Sight VLT CX 2026
How current the bike is — newer chassis, motor and battery score higher. 10 = brand-new, 0 = legacy.
The Sight VLT CX is Norco's full-power all-mountain eMTB, pairing a high-pivot carbon frame with 160mm up front and 150mm at the rear on a mixed-wheel (29in front, 27.5in rear) setup. The VPSHP layout with its rearward axle path is aimed squarely at composure through rough, square-edged terrain, and Norco's Ride Aligned sizing gives each frame size its own chainstay length, from 432mm on the S2 to 444mm on the S5.
Power comes from the latest Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5. It ships at 85Nm and 600W, but a free Bosch Performance Upgrade through the eBike Flow App unlocks up to 120Nm, 750W and 600% support. The 800Wh Bosch PowerTube battery is shared across all three builds, and a 250Wh range extender is supported for longer days.
Three carbon builds make up the range. The C1 is the flagship with a RockShox Zeb Ultimate fork, SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission, SRAM Maven Silver brakes and Crank Brothers Synthesis carbon wheels at a claimed 22.79kg. The C2 keeps the Maven brakes and a wireless SRAM S1000 AXS drivetrain but moves to a Zeb Select+ fork and alloy wheels. The C3, at GBP 6,299, is the value pick, swapping to a mechanical Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain and TRP Slate EVO brakes while retaining the same frame, motor and battery as the dearer bikes.
Geometry is consistently aggressive across the size run, with a 64-degree head angle, steepening effective seat angles from 77.25 to 78 degrees, and reach growing from 447.5mm to 522.5mm. That points to a stable, descent-focused all-mountain bike that still climbs upright. In the UK only the C2 and C3 are listed; the flagship C1 is sold in North America.
