Still thinking about new rides for next season. Trying to figure out how close to Area 51 this Norco Optic is and if it would look cool or lame to be matchy-matchy.

I don't understand roof racks at all, compared to hitch mount. Bikes aren't heavy, mostly, but it still having to get it and control it up above your head, plus risk bashing it on any low hanging branches, bridges, or anything else. Just seems like such a pain compared to a nice low hitch mount carrier.Threw one on the "late availability" soft top roof rack to see how it looks.
I'm just not good enough to photoshop onto a hitch rack. Ha.I don't understand roof racks at all, compared to hitch mount.

I haven‘t seen that front linkage fork before - is it OEM? And is that an enduro or downhill bike?This thread looks a little dead, let's liven it up a bit.....

Rear fender is wild!
Very interesting! I’m old and started mountain biking when they first came out as a way to cross-train for motocross. I’ve seen a lot of different designs for both front and back linkages, but never anything quite like that. Is the head tube reinforced?That's a Trust Performance Shout fork.
Incredible fork, unfortunately they ceased operations last year at the start of the covid mess. Hoping they'll get back up and running at some point. Would like to get another.
Enduro bike. Yeti SB150: 150mm travel rear, 175mm front
Fenders may not be pretty, but they're a must up here if you want to ride during the monsoon season.
The Trust forks are a Dave Weagal design. He's the DW of DW link suspensions like those in Evil, Salsa, Pivot and other full-sus bikes.I’ve seen a lot of different designs for both front and back linkages, but never anything quite like that. Is the head tube reinforced?
