Norco or Scott?
Hi Folks.
I'm trying to decide between buying a Norco 6/1 or a Scott Ransom 40 (In the UK, the 06 versions are roughly the same price) I currently ride a Saracen hardtail, weighing 37 lbs, & my riding could mostly be described as "All Mountain", but I want something which exceeds my downhill skills, cos I want to explore that, but I also don't want to die on the uphills. Any comments/opinions/comparisons welcome, before I spend a 4 figure sum on a new steed. Steve |

Steve The Six 1 hands down, but then I'm biased, cause thats what I have The Six is my first dual suspension so I dont have much to compare it with. I built mine up from bits (custom build) so the first couple of weeks I was getting everything dialed in, but I haven't put a spanner on it since (5 months), its been bloody great. Over the christmas break though I plan to do a nice big service... Just have to wait for my chain tensioner to arrive and I'm set! Cant wait! Cheers Dre |

Norco or Scott?
Hi Folks (again)
Thanks to (Dr) Dre for replying promptly. Has nobody out there got anything to say about the Scott Ransom So far, I'm thinking there's nothing between them except : The Norco looks cooler! (dude) The Norco is ~ 4lbs heavier (bummer dude) The Scott uses their own rear suspension. (Dunno dude, what's suspension???). Comments anyone. It's gonna be the biggest purchase since I bought my house, so I really need some info about both. Steve |
