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

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
