Norco Sight VLT C 2024
EMTB Forums verdict

The 2024 Sight VLT C marked Norco's switch of its electric all-mountain platform to a Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor (85Nm) and a 750Wh PowerTube battery, paired with an all-new VPSHP high-pivot Horst-link suspension layout running 160mm up front and 150mm at the rear on a mixed 29in front, 27.5in rear wheel package. The carbon front triangle and seatstay sit over an aluminium chainstay, with UDH and SRAM Eagle Transmission compatibility built in.

For 2024 the carbon Sight VLT was offered as a single flagship C1 build, and the spec is uncompromising: RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 fork, Super Deluxe Ultimate shock, a full SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type wireless drivetrain, SRAM Code RSC four-piston brakes on 220/200mm rotors, WTB CZR carbon wheels and OneUp carbon bar. Claimed weight is 25.2kg. It was priced at 9,999 USD; Norco did not list this C1 build for the UK market, where the range instead arrived later as the Sight VLT CX and Sight VLT TQ models.

Geometry is long and slack across the five-size run, with a 64-degree head angle, reach from 422.5mm to 522.5mm, size-specific seat angles steepening from 77 to 78 degrees and size-specific rear-centre lengths from 428mm to 440mm, giving a balanced, descent-focused stance that the high-pivot kinematics are designed to complement on technical terrain.

This 2024 model is discontinued. Norco replaced it for 2025 with the Sight VLT CX generation, which retained the Bosch CX motor and high-pivot platform alongside a broader, UK-available trim line-up.

“Picked up the Sight today, wow what a bike. Straight off the bat I installed CushCore, riding in Christchurch NZ is quite rocky, bike has E13 rims which are made out of cheese, so wise investment. Rode 36km, mix of eco / trail / boost,…”

1,379 posts · 292 owners · data through May 2026
14CX: sizing runs big-for-the-number, and the shared Range frame invites long-shock builds · typical onset: At purchase (sizing) and during the first owning months (build changes).
12LEGACY (Shimano-era VLT): carbon chainstay / rocker-link / frame damage · typical onset: Chainstay: after chain jams; rocker link: with age/wear
11LEGACY (Shimano-era VLT, 2019-2024): water / charge-port and wire-harness electrical shutdowns (the used-buyer headline) · typical onset: From new in some cases; far more common in wet seasons / after pressure-washing
First ride on the 2025 CX: a 20-mile / 3,000ft loop with 43% battery left, 'insanely quiet descending', the high pivot 'noticeably plush on sharp edge bumps'.
