The Range VLT is a big, burly eMTB that sits in the 'shuttle truck replacement' category.

Highs
  • Great downhill performance

  • Big battery allows for big rides

  • Quicker handling than the geometry would suggest

Lows
  • Split between sizes may make sizing tricky for some riders

  • Heavy, even for a full power eMTB

Mar 2022 · Scotty Prendergast

Let’s not beat around the bush; you know it, we know it, we all know it… Everything new that Norco releases at moment is rad! Born and breed in the backwoods of the Canadian high country, Norco bikes have developed a very good reputation for delivering the absolute goods when it comes to mountain bikes and why wouldn’t they? The shredders from Norco Bikes have been at the helm of MTB since pretty much day dot. Words // Scotty Prendergast  […]

2022 Norco Range Review | A hefty high pivot hooligan with a need for speed

Dec 2021

The Norco Range looks mighty menacing with its low-slung coil shock, raked-out geometry and High Virtual Pivot suspension design. But could this actually be too much bike? We've been testing the 170mm travel enduro beast to find out - read on for our 2022 Norco Range C2 review.

Highs
  • Insane level of momentum on fast and rough trails

  • Huge stability and confidence-inspiring handling

  • Quiet and effortless suspension performance

  • The ZEB Ultimate brings massive front-end confidence

  • Tough and sticky tyre combo

Lows
  • It's a bloody heavy bike

  • Struggles on tighter trails and long climbs

  • Soft e*13 rims

  • Shock rebound adjuster is impossible to access without removing the shock
