2007 Norco Team DH frame no shock For SaleAfter a hiatus, Norco has reintroduced the Team DH downhill bike, a high-performance machine engineered for the most demanding tracks. Developed over five years with insights from downhill legends Greg Minnaar, Danny Hart, and Gracey Hemstreet, the new Team DH showcases advanced features designed to elevate rider performance.
Innovative HVP6 Suspension System
At the heart of the Team DH is Norco’s proprietary High Virtual Pivot Six-Link (HVP6) suspension system. This design integrates two additional links to the traditional four-bar setup, enhancing control over axle path and leverage curves. The result is a suspension that remains active to absorb high-speed impacts while providing support in corners and under hard braking. (bikeradar.com)
Adjustable Progression and Anti-Squat
The Team DH offers riders the ability to fine-tune suspension characteristics to their preference. Flip-chips at both rear shock eyelets allow for two leverage rate curve settings, enabling a 2.5% increase in progression for enhanced bottom-out support without compromising initial sensitivity. Additionally, an adjustable idler position provides control over anti-squat, with a 20% reduction available to balance pedal feedback and suspension tracking. (bikemag.com)
Tailored Frame Geometry
To accommodate a wide range of riders, the Team DH is available in five frame sizes (S1–S5), each featuring size-specific rear ends and reach-adjustable headset cups. This design ensures consistent handling and balance across different rider heights, from 5’0″ to 6’6″. (bikemag.com)
