Remember the Norco Shore Saga?
Well, it's over!
Finally, a happy end to the story!
I bought the Shore as my first test bike for this channel which was a big commitment. I had the vision to review it and then turn it into an enduro superbike of the future but...
...I had a load of major problems which we managed to solve over 5 months.
In the end, I had literally one good run on the bike, then we had to strip and return it to Bike24 as the frame was cracked and I got a full refund.
Since then Norco has fixed all the problems I highlighted (so it was not just me moaning!) and has sent out new frame parts and bike components to existing owners changed the specification on the new models, changed their setup guide and manufacturing processes all thanks to my independent review!
This bike was a nightmare for me, but ultimately Shore customers are getting their existing bikes upgraded or better bikes in the future.
This is what I'm here for! #buildbikebetter
I lost loads of time and money on this bike doing all the work, testing, filming, fixing etc. Basically doing a lot of R+D / development work for Norco. I'd estimate a minimum of £5000 of expenses and a half-decent day rate for the work.
So if anybody would like to make a donation to help this project move forward head to my bio to donate via Linktree, Kofi, or buy tickets on my website to support these reviews!
I'm sure Norco has had a good few years of business like the rest of the industry and won Bike of the Year on Pinkbike. Any donations are welcomed from them too, which I will be happy to tell my followers about!

These products are bought at full retail price, and the reviews are funded 100% by competition ticket sales and donations. Buying a ticket not only gives you a chance to win cool bike stuff but also to support more and more independent reviews. This is a community effort, you can support these reviews, or get your information elsewhere which is always funded directly by the brands or through their advertising budgets...
If you like my work, what I stand for, and this crazy Bike Farm project you can donate a little directly to me with Ko-fi. All proceeds go towards this project as I literally have nothing else to do!
