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

The suspension is so smooth, it should be illegal!
E-Mountainbike MagazineMonster-trucking down gnarly, wide-open descents, the Sight VLT is totally in its element.
Flow Mountain BikeThe more I have access to one of these bikes the more I'm convinced they are simply another fun way to enjoy riding bikes in the forest.

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...

In our Norco Sight VLT C1 review, we determined this bike is a very capable all-around eMTB but it definitely favors rough, fast and chunky trails. Read more!
Impressively capable on downhills
Buttery plush suspension
Stable and confident
All-day comfort
Long and heavy
Front end feels heavy
Not the best for lively, playful riders

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

A big e-bike with a big battery for big days.
Strong descender
900Wh battery provides massive range
Well-rounded rear suspension performance
Stiff chassis inspires confidence
Long wheelbase is very stable at speed and climbs well.
FOX 36 is easily overwhelmed
Heavy for a "trail" eMTB
Long wheelbase is a handful in tight scenarios
