4SETTING UP YOUR NORCO FULL SUSPENSION BIKE
Our bikes come pre-set for the average rider for the frame size in
question. Proper set-up of saddle height, saddle angle, and rear shock
settings is necessary for your safety as well as the bike’s performance.
Have your authorized Norco dealer adjust your bike properly to get the SEAT TUBE
best fit possible. Refer to the information below for the best set-up of
your Norco bike.
1” PAST SEAT TUBE
REAR SHOCK
To get the best performance from your rear suspension, the
rear shock must be adjusted according to your weight, riding
style and terrain. We recommend a rear shock set-up of
20-25% sag of total travel for cross-country/all-mountain
SWING LINK
applications and 25-35% for freeride/downhill applications.
See the charts for specific lengths. For more information SEAT STAY
refer to the shock manual supplied with your bike or visit the
manufacturer’s web site.
SEAT HEIGHT
Norco VPS bikes use an interrupted seat tube design. Seat posts
must not extend past the bottom of seat tube for extra-small and CHAIN STAY
small frames and no more than 1” past the seat tube for medium,
large, and extra-large frames. We suggest cutting your seat post to
the length that meets your desired style of riding; also you can

Following these safety checks may help avoid preventable accidents, bodily injury to the rider, or a shortened life cycle of a Norco bike or frameset. CHANGING COMPONENTS MAY AFFECT YOUR WARRANTY If you should decide to change components or add accessories, you do so at your own risk. Norco may not have tested that component for compatibility, durability or safety on your bike. We recommend checking with your Norco dealer before changing any components on your bike. Any modification of your frame, fork, or components means your bike no longer meets Norco’s original design specifications and therefore will void your bike’s warranty. MAXIMUM TIRE SIZES Actual tire width can vary greatly between brands (i.e. 26 x 2.5 Nokian versus a 26 x 2.5 Kenda) and is further influenced by rim width. In some cases, you may find that the clearance between the tire and the frame is diminished. Important: wear or damage to the inner chainstay from tire rub (‘tire-buzz’) will void your frame warranty. Remember… if it rubs, don’t run it! TRAVEL INCREASE Each Norco full suspension frame is designed to provide a specific amount of rear wheel travel, depending on its intended use. Things like shock length and stroke, head tube angle, BB height, and fork length are always taken into consideration when building a frame. Altering your bike’s original geometry may yield very different or even dangerous ride characteristics. Furthermore, modifying the frame geometry can place additional stress on components causing potential fatigue or premature wear. For these reasons, we do not recommend Photo: Marc Landry Rider: Justin Brown 16
