Summary
The Norco Sight is a versatile enduro bike praised for its plush suspension and composure at high speeds, making it a strong performer on descents and technical climbs. However, its long wheelbase and weight can limit agility in tight scenarios. The bike's modular battery options and high-quality components are frequently highlighted, though some reviews note issues with motor integration and rear tire traction.
Plush suspension for excellent composure at speed
Strong performer on technical climbs
Modular battery options for extended range
High-quality components like FOX Factory suspension
Comfortable and balanced riding position
Long wheelbase limits agility in tight scenarios
Heavy weight affects playfulness
Rear tire traction can be lacking on technical climbs
Motor integration and reliability concerns

E-Mountainbike MagazineMonster-trucking down gnarly, wide-open descents, the Sight VLT is totally in its element.

How many full-power emtbs have been launched this year? Yeah, Merida did one. Norco is here to fix this by introducing two bikes, the new Sight VLT and Range VLT. These have powerful motors and big 750 Wh batteries. The Sight and Range VLT aren’t...

Norco have developed a flexible battery concept that allows you to run either a 540 Wh, 720 Wh or 900 Wh battery for the Norco Sight VLT C1. However, the concept isn't that straight-forward! We pitted the Sight VLT with its Shimano EP8 motor and 900 Wh battery against 12 of the hottest eMTBs of the season and can tell you all the pros and cons of the versatile concept.
Long-distance comfort
Spec suitable for trail riding
Intuitive handling excellent for beginners
Plenty of composure for speed freaks
Poor motor integration and reliability
Lowest payload in the entire test field
Stiff dropper post remote

The new Norco Sight VLT features improved suspension performance, the excellent Shimano EP8 motor, and the option to fit a huge 900Wh battery. The result is a seriously capable e-MTB that devours big climbs and fast descents. But is bigger always better? Read on for our Norco Sight VLT review.
So much composure and control at speed
Brilliant on steep and technical climbs
Kosciusko-beating range from the 900Wh battery
Supple suspension devours rough terrain
Brilliant tyre spec
Clever adjustable dropper post
Enormous chainstays limit agility
The hefty weight
Plastic motor shroud is flimsy and seems unfinished
Poor shifter ergonomics
EP8 clacking noise
