the fluid LT pic was borked when I took a peek, but the new shore looks pretty swanky. does the six share a similar redesign of the frame?

good write up cam, i saw the norcos up at crankworx, line up looks pretty sick. they brought back the 4 hun with similer frame design to the 2007 GD frame just slightly different geometry. all the fully's have a nice and clean look to them too. and yes the norco six's ahve a very similer design to the shores

norco is definetely one of the few companies that keep changing their bikes ever year and keep it going in the right direction. i came really close to buying the 07 dh.

Looks like norco is joining the trend and keepin up with the demand of a smaller freeride bikes !

Um, not to be that guy, but what's with the zero-seatpost-adjustability on the Shore? I get it on the DH, but the Shore?

I guess they won't be needing to make a size large then, huh? Even with a telescopic post you'd only get like 3" of seat height adjustability.

Reminds me of the Proflex I had in 1996. I didn't like having my seat height messed with by the manufacturer then and I don't like it now. No sale.

Long live full-length seat tubes!!!!

When is a review of the Atomik coming our way? NORCO has it going on like Jessica Alba! They could drop the weak tires and get some Arrow's on there....but no.

I understand not like telescoping seat tubes, to each their own. However, I must disagree with you claiming only 3 inches of adjustment. On my 2007 shore I chopped the seat tube for clearance and I still get about four inches of height adjustment with out using the telescoping feature. All told I can easily get the seat seven inches higher if I so desire.

As for the A-line, that is an extremely pimp looking bike. I have enjoyed my Norco's for a while partly becuase they are very understated. I have always picked the specs over the paint job. However the industry is getting flashier, and Norco has done some good work to keep up. The camo rims standard will sell some bikes for sure.

Really?

I've been using a tele post on my Team DH for 2 years now with no problems, I haven't heard of anyone cracking theirs in that spot. I've heard of some shock mount problems, not seat mast though.
