So they tried to make their (probably) best selling MTB more versatile (=> for the masses) and gave it a proprietary shock and cancelled mechanical drivetrains. Does that make any sense???

Wireless-only... taking the worst ideas of the road cycling world and transferring them over to mountain biking.

Crappy day for MTBing industry. More wireless shifting with some questionable decisions. Bike completely built around wireless shifting with a 5k+ minimum build. More proprietary shocks that may have a cool theory but won't exist or be relevant in 5-10 years. Patiently waiting for Spesh to release an alloy trail bike that combines the old stumpy, stumpEVO, and Status line up that is ACTUALLY budget minded. Something similar to the alloy Chisel model. Patientlyyy...

Are these frames exactly the same besides the shock mount/rocker link? Looks like it to me. That would explain the portly Optic. My aluminum 160/170mm coil HP bike is lighter with equivalent tires. Sight looks cool, but as someone that has many years on high pivot bikes I prefer my shreddy short travel bike to weigh like 5lbs less than the Optic on not have an idler. YMMV I was under the impression that Transmission required an additional guide like the MRP MXg to limit chain growth - sounds like the PB guys had some issues with shifting.

Norco's Optic created a lot of buzz for being a short-travel ripper with aggressive geometry when it last underwent a redesign in 2019. Meanwhile, the Norco Sight remained the silent workhorse in the mid-travel category focused on excellent all-mountain performance. For 2024, Norco has elevated the downhill performance of both bikes thanks to a new high-pivot suspension design. They maintain their respective on-trail handling while blurring the gap that separates the two bikes. The Optic now blends enduro-like geometry with short-travel trail performance, and the Sight packs enduro bike suspension performance into a more efficient, lightweight package. With more changes...

re: seatpost sizes - actually, yes we do need the stiffness of the larger 34.9 tube. Not really a "performance" thing, just a reliability of dropper posts thing. I think we blew past the optimum design specs for a 31.6mm tube when droppers reached about 170mm travel so making posts longer than that is a huge challenge if you only have 31.6mm to play with!

SuperBoost can GTFO! If DH bikes can be made to work just fine with 148, why does Superboost exist on trail bikes? I often swap wheels between bikes, I have one set of "enduro" wheels that I've used on at least 4 bikes. Currently, all my bikes, other than my fat bike and dirt jumper have 148 spacing and it's come in handy. Last summer, I had a rock go through a rear wheel on my trail bike 3 days before leaving for a 10-day riding trip in Iceland, I broke 3 spokes and knew I wouldn't get the wheel...

Superboost for sure, good wheels are expensive and there are many bikes I won't even consider because my nice wheels won't transfer easily.

Get frames to spec 8x30 shock hardware on every frame every time- can run standard hardware or bearings that way. More compatibility for shock swapping. 34.9 seat posts 49mm chain line (6mm offset chainrings) Design 29” bike kinematic for 30t chain rings 31.8 handlebar Everything is pretty amazing now considering where we were 10-15 years ago.
