I did, but that’s just all marketing talk. It uses the same suspension system.  So in theory, it is just an updated Norco range  The range never accommodated a 75 stroke shock so I bet you they just made some pivot adjustments.  There’s 1 million designs you could do for a bike. It just seems odd to me that they settled on the exact same design as the Norco range.

"From afar, the Team DH resembles the Range - the bike Norco used as a stepping stone to enter World Cup racing again. Norco appreciated the Range's rearward axle path, but the four-bar linkage limited how much travel was possible before the progression went above their desired levels. A high main pivot and idler wheel remain, but other than that, it's an entirely new linkage system."

Range was a 4 bar, the Team DH is a 6 bar.

I guess you are right about this I forgot the range wasn’t the same set up. Whoops.  Never claimed to be the smartest in the room lol. At the end it’s still just a high pivot. Weather is 4 or 6 bars it’s super similar.

“In the end it’s just a high pivot”?


What are you on about? It’s either high pivot or regular pivot. Do you want a pivot below the bottom bracket?


In the end, it’s just a bike, it’s super similar.

Pretty sure those cranks say SRAM. So I'd assume it's the new SRAM thing.
