2026 Norco Sight VLT TQ C2

The 2026 Norco Sight VLT TQ is a lightweight electric all-mountain bike made for long days, steep climbs, and confident descents. Its carbon frame is strong, quiet, and clean in design. The frame delivers 150 mm of rear travel and uses Norco’s Ride Aligned layout to keep handling balanced across every size. A high-pivot suspension system with a rearward axle path helps the bike stay smooth in rough terrain. This gives riders more control when trails become fast, loose, or technical.

Suspension performance is built for serious trail riding. A Fox 36 Performance Elite fork with full adjustability provides 160 mm of support up front. The Fox Float X Performance shock keeps the rear end planted and efficient. Together they create a ride that feels plush on descents and stable on climbs. The mixed wheel setup adds confidence at the front and agility at the rear. A long travel dropper post keeps the saddle out of the way when the trail points down.

Power comes from the compact TQ HPR60 drive system. As Norco explains, “At just 1.92 kg, the TQ HPR60 system is the lightest, quietest, and smallest in its class.” It delivers 60 Nm of torque, 350 watts of peak power, and up to 200 percent support. This creates smooth assistance that feels natural instead of overpowering. The low weight and discreet design help the bike feel like a traditional trail bike. Power responds instantly and without delay, which keeps the ride feeling balanced and controlled.

Range is strong for a system this light. Norco notes that “At 580Wh, the battery has a higher capacity than other drive systems of its size.” The battery is neatly integrated into the frame and keeps the bike’s handling unchanged. Riders can also add a range extender for longer adventures. This makes the Sight VLT TQ ready for big trail days without adding bulk.

Component choices focus on reliability and real trail performance. Shimano Deore XT Di2 electronic shifting keeps gear changes fast and precise. Shimano four-piston brakes with large rotors provide strong and predictable stopping power. Crank Brothers Synthesis alloy wheels and Continental enduro tires add grip, strength, and durability. Every part is chosen to handle aggressive riding while staying efficient on climbs.

The overall ride feel is designed to stay natural. Norco describes how “the discreet drive system, combined with the low weight, give the natural feel of a bike without a motor.” This balance is what makes the Sight VLT TQ special. It blends quiet assistance with true trail handling. Riders stay connected to the terrain instead of feeling pushed by the motor.

Durability and long-term support are also key parts of the design. The frame, hardware, and components are chosen to keep the bike on the trail season after season. Norco backs this with their lifetime guarantee, giving riders extra peace of mind.

The 2026 Norco Sight VLT TQ brings together lightweight efficiency, modern suspension, and smooth electric power. It climbs with ease, descends with confidence, and feels fun on every ride. This is an all-mountain e-bike built for riders who want adventure without compromise.
