (RockShox Vivid Coil Select+): if SAG is off, only a different spring rate will fix it. Preload should just keep the spring from rattling; more preload makes the shock less supple.
Target SAG for the Norco Sight
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Norco gives its own target SAG, use that.
170 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm | 24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm | 28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm | 30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm | 27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.50″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5 / Minion DHR II 27.5x2.4.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
