The Norco Sight VLT C2 27.5 is the power-assisted version of Norco's award-winning trail bike. Here's the final verdict on our long term test bike.
Supple and sensitive rear suspension, well-balanced frame (when new) looks a million dollars.
Whopping 630Wh battery offers extended range and reduced frequency between charge cycles.
Sorted component array out of the box: short stem, wide bar, soft-compound Maxxis 3C tyres, size-specific dropper post.
Unreliability is the Achilles’ heel of most e-bikes, and the Norco has suffered more than most with two extended periods of inactivity.
The lack of a chain device has caused untold damage to the underside of the carbon frame.
To keep it in place, the rubber charging port cover needs a more secure attachment and a tether, so you don’t lose it.

For a first entry in the world of e-mountain bikes, Norco have delivered a cheeky headbutt to a lot brands that have been in e-bike realm for a number of years. The Sight VLT has raced straight to the head of the pack, leaving very few areas for improvement. That sounds pretty positive, why …
The handling!
Lively suspension that doesn't feel like your typical eMTB.
Great range.
Beautiful frame construction.
Why no water bottle?
Handlebar clutter and cable mess.
Battery is non-removable.
