Hey, norco sight volt size
The Sight VLT uses Norco's numeric sizing system (S2 through S5), which maps loosely onto conventional sizing. Here's the full geometry spread to help you land on the right number:

SizeReachStackHead AngleSeat AngleChainstayWheelbase
S2447mm627mm64.0°77.2°432mm1238mm
S3472mm636mm64.0°77.5°436mm1252mm
S4497mm645mm64.0°77.8°440mm1278mm
S5522mm654mm64.0°78.0°444mm1304mm
The jumps between sizes are substantial at 25mm reach increments, so borderline cases are worth thinking through carefully. Community experience broadly maps out like this: S2 suits riders around 170-175cm, S3 works well for 175-183cm, S4 for roughly 183-191cm, and S5 above that. @cobra22 finds the S4 feels genuinely stable for bigger riders, while @psychonaut at 175cm fitted a 50mm stem on the S2 and found it perfect, with the S3 reach feeling like a stretch too far.

One thing worth knowing: a rider at 6'4" did size down from S5 to S4 because 500mm+ reach caused front wheel wash in flat corners on the high pivot geometry. The combination of long wheelbase, eMTB weight, and high pivot can make the bike feel quite plow-y if you go too big.

If you tell me your height I can narrow it down further.
