NORCO SIGHT VLT 29 A2
It’s been slightly more than 12 months since Norco shocked (excuse the pun) the MTB world with the release of its ultra-impressive Sight VLT 27.5 e-MTB. The Canadian brand had taken its time before entering the powered bike market segment, and that wait (as we mentioned in the review of the VLT 1) was worth it for riders. In short, the VLT killed it; that bike’s adherence to the riding characteristics of its mechanical brethren was one of the many highlights (that also included its flickability, powerful 630Wh battery, and robust drivetrain and frame) of the bike. Even then, there were whispers of not ‘if’ but ‘when’ a 29er version of the VLT would land but, again, Norco was in no rush – the Canucks have had a lot going on since late 2018, not the least of which was the development, then launch, of its Ride Aligned design system. This rider-focused bike setup system allows riders to tweak suspension settings, tyre pressures, sizing and geometry through an app, for a near full-custom bike setup aimed at ensuring optimum bike/rider performance on the trails. It works – as this VLT 29 proves.
