Summary
The Norco Range is a high-performance enduro bike designed for speed and control on descents, featuring a high pivot suspension design that excels in rough terrain. While it offers excellent downhill capabilities and stability, it can feel sluggish on climbs and tight trails. The bike's geometry and suspension are tailored for aggressive riding, making it a favorite among riders who prioritize descending performance.

Confidence-inspiring on technical trails

Climbing agility
Heavy
Not as agile in tighter, more technical terrain
Sluggish personality when climbing
The Range asks a lot from you as a rider. It seems limitless in what it’s capable of.
BetaPoint the Range towards rowdy terrain and it makes even more sense. The chunkier, choppier and faster the trails are, the more it comes alive, and the more control and reassurance it gives you.
BikeRadarThe Norco Range is an absolute monster of a bike and one that lives for barrelling straight down the roughest, gnarliest and fastest trails you can point your stem at.

The Range VLT is a big, burly eMTB that sits in the 'shuttle truck replacement' category.
Great downhill performance
Big battery allows for big rides
Quicker handling than the geometry would suggest
Split between sizes may make sizing tricky for some riders
Heavy, even for a full power eMTB

With a dialed build and insane capability for rough and rowdy descents, the Range VLT is a killer machine for the right rider and terrain.
Sep 2023 · Alex Evans
A hard-charging, speedy, controlled monster on the downs, that can be pedalled to the trailhead time and time again
Excellent suspension
Impeccable descending geometry
Very comfortable climber
Impressive spec list
Carbon finish is sleek
Price
Suspension bob might frustrate some

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 […]

It was interesting choosing lines that would normally have me bucking around like I was in a rodeo.

A purpose-built downhill speed demon that knows what it does well and makes zero apologies for it.

We tested the new Range C3 2022 for you! Is Norco’s high pivot enduro bruiser a mini downhill rig in disguise?
Inspires lots of security on steep terrain
Excellent composure and plush rear suspension
Plenty of freedom of movement
Spec doesn't do justice to the potential of the bike
Sluggish on narrow and slow trails
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.
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
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
