Description

With a low bottom bracket, a 1 1/2-inch-diameter head tube and a Maxle rear end, Norco's Shore 3 is tough, efficient and ready for anything. The 175mm-travel frame is made with hydroformed aluminum for durability and rolls a RockShox 180mm-travel Domain fork up front as well as Fox's Van R coil-over out back to swallow up big hits and rail the toughest descents. Plus, this rig's freeride-worthy specs include Sun wheels with fat 2.5-inch Kenda tires and TruVativ Hussefelt cranks. And, Shimano's 16-speed drivetrain was chosen for its reliability and precision shifting in even ugly conditions, and you get Hayes discs with 8-inch rotors to keep you out of trouble.
