In a year when many bike brands have slowed their pace, we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of bike design. Today, we're pleased to release the completely reimagined Carbon Fluid VLT E-MTB, now available at dealers and for order online at norco.com.

No end in sight! With the 2024 Norco Sight, the Canadian manufacturer promises to cover a wide range of applications. For the latest iteration of their trail all-rounder, Norco rely on a high pivot rear suspension design, which can already be found on several of their long-travel bikes.

Featuring the all-new VPSHP, high pivot suspension platform, our crew was excited to review the new Norco Sight C1. The high pivot design may seem to be a drastic departure from previous generations of the Sight, but if you’ve been paying attention to Norco’s longer travel mountain bikes then the 5th generation Norco Sight shouldn’t be all that surprising.

After much anticipation, the Bosch SX motor has arrived as the German brand's first system designed specifically for lightweight electric mountain bikes. As exciting as it is, the SX motor does arrive somewhat late to the party with the likes of Specialized, TQ and Fazua having dominated the lightweight e-MTB category over the past four years.

Norco has updated its flagship all-mountain bike for 2024 with some major changes to the suspension layout and kinematics. Does the new Sight raise the bar from its very popular predecessor? We've been testing the Sight C1 MX to find out!

Norco’s newly updated Range VLT is one of the most aggressive eMTBs to hit the market yet, with a big and burly frame and high-pivot suspension design. We were intrigued if this downhill focus would come with significant drawbacks to its general trail manners and climbing performance, so were excited to have it in the mix amongst the 14 eMTBs in this year’s Shootout.

Norco aren't strangers to the world of high pivots – the Aurum HSP downhill bike kicked things off over six years ago, followed by the Shore and then the Range.
