2009 Norco Forma Series
Posted: Nov 06 2008
Different Bikes has now started to receive new 2009 Norco bikes in stock – one of the most interesting new offerings for us is the women’s mountain bike line-up.
The Women-specific Forma lineup is all new to Norco for 2009. Including four bikes, both the needs of the womens’ freeride and cross-country (XC) markets have been addressed. Developed in conjunction with Norco Factory Team Rider Darcy Turenne, Norco conducted a series of in depth discussion groups and research projects to better understand not only the needs of women but also the fundamental reasoning behind those needs. The first result of this research is delivered as the Forma series. This all -new range of mountain bikes feature women-specific geometry, lighter weight tubing, women-specific parts and feminine influenced graphics.
