Bosch Performance CX 750Wh high-pivot enduro eMTB
The 2024 Norco Range VLT is the brand's full-power enduro e-MTB and the long-travel flagship of the VLT family. This third-generation bike switched to a Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor (85Nm) with a 750Wh PowerTube battery, paired with 180mm front and 170mm rear travel on Norco's VPSHP high-pivot idler suspension. It runs an MX wheel setup (29in front, 27.5in rear) across all five frame sizes.
Three builds were offered. The carbon-front C1 is the halo spec with a RockShox Zeb Ultimate fork, Vivid Select+ shock, SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type wireless shifting and Code RSC brakes on 220/200mm rotors, with a claimed 26.2kg in size 3. The C2 shares the carbon-front frame but steps down to a Zeb Select+, mechanical GX Eagle and DB8 brakes. The aluminium A1 (UK RRP £6,999) keeps the same motor, battery, geometry and 180mm fork travel but uses a Zeb Select, SRAM NX/SX Eagle drivetrain and a narrower-range 11-50T cassette, making it the value entry point.
Geometry is firmly gravity-focused: a 63 degree head angle, size-specific seat angles from 76.5 to 77.5 degrees, size-specific rear centres growing from 428mm to 444mm, and a 359mm bottom bracket height. Reach spans 417.5mm (S1) to 517.5mm (S5) with wheelbases from 1202mm to 1336mm, so it is set up to be stable and planted at speed rather than playful.
This 2024 model is discontinued. Norco has since replaced it with the Range VLT CX line, which carries the platform forward under a revised naming scheme. Buyers looking at the 2024 bike today are almost always finding remaining clearance stock rather than current inventory.
