When you’revoted top e-MTBof the Year*,it’s tempting to sitback and baskin the accolades – but thefirst generation SightVLT’s praise wasn’t enough to distract us from our constant need to improve.

For 2020, we lookedat what made the originalthe e-MTB of the Year with editors and riders, and combined it with everything we’ve discovered since. By combining our proprietary Ride Aligned™ design system with state-of-the-art e-MTB technology, range extender battery compatibility and e-optimized 29-inchwheels, the SightVLT 29 is the ultimate All-Mountain electric mountain bike.

Its refineddesign and geometryhold the perfectline through high-speed corners, send gapswith ease and provide all the pedal assistance you need to open the door to bigger adventures, bolder routes, and increased accessibility to rides thatused to seem out ofreach.

This also represents a first at Norco: our first electricfull suspension mountainbike that’s available in both carbonand aluminum models.

The carbonframe is strongand stiff in all the right places,and built as light as possible. The aluminum employsthe same engineering principals to duplicate the performance and handling characteristics built into the carbon bike with minimalweight penalty – bringing the electric All-Mountain 29er experience to more riders.

The Sight VLT 29 also features Norco’s exclusive Ride Aligned™ design system, providing the same All-Mountain performance and handling as our brand-new Sight non-electric platform, with authoritative climbing, eager descending, and high-speed confidence that can only come from the complete integration of rider fit, frame geometry,suspension kinematics and precise, app-assisted bike setup.

By buildingthe entire systemaround a ShimanoSTEPS e-MTB drive unit with our proprietary in-tube battery technology and efficient power management system, e-MTB performance is brought to the nextlevel. With theoptional range extender battery (sold separately), you can add50 to 70% more batterycapacity to makeyour All-Mountain rideseven more epic.

The 2020 Sight VLT 29 uses Norco’sRide Aligned™ design system which matches each individual bike to the human who rides it, creating a customized platform that is both stable and balanced, allowing the rider to push harder. Using individual rider metrics, precise suspension kinematics, and proprietary app technology, you’ll align with your ride experience like never before.

Stop trying to squeeze into the same old frame of reference. Find your own angle.

Riders have been raving about 29-inch wheels for years, and we found the best combination of strength and performance for the wheels on each Sight VLT 29 to withstand everything electric mountain biking can dish out. They roll over obstacles easier, and maintain momentum through rough terrain.We also wrapped them in Maxxis re-enforced Double Down tires to give you all the support and durability you need on every ride.

Designed to withstand the extreme demands of e-mountain biking, the best-in- class Shimano STEPSE8000 and E7000drive units will extend your ride and give you the push you need to get through the tough stuff.The E7000 switch- unit and display on all models give you all the information you need, and take up less space on your bars.

Ride Longer:

The Sight VLT’s in-tube battery provides more range than most other e-MTB’s thanks to Norco’s unique power management system and the highly-efficient Shimano motor. And, when you add the additional capacity of the optional 360Wh range extender battery(sold separately), you’ll ride further than you ever thought an e-MTB could. Without the range extender, every size Sight VLT 29 can carry a full-sized water bottle

E-MTB Specific Components

: Each Sight VLT 29 comes equipped with components selected specifically for the demands of e-MTB. Thee-spec suspension forks, e-rated free hub mechanisms, robust DT Swiss Competition rear spokes and Single-click shifters on SRAMe quipped models help maximize strength and durability under power.

Increased Clearance

Two-piece bridgeless seatstays increase tire clearance and facilitate a steeper seat tube design, permitting longertravel, size-specific dropper posts. The 34.9mm post, combined with the lower top tube make it easier for riders to move around and to getseats right out of the way on steep descents without sacrificing stiffness or strength when fully extended.
