Bigfoot
Origin
Norco, the British Columbia (Canada) brand, introduced the Bigfoot in 2014 as an affordable, versatile fatbike for snow, sand and anywhere else. In 2020 it received a major redesign — steeper 68.5° head angle, longer wheelbase, lower bottom bracket, internal routing and bikepacking-oriented cargo/rack mounts — shifting its character (in the words of one reviewer) from 'character-building' to 'downright fun'. The lineup spans the 27.5" Bigfoot 1 and 2 down to the 26" Bigfoot 3, with a suspension-fork variant for rougher terrain.
Specifications
- Frame
- Norco Bigfoot Butted X6 6061 aluminum, internal cable routing, two bottle mounts in main triangle + third set of bosses on downtube, rear rack mounts (bikepacking-oriented since 2020 redesign)
- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- Bigfoot 1 (2025): Shimano Deore 1×12 (RD-M6100 derailleur, SL-M6100 shifter, CS-M6100 10–51T cassette, Praxis Cadet M30 32T crank). Earlier/lower trims used SRAM NX 11sp or Shimano CUES 11sp 11–50T.
- Brakes
- SRAM Level hydraulic disc, Avid G2 rotors 180mm front / 160mm rear, organic pads (2025 Bigfoot 1). Some trims use Tektro HD-M535 4-piston.
- Wheels
- 27.5" (Bigfoot 1 & 2; Bigfoot 3 uses 26"), ~75mm-wide fat rims, sealed-bearing hubs (15×150mm front / 12×197mm rear). Older builds used Sun Ringlé Mulefüt 80SL.
The verdict
- Affordable yet solid component spec for a fatbike (Deore 12sp, dropper post included on Bigfoot 1)
- Stable, confidence-inspiring winter geometry with low ~755mm standover — easy to foot-dab in deep snow
- Versatile bikepacking frame: multiple bottle/cargo/rack mounts and big main triangle for a frame bag
- Dependable dropper post and braking — reviewer said brakes 'performed flawlessly'
- Studdable Vee Snow Avalanche tires give excellent floatation and traction in snow and sand
- Heavy — rotating weight from the factory fat tires (~9 lb of tire) makes it feel sluggish vs lighter fatbikes
- Wide fatbike Q-factor can cause knee discomfort on longer rides
- On older/lower builds a quick-release rear dropout was used as a cost-cutting measure
- Brake-lever placement could interfere with the grips (noted in review)
- Rigid stock fork transmits trail chatter; suspension only on the pricier variant
