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.

Pros
  • Uncompromising speed and control

  • High pivot suspension design

  • Excellent descender

  • Size-specific geometry

  • Confidence-inspiring on technical trails

Cons
  • Price

  • Climbing agility

  • Heavy

  • Not as agile in tighter, more technical terrain

  • Sluggish personality when climbing

Key Quotes
The Range asks a lot from you as a rider. It seems limitless in what it’s capable of.
Beta logoBeta
Point 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.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
The 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.

Review: Norco Range VLT - The Purple Plow

jun 2024 · Mike Kazimer

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

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

dic 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
