Norco has introduced two new eMTBs, the Range VLT and the Sight VLT, which use Bosch's Performance CX motor and high-turn suspension layout.
Range VLT
Sight VLT
The Range VLT has 170mm of rear travel, 180mm of fork and a 750 Wh battery. With the suspension layout changes and a new motor system, the Range's geometry has also been updated, with the head tube angle still maintained at 63 degrees, with the main downhill capability. The series is available in two carbon fiber versions, plus an aluminum alloy option, with a starting price of $6,999 and a premium of $8,999.
There is only one model of the Sight, with 150mm of rear travel and 160mm of forks. Considering that Norco also makes a lighter Fluid VLT with 140mm of rear travel, this is a bit overlapping in the lineup.
There is a bracket for the top and bottom tubes, and this small triangular opening can be used to hold a small zipper bag for maintenance supplies and supplies. The screen is integrated into the top tube, and there is a wireless remote control on the left side of the handlebar for four modes, each of which can be adjusted in the Bosch Flow app. The battery is removable, and an external 250 Wh range extender battery will be available in the future, with a 750 Wh battery and an 85Nm motor power in the original car.
As with the previously released Sight and Optic, Norco decided to use a numbered size system (using Arabic numerals directly) for the new series. Available in five sizes from 1-5, the reach starts at 417mm and goes all the way up to 517mm, all using mixed wheel diameters. Chainstay length for a specific size, with a 4mm jump between each size. The seatpost is straight and short enough to accommodate a long-travel dropper seatpost.
The Range and Sight VLTs use Norco's VPS HP suspension layout. This layout provides a rear-axle path for the first two-thirds of the bike's travel, which equates to a total increase of 15mm in chainstay length.
