Great review! I appreciate the details you put into your video.

[@CapitalMTB]

Thanks!

[@terr256]

Got a 2023 Norco sight. Super tempted to buy the 2024 frame and just move parts around

[@CapitalMTB]

Sick!

[@Daver-2000]

I have my C1 set up with a 170 air spring in the 36, and the DHX2 at 65mm (removed the 5m spacers) for 162mm of travel. I’m running a 15mm (10mm less) Deity carbon bar to offset the increased height. These changes have noticeably made the bike even more capable without adding any weight or effecting position/geometry for regular trail riding. I agree with your opinion that this bike falls into the Enduro side of the category.

[@CapitalMTB]

That sounds rad 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Only Fortune 🤠😊

Nice review! I’m curious what tire pressure you are running on those trails hitting stuff like that. I’m a similar size to you, just looking for a data point.

[@CapitalMTB]

I’m running 24psi in the front and 27 in the rear with cushcore in the rear.

Good review, I think you are spot on! If you're leaning more into the descents, this bike is perfect for what Quebec has to offer. 👌

[@philfort7886]

I live in the province of quebec. I think this would be the perfect bike for the place. It seem to be a good climber and a really good downhill bike

[@andyboy198577777]

I was wondering when you were going to come out with a review of the sight. My prayers have been answered! I bought a 2023 sight last fall and when the 2024 came out, I felt like I should have waited. This review affirmed that so that you! lol. I’ll have to get it asap! I also got a 2024 Patrol but the 2024 Sight looks so much more capable. The patrol really does suit the all mountain category. But being from Montreal, we get to ride a lot of downhill so the patrol doesn’t really suit that need. The sight looks like a monster in that realm. The price tag on yours is really high but date I say, good value? lol.

[@CapitalMTB]

Yeah man this current generation is a monster right out of the box. I had the 2023 sight as well and I suped it up with a zeb and that got it feeling more smashy.

Eatin’ Bugs and Sending Jumps 🤘

[@inkristall]

Random question but is there some sort of protection in the chainstay around the idler pulley? Especially above and next to where the chain goes through? Is it all exposed alloy or carbon fiber? My concern is that the chain could bounce around during rough terrain and wear down that area.

[@CapitalMTB]

Yep there is and the whole system stays pretty calm overall in the rough

[@inkristall]

@@CapitalMTB Cool, thanks for the response!

[@nohamrebut187]

You made me want to buy one😬

[@CapitalMTB]

It’s a sick bike 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@cliffordrichardc]

what is feeling of Norco Sight C1 MX

[@CapitalMTB]

It feels like it needs to be pushed to the limit to unlock its full potential. It’s extremely capable and very at home in janky terrain. The 2025 model has a long travel version which has 170mm up from 160mm which I think would be pretty cool. I’ve personally settled on the new optic MX with the rockshox vivid our back and I over forked it to 150mm. I feel like this is almost as capable as the sight but slightly lighter and more manoeuvrable.

[@philfort7886]

This bike seem to be the best for the mountain bike that want to climb but descend with ease or do some technical stuff

[@CapitalMTB]

Yeah it’s definitely an awesome all rounder
