I like Norco, at the top on my list. Probably because I own 2 and havent had any problems.

the havoc doesnt look like a bad bike, not alot that can break on it so it should last a long time.

in regards to norco, i love them, i have a 05 aline and i love it ive put it through so much abuse and so far this is nothing wrong with it at all. when i was up at whistler i crashed and broke my headset into 3 pieces, i thought i probobly cracked my headtube or something like that but theres nothing wrong with it at all. although many people will say norco makes heavy bikes, but its not wasted weight, theyre tough bikes.

They are heavy. It is only excessive if you don't abuse them. Damn good bikes for the money

Right here where I live, there is a Norco Bike shop. But to get a good mountian bike ,you gatta spend like $1000. You can't buy anything good for $900 or less. They all come with Bombers, but those ones are like $1000. But you can get something better at a different shop acrosse town. I like it better. Like I could get something with Dirt Jumpers at the other shop for like, $700. That's With Disk Brakes and everything else. Like at the Norco BIke shop down here, for $700, will get you some Mozo's Some bikes have Disk Brakes, and somethings you like to have on your bike.No 8 Or 9 Speeds thou. All 21.

In my books, I would say Norco's you have to pay more for what you want. (That is just my oponion. Not trying to say that you guys are wrong.)

i personally don't like norco, but thats only because i'm a dirt jumper. i think the norcos are a little too heavy to be jumping with. my buddy has one and loves it, but he doesn't jump, a hell of a balancer though. if you're looking for a tank in bike form, buy a norco, i can't recommend anything stronger.

Keep in mind. Fork is temporary. Frame lasts longer. I rarely look at parts when buying a bike

And they are all kids bikes, I don't think that I have seen a good Norco bike under $900. My friend is getting the bigfoot. But My other friend got a bike that the frame and all the parts are almost the same. And it cost like $300 Dollars Less. Not that I'm tryin to say anything, you are right, but you can buy a good bike with a good fork and not have to worry about getting a new one, cuase you have already paid for the on that was on that bike. Like, you said, not like you can't get a new one, it's just you have to pay for that one, then you could have paid like $100 more for a Bomber or something.
