[Bike Check] Duncan Riffle’s Norco Revolver

[ad3] A few weeks back at Sea Otter we caught up with Duncan Riffle from SRAM and took a peek at his new Norco Revolver XC race whip. Because the new Sid wasn’t quite ready for public consumption at the time, we had to hold out on publishing this article. Now that the cat is out of the bag, here are the details on his steed.
