Norco Bushpilot (2011)

The Norco Bushpilot (2011) is an entry level mountain bike from Norco's Adventure series designed more so for light trails and city riding, versus some of its more superior Norco counterparts from the XC Hardtails and Race XC series.

Featured on the Bushpilot is an ultra lightweight aluminum frame with a sloped top tube that allows users to ride fairly fast while easily maintaining control. There’s also a special Suntour Travel Fork designed to more easily lock out, which in turns makes it easier for bikers to ride up hills. And though the Bushpilot isn’t necessarily geared for deep and rough trails, it features tough double-walled 26” wheels with stainless steel spokes so users can more easily traverse through such terrain. Even more helpful is the shifter, which hosts 24 separate gears so that users can quickly switch speed, whether suddenly going down a steep road or trying to climb a gravely pass.
