Norco Fluid VLT vs. Pivot Shuttle SL | Blister Head-to-Head Review
The Norco Fluid VLT C1 130 and Pivot Shuttle Team XTR are both lightweight eMTBs with similar specs on paper - in fact, they weigh exactly the same. But does that mean they ride the same?
In this Head-to-Head comparison, Blister editors, Simon Stewart and Dylan Wood, share their thoughts while riding these two bikes on the same trail (after already testing both extensively beforehand).
They get into how the bikes' motors and battery life compare throughout the ride, how they handle on the way down, where their respective components shine and fall short, and what sorts of riders each bike suits (and which one they'd personally pick).

Which Skis Would You Bring Back from the Dead?
Sometimes I feel like having Hoji as your brand ambassador is a double edge sword, lol.
Thanks for the vidéo but you didn't talk about the weight différence with the carbon one. What is the wheight of the one you tested and what sise is it, please ?
This was extremely informative video for the new ultra XTD! Good job and thank you!
Love this review, as well as the interview style of review. Quality stuff. Subbed
Just got some bacon 115 can’t wait to use them this winter. Will this be alright all over the mountain on crud and groomers or should I bring my other 100s with me as back up?
Range is not an issue for me. I have second battery which fits inside my Osprey Syncros 12L backpack. It weights only 1.8kg. I can get on both batteries up to 80km of range and 1800m of elevation in mixed mid and turbo mode. On flat terrain the range doubled. For me the power is more than enough. On tech climbs limitation is rather small ground clearance and lack of overrun. But this is trail not enduro bike so I can live with it.
I've had a fuelexe for over a year and loved having the bike. I also have a full power levo that I will ride if I am riding with people on full powered bikes. But for all other applications I hop on the Fuel.
It looks so good
Nice. I understand that the new 104s are more directional and slightly less forgiving than the 104 Frees. Which ski out there is now most similar to the old 104 Free?
Bring us a releasable tele binding!
Just got(today) a Pivot AM with the 625 watt Bosch motor. Took it out for a rip. It flies. I weigh 158 lbs and it felt great. Can't wait to master it. Have fun.
The inescapability of the Boa debate makes a lot of sense. Ski boots have barely changed at all, and making dramatic changes to boot design is incredibly expensive, and differences between boots is so personal that making general comparisons is really hard to do. Adding Boa allows for minimal R&D costs and quite salient, easily-marketable differences that anyone could understand because literally some of the same boots come with and without Boa. It's a perfect scenario for all ski gear media coverage and consumers to focus excessively on this one design change. Greg made the most convincing point in the whole Boa debate though. The cost of R&D and sourcing a new closure mechanism has not done much to improve boot fit, and it is not even the lowest hanging fruit, which would be the liners. So many stock liners are so bad and pack out so quickly. Zipfit has clearly exerted some pressure on the market, and I don't know what the full retail landscape is, but Kastle's entry into the boot market came with great liners. I don't fully buy that it will never happen when consumers would be able to buy a shell on its own. At the very least, online/distributed retailers like Evo should be able to make those orders for standalone shells, especially as more people start to get their hands on liners that last longer than their shells, which should be a growing population as long as people need to go to standalone liner brands like Zipfit when their crappy stock liners irreversibly pack out before their shells fall apart. Even if liners failed at the same time as shells from a designed obsolescence perspective, boot shells get damaged from crashes, and people would gladly take a discount on next year's boot if they can take their old liner to a new shell (even if the liner is actually toast).
ROSSI OLD LEGEND GREAT!

Cody, 1:02 ......Season passes got cheaper,...where at? Not in the US or Canada, this past ten years is going up! Ask people of Powder Mountain, UT......
Whats wrong with pin bindings
This bike is quite dated and overpriced.
Don’t hate cause you can’t afford it. 😂
It's not dated but yes like most ebbs, overpriced. That said many bike companies are going into receivership. Either way it's a sick bike.
Explain how it’s outdated?
You look funny all green like that.
Ive ridden both the AM & LT, as well as the switchblade and firebird, and as a Clyde I can say both are awesome but the LT felt better under my 270lb riding weight.
Update: I bought the mid tier am and I love it!! What a great bike.
RIP TO THIS SWEET LEGEND.
"Give it away until they can't live without it!" The last and best questiion and answer combined I took from this interview!!
i bought the base model tr 29 ride dirt, put Zeb 170 front and a 30t chainring,,perfect for my bike fun
Hi could u tell me if the motor rattles alot,cheers
I would say sometimes and very little. I did notice it at first but as I got faster it was barely noticeable.
Interesting when he says 10, 12 hrs a day working as a team........Wow, welcome to the real and everyday peoples lives. Most of us are walking 60 hrs a week.......
This past winter I demo the Moment Wildcat 108 and I really like it and I think I will stay with them for years to come, actually I purchased same skis in two differents length . Great job guys!
Nice bike, but I would prefer the Shuttle LT with the Bosch
A great bike indeed… loving it!🎉
Bye bye ...this is soo stu.........good luck trying to finish marketing school!
ask ethan if that shirt is available to purchase please
On the subject of sustainability: WNDR Alpine is one of the few ski/snowboard brands that is trying to improve something. Even if it's still “50% bad stuff”, it's still 50% better than the others. I think it's a shame to make statements like that. If everyone in the industry contributed even half as much, these numbers would mean a lot. Nobody is saying that skis have to be reinvented, but there is definitely room for improvement and WNDR proves it.
Great info in this video but Jonathan looks like hes in the witness protection program with a trucker hat and that lighting...i reall wish dalbello would just have a table/list of all their boots and their options somewhere. Its incredibly difficult to piece outy the details from the ad copy . I'm sure retaillers get a list of products in a better form so they can choose what to buy.
Aren’t your heads getting warm wearing those toques indoors? 😅
Ski designation
I keep my toe clip so loose there’s almost no tension in the buckle. It keeps my toes warm. With buckles you can adjust the pressure at each buckle according to your preference. With BOA you can’t. The ratio of the pressure at each section of your foot is determined by the tension of just one cable. Correct me if I’m wrong.
This is a real and humble guy! A great Canadian guy!
Mountain tour
great review, thank you!

I get his whole thing about elasticity but the warden is tied for lowest elasticity along with the attack lineup and the marker royale family. So whats the point hes getting at. All alpine bindings have elasticity and he only positively mention two amer bindings. Is he just talking about alpine vs tech bindings.
Just got Rossignol Rallybird 92 skis for partner, seem to be longer than expected, must be straight tape measurement. Salomon seem to measure material length. Confusing!
What are those bindings on the 106C?
I used the glade setup this season in monarch and I can confirm it does work really well. I did pop in the super high vlt for bluebird days and the really low vlt for some of the blizzard days but the photo chromatic does really well on everything in between, its usually what im running with.

Ski boot companies need to make the same shell/liner/fit continuously over time because when you find a boot and customize it to fit you who needs to keep searching because these boot companies make so called improvements, just leave it if it's functional. You would think after decades like Lange for ex. nothing much changed vs. Tecnica which completely changed volumes decades ago and then never brought back what really worked well and fit well. Also the women's shell needs to go back to regular height, not short cuff, all women dont have short fat legs, we are tall and slim and need tall cuff boots that hit the shin in the right spot and won't destroy our shins. we used to get men's boots and they were great, but most men's start at size 24 and we need 22 and 23 mondo in a boot, 1 step below the race plug which isn't really needed and can be torture to fit.
These skis seem universally loved. I can't get my head around the weight!
What’s with the random lamp?
Only one riser height!? A big miss…. Again!
Yea
