Summary
The Norco Sight is a versatile enduro bike praised for its plush suspension and balanced riding position, making it comfortable on long rides and capable on both climbs and descents. However, it faces criticism for its weight and handling in tight corners, with some models experiencing reliability issues. The bike's high-speed stability and traction-rich setup are highlights, though its performance on less-steep terrain and cramped cockpit are noted drawbacks.
Plush suspension for long rides
Balanced riding position
High-speed stability
Traction-rich suspension & tyre package
Capable on climbs with long rear end
Weight penalty due to large battery
Long chainstays make tight corners cumbersome
Cramped cockpit when seated
Unreliability issues in some models

The Norco Sight provides a balanced riding position which, together with the plush suspension, allows you to stay comfortable on long rides.
E-Mountainbike MagazineThe Norco Sight VLT C 29 eMTB is a great ebike for all around trail riding, and I’d say it really shines when taken to MTB oriented trails that permit electric assist bikes.
Jeff Kendall-WeedWith its limousine wheelbase, hefty weight and big Maxxis tyres, the Sight VLT 29er is (unsurprisingly) ridiculously stable.

The Norco Sight VLT C1 has enough reserves for long days in the saddle with its Shimano EP 8 motor and 900 Wh battery. We've put the eMTB to the test!

The Canadian brand Norco brought the heat for 2022 with its updated VLT line of e-mountain bikes. Norco will offer a shorter-travel, trail-style Fluid

My ride review of the Norco Sight VLT eMTB.

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.

Wil Reviews The New Norco Sight VLT 29er It seems like only yesterday that we were riding the (then) new Norco Sight VLT, which to this day remains as one
Insane high-speed stability
Traction-rich suspension & tyre package
Long range with piggyback battery potential
Eyeball-popping brake power
Quite the heffalump on less-steep terrain
Cockpit is cramped when seated
Rear shock lacks big-hit support

This Norco Sight VLT 29 handily won our Trail Smasher Award, but it is definitely not the bike we'd recommend to everyone. Read our review to find out if you have the right kind of terrain to make this bike work.

With the E-Bike market expanding faster than my waistline over the festive season, it is with no surprise that Norco has decided to come to the party. While a lot of companies have been fast to produce e-Bikes stemming off their regular bike lineups, Norco have been hiding theirs deep in the Squamish forrest, growing, improving, becoming a full grown beast. Through the development process they focused on it feeling as playful and capable as the rest of their line […]
