A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Norco Sight VLT C1 – The king of the tour with a capacity of up to 900 Wh?

Dec 2021 · Julian Schwede

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!

Norco Sight VLT C2 27.5 ebike review - MBR

Jun 2020 · Paul Burwell

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.

Highs
  • 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.

Lows
  • 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.

Highs
  • Insane high-speed stability

  • Traction-rich suspension & tyre package

  • Long range with piggyback battery potential

  • Eyeball-popping brake power

Lows
  • Quite the heffalump on less-steep terrain

  • Cockpit is cramped when seated

  • Rear shock lacks big-hit support

[R]eviewed: Norco Sight VLT 2

Mar 2019 · Darren Mallard

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 […]
