Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Norco Range VLT. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
9 reasons to buy
- The Range’s ability to handle big hits and air was praised.
- 180mm of front travel make this a downhill beast.
- Stability and traction were lauded on descents.
- The RockShox Super Deluxe Coil shock proved well-balanced.
- One tester found the bike comfortable on long exploratory rides.
- A steep seat-tube angle paid off on climbs.
- Maxxis Assegai tires were plenty grippy and never spun out.
- An optional range extender gives riders a total capacity of almost 1,000 Wh.
- The long BikeYoke dropper-post aided stability on descents.
7 reasons not to buy
- The rear brake rotor sometimes rubbed on the frame.
- An undersized chainstay protector allowed paintwork damage.
- The Range’s battery can’t be removed from the bike.
- One tester felt that the Range’s seating position felt unsuited to long rides.

Bottom line
A steep seat-tube angle, slack head angle and long top-tube matched the Range to fast downhill runs, as did the plentiful suspension and softer-compound rear tire. This bike was most at home shredding on descents, but testers also found it capable on climbs. Riders were usually exhausted before being able to deplete the 630Wh battery. This e-MTB is mostly suited to aggressive riding, where it generally impressed.Expert Reviews
