Norco Range VLT Review: Carbon Monster Truck | 2021 Summer Field Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- The Norco Range VLT is by far our heaviest eMTB on test but with a 900Wh battery and 170mm of travel out back, the Range should be able to handle anything. So, how did the carbon monster truck hold up at Sun Peaks? Watch and find out.

I got mine, in XL, and put the Smashpot Coil conversion kit in the 38! Coil front and back BABY!!!!
70lb bike and you can go 70mph downhill sheesh
But you ain't got that calves
Can it take an air shock
3:30 well wth happened to that cockpit setup?
Love that new opening!! Man what a tank of a bike! Awesome it can maintain high nimbility!!!
Beersy can really let it hang out eh? you can see the bike drifting and clawing for traction. pretty cool.
Great review guys mine is on Order as I’m 209cm 6ft9 tall I was happy when u said it’s not for all shorter riders I’m currently on a Merida 2020 XL the New Norco is bigger in every way in XL so fingers crossed
looking at buying one of these very soon, and legitimately looking at the alloy frame as a preference.
a LOT easier finding someone to tig repair a cracked alloy frame, over a carbon one.
Compared to the last Range VLT how does it feel ? LOOOVE my 2020 last gen , but the bigger and removable battery is a big plus for me on the new gen . I am 5'8 ish and currently ride a large VLT , wondering if I need a medium in the new gen ? Great reviews and love the channel
It's interesting that Norco has made all of their bikes heavier overall for both e and regular. I wonder if that is in response to some frame issues they had a few years ago and the added weight is to reduce frame snapping risks on these bigger burlier bikes. Maybe warranty shy for breaking frames? Just a guess really.
Yeah I would do a buy on the norco
Am not smurfish so should be grand for 6ft people like me 😁
Weight on par with my iron horse I don't see a problem there 😁🤣
Love mine! Got the C2 model
Please just upload the video of the s works, that’s what we really want to see. That’s the actual ultimate dentist machine
Tomorrow. 🙂
It's like $15k right 🤣🤣 The bike that root canals built.
Couldn't be any less interested in that test. Specialized are tripping balls and don't deserve the attention.
@@_Vicarious Yup
It’s getting very close to just a motorcycle is this motocross?
Not quite but I'd like to see that ;)
Yo @pinkbike, why are there Sram Centerline Discs on the Bike in the huck to flat segment? I thought it’s running a shimano brake setup?
I’m going to get a lower hydraulic leg assist for hiking! cool!
so in which mode is that range of 2300 meters? is it maximum support meaning you can get even more if you turn it down somewhat? thanks...
3:34 if you look at the screen its in boost (top assist) so yes in the lower modes it would last longer
The Norco VLT prices 2022 are US $100 higher than what was quoted in this vid.
🔥 CX burn 🔥
Hi guys! Planing on buy one range vlt 22. Sizing question: 183cm with short legs (85cm inseam, 75cm saddle height) and long torso. Size L or XL? The norco size guide says im between sizes. What is your advice?
Is go for the large, the bike is already huge, and on top of that norco makes huge bikes.
Hey guys & viewers, I am seriously considering this bike in SMALL but you confirmed my concern about the chainstay. Issue is finding a bike with a short enough standover height to accommodate 27” pant inseam. I bought some men’s Five Ten Sam Hill flat peddle shoes to give me some more height to increase my bike options. Any bike suggestions? This will be my 1st ebike but I want to keep up with my husband on his Kenevo Expert. Ideal reach is 405-415 and standover ideally would be under 700 but yeah good luck not much out there. Wish someone would make a low step full suspension quality bike for us shorties. ;-)
Hi there! End up buying this bike? I also after short stand over height. And this bike looks like the one for me. Cheers Norman
I'm 5'4" and ride a 434 chainstay. bike.. And that already feel pretty damn long!
Probably feels that way for other reasons, like a long/low stem/reach.
Love ya!
I will never buy an E-bike with a Shimano motor again unless the change the charging port. The charging port cover latch brakes after 4-5 charger and is very difficult to close the cover. I had to fiddle with it today for over 10 minutes, just to close the cover. The charging connector is very difficult to insets and even more so to unplug. I had banged my knuckles more than once, trying to disconnect the cable. You need to apply an excessive force in order to disconnect the cable. But the most annoying thing is that there is no charging status while charging. The display is dead during charging, there is no battery percentage or any other indication that the bike is charging and it take forever to fully charge the battery.
Hi mate. I have this bike obviously with the shimano ep8. I have noticed there is a charge indicator on the actual battery near the plug. Its a circle made of around 5 little LED's. You do have to bend down and look in the little hatch though.
Nice 😊👍😀
Ohh Noooo, Stairs, my worst enemy ! ! !
Always go for carbon frame. You can’t upgrade to carbon to a carbon frame later.
멋지네요
Norco has one of the worst warranties!! I broke my frame on my 2020 Range and after a month still no answer from them!
900 wh? How much it weights 100 pounds? 😂
Ebikes around where I live will pass you going up a long climb and hold you up on the descent. I seriously doubt 98% of them will ever get half the capability out of it that it really has.
Henry!!! Stop mumbling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People, it's time to start normalizing dual crown forks on E-bikes. A 180 mm fork on a 56 pound bike with one crown is just silly
Problem is that a e bike is more for all around trail riding including tight up hill switch backs. With a double crown, you can't lean the bike down on the tight up hills so you have to rely on just turning the bars and you have very limited range.
100%. I run a duel crown on my standard enduro. 15mm axel on a 180mm 29er fork is just non sense. Mix that with all the flex and fixed bushings and damn your fork feels piss poor.
One of the Levo models has one. 180mm travel I think
@@Daividu incorrect
Incorrect mr popo. My 150levo does not need a dual crown
I still don't like the idea of an E-Enduro bike. If you can push so hard on the downhills that you need 180mm of travel then you should be able to climb by your own power!
How about you try one
Long double black Enduro days make you want an e bike. Cough Laguna beach cough
lol ok
Stop simping on e-bikes... if you buy one, then you should automatically be scheduled for community service and trail restoration. SMH
Since when that norco became a dirt bike?
@@omnomnom1391 Since when do you need 500W motors that roost trails? If this upward trend continues adding higher output motors, then they might as well be dirt bikes.
@@lilBennie1029 you really need to try an emtb, similar to the ones pinkbike tested, it might change your mind.
The emtbs are nowhere powerfull enough to rost trails. you should know that the motor only amplifies the pedaling motion when pedaling, and turns off the moment you stop pedaling, and only works up to 25 kmph.
What you're really mad about is aggressive mtb riders, an emtb is just as destructive as a heavy rider on a downhill bike.
@@omnomnom1391 ok bud.. whatever you need to say to justify yourself.. I hope you contribute to trail maintenance with that attitude.
I dont own a emtb but I can promise you its not the ebikes causing trail maintenance issues. Its bikers riding trails in bad conditions- if ur leaving ruts, its too wet too ride. Most ebikers are princesses that dont ride anything but perfect conditions.
Remove the segnent like this! Not entertaining to see a three headed monster talking! Get out
E Bike?
That was it. With immediate effect, I am canceling every channel on which I am presented with an e bike. Nobody needs this ridiculous junk.
Lol Stop thinking like a simpleton. There is a market for E Bikes even though you don't want them.
Bye
bye
don't let the electrons hit you on the ass on the way out!
Bye
