Norco shook up their catalog for 2020, and while the model names may be the same, the bikes themselves are significantly different. Take the Sight, for instance. It previously had 130mm of rear travel and fell squarely into the trail category, but the latest version now has 150mm of travel and a 160mm fork up front.
