Ya I also prefer aluminum but this is cheaper. I asked them the geometry to confirm if it’s the same one. I’ll update here if I’m able to get one.

Ya I saw that which makes sense why they’re not showing up on eBay or similar. However, it looks like alibaba has them for sale though. Apparently the frame can take a 29” wheel...

found it on alibaba. 110mm travel and ya if it’s actually 135mm dropouts that’s not ideal...

Anyone have any knowledge on this frame? Looks like the e22 but in aluminum? I can’t find much on it tho I did contact the seller so will see if they say. Trying to find geometry...

Hey thank you! I had already been looking at this thread when I figured out it was the same frame. I appreciate all the thorough details you provided! i honestly prefer the more powerful motor. It’s double the torque of the ep8 tho I guess my only concern would be running out of battery. As...

Thanks for the reply. Ya I figured it to be a rebranded Chinese frame. Do you find yourself using the whole battery on your rides? Are you actually doing 25 miles per ride? And ya I read about how it chews through chains. We’re you able to get a tougher one that lasts? I think this frame is...

After pre-ordering a Norco Range VLT I decided to cancel it. It's just a lot of money to spend and I can't justify spending $7k on a bike. So that let me to thinking about just buying a Bafang kit and slapping it on a hard tail. I saw Luna cycles mentioned a lot selling these kits. Browsing...

I apologize if this is not allowed, but I had a Large Norco Range VLT A2 pre-ordered at a bike shop in Poway CA. It finally showed up after 9 months but unfortunately I got an injury and won't be riding for a while. I tried getting my money back but the shop would not budge. They said I could...

Hey guys, after months of waiting I am cancelling my preorder. I had bought ridewrap for my Large Norco Range VLT A2. If you are interested I will sell it to you for cheap. Ridewrap would not take it back and I have no need for it obviously. Let me know.. Thanks!

rough.. did they give an ETA? I honestly wish these bikes were spec’d with the Bosch motor.

that’s rough man. Still waiting on mine to show up. Did you sort the DHX2? Any update with the electrical issue?

hmm maybe a bit less reliable I guess but I would argue that shimano parts are more widely available and worst case I think it would be relatively easy to replace vs a proprietary motor especially once out of warranty. I struggled with propriety parts on my 2011 stumpjumper. That damn brain...

I’ve had a Norco Range VLT A2 on preorder since august. The arrival date keeps getting pushed back and my LBS has no idea when it will arrive. I’ve been pretty patient about it but was just checking out other bikes out of curiosity. Turns out there’s a Giant Trance X E+ Pro 29 1 local to me...

Still waiting on my bike only 2 months after it was supposed to be here. I hope Santa Claus does me right this year!

It annoys me that many bikes are speccing these on their more affordable emtb’s. RS Revelation/pike Should be bare minimum on a any bike over $5k. I bumped my trail bike from 140 to a 160 fork and have not had an issue. But you can also lower the travel on most forks to 140/150 if you need to...
