Why NORCO? Its simple... top quality, great pricing and an excellent range. The brand, from BC Canada, has a long and awesome history, being known around the world for producing some of the best mountain bikes. They also have always sponsored many of the top riders. Currently NZ's top DH rider, Sam 'Blinky' Blenkensop is on their factory DH team. A key reason we are offering these bikes is that we believe they are better bikes and better value then the other brands on offer. If you do the comparisons, our standard pricing will usually beat the discounted pricing of other brands when you compare quality and spec. Top that off with the awesome service we can provide and we hope the decision...
In addition to long weekend rides, a talking point around the shop this week has been the Moustache Samedi 27/9 FS Ti. Moustache bikes are some of the nicest electric bikes we've seen and worked on and their take on a mountain bike is no exception! From the hydroforming and frame construction to the proven Bosch electrics, the quality of these is second to none! A quick ride around the block and the most obvious differences to other electric bikes would have to be the handing of the bike and the power and responsiveness of the electrics. With the additional weight of the motor and battery being centrally mounted, the handling is very neutral - not too dissimilar to your standard...
We've got a nice range of Smith sunglasses and helmets on display in the shop and up online. The Pivlock Overdrive covers the performance end of the eyewear spectrum. Suitable for all light conditions, each pair is supplied with three sets of lenses which are easily interchangeable with Pivlock system. Something that Smith pride themselves on is integration.

The Outlier, Outlier XL and Mastermind are more casually styled and keep the glare out when you're off the bike. Like the Pivlock Overdrive, while not interchangeable, there's a variety of lens types and frame colours to choose from. Love them or hate them (we happen to...
Among this weeks custom bike builds, a noticeable stand-out would have to be this pair of Yeti ASRc's! Both rocking far from standard builds, these things look amazing! His: A large size turq frame with Rock Shox Reba fork, SRAM X01 drivetrain, XT brakes and Thomson cockpit. Hand built by Jeremy - a drool-worthy wheelset consisting of ENVE 50/50 rims laced to the reliable Hope Pro 2 Evo's Hers: A small ASRc Beti frame with matching Fox 32 fork. The Beti's are generally sold as a complete bike but our customer wanted to change a few things. Not a problem, we said! A Shimano XT 2x11 drivetrain, XT brakes and Thomson cockpit all rolling on a set of the beautifully...
Tommy Boy just flicked us these photos. These shots are from the BC Enduro Series round in Retallack. "It was amazing racing, two days of blind racing...similar to 3 Peaks but with more snow. "
Here is a shot in praise of G-Form Pads... "The only scratch I got from overjumping a 30 foot jump and turning it into a 40 foot gap to flat elbow, shoulder and head first landing at the Coastal Gravity Park."
Awesome feedback, thanks Tom!!!
Feel free to send more photos anytime !!
