Norco Bigfoot 1 Suspension
$3,499
The Bigfoot 1 Suspension is capable of hitting the full range of trails in winter, not just groomed cat tracks. The 100-mm Manitou Mastodon Pro EXT fork can absorb the hits that tires at 6 p.s.i. can’t manage. An X-Fusion Manic dropper post lets you get behind your saddle on steeps, while a 12-speed Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain powers the Bigfoot. The bike rolls on 27.5" Sun Ringlé Mulefut SL rims and 4.5"-wide Vee Snow Avalanche tubeless-ready, studdable tires. Switch to tubeless . . .
