In every situation i felt great. Last week i smashed the derailleur screw on a rock and had to fix them with an Swiss Army Knife. That's my first real freerider. Buy a Norco VPS Launch and you'll feel like i do. Frame is Great,looks,and handles great.
Bike fells and looks great cant wait till weekend to ride.
When I ordered the bike the color was I thought going to be green but recieved a dark grey not what happend. If your looking for a tank of a bike this is it. The Launch is a great bike at a nice price. The factory installed Axiom flat pedals absolutely suck. Ask your dealer to replace them before taking the bike home.
