Norco has been tinkering and lighting its VPS series for a few years now ever since the 2001 Team DH came
out. In 2002 we saw the Fluid and 4x4, open framed bikes that had lots of stand over and were significantly lighter
than past VPS models. The for 2005 Norco changed the VPS forever and introduced the new XC line of VPS bikes with the shock
positioned vertically. This was a huge departure from past models which used an interrupted seat tube with the standard four
bar, horizontally mounted shock frames. Now it seems for 2006 Norco may take it a step further with a new 4cross bike seen
at the Advil Outdoor Adventure Show this weekend at BC Place in Vancouver. Looks like Norco has some plans for there trusty
but aging VPS bikes
