Fall / winter weather is here and we have all been forced to calm down a bit from the high-speed bike park frenzy. For me, this is a time to settle back and enjoy the Shore soul rides that I adore – the ones that include a grinding climb followed by a techy descent amongst the fog and mist.


This fall, I have the opportunity to head out on my soul rides on a brand-new, female-specific freeride bike from Norco called the Vixa.

The 152mm / 6” travel Vixa was designed by Norco team rider Darcy Turenne as a light freeride bike or heavier all-mountain bike specifically for women. That means lighter tubing, smaller frame sizing with a shorter top tube, and women’s colours, component selection and detail.
