Are the 2011 norco team dh any good?

Get an Aurum

If u can id definitely spend the money and get an Aurum. So much better than the old team dh's, a lot of research went into developing the Aurums while they were still making the teams, so a 2011 team dh is exactly the same as a 2010 one.
The Team DH's are very well built bikes but come nowhere near an Aurum.
http://tbsm.com.au/bikes/mountain-bike/dh-fr-dual/norco-2012-aurum-2-10980 is about the price of an Aurum 2.

Yeah the Aurum would be better, but if your getting a good deal a 2011 one will not disappoint you...

I received a 2011 frame under warranty, and built it up... So I can't tell you what the fork/shock on the stock bike would be like, but I can tell you the frame is amazing... The bikes jump really nicely and are great to through around in the air, but they are still stable at speed and over the rough stuff...

Also the frame is not actually that heavy... When I get around to replacing my old marzocchi forks (perform great, weigh a tone) it should come in at just under 17kg... not sure what they weigh with stock parts though...


Anyway as I said, if your getting a good deal, the go for it...
