2027 Norco Range VLT CX C2 Big travel, full power and no need for a shuttle The 2027 Norco Range VLT CX C2 is a full-power electric enduro bike built for riders who prioritise steep descents, rough terrain and maximum trail time. Combining a carbon frame, 170mm RockShox ZEB fork and 160mm of high-pivot rear suspension, the Range VLT is designed to carry speed through technical terrain while remaining composed under hard braking and heavy impacts. The Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System provides powerful, natural-feeling assistance, paired with a fully integrated 800Wh battery for long climbs and full days on the bike. A mixed-wheel setup, Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain, four-piston brakes and enduro-rated tyres complete a durable build suited to demanding Tasmanian trails.

Its 170mm front and 160mm rear suspension travel provide the control needed for steep chutes, high-speed rock gardens, large compressions and rough enduro trails. The bike’s balanced geometry and low, centralised motor placement help it remain predictable at speed without making it unnecessarily difficult to manoeuvre through tighter sections. Bosch Performance Line CX Power The latest Bosch Performance Line CX system delivers powerful assistance with a smooth and natural pedalling response. Through the Bosch eBike Flow app, compatible systems can be upgraded to provide up to: 120Nm of torque 750 watts of peak power Up to 600% pedal assistance This makes the Range VLT equally capable of tackling steep technical climbs and completing repeated enduro laps without relying on vehicle shuttles. Available motor output may depend on Bosch software, regional settings and system configuration. Bosch 800Wh Battery The fully integrated Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery provides the capacity required for longer rides, sustained climbing and big days in the hills. The Range VLT CX is also compatible with the optional Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender, increasing total available capacity to 1,050Wh when required. Actual riding range will vary with terrain, rider weight, assistance mode, elevation, temperature, tyre pressure and riding style. VPSHP High-Pivot Suspension Norco’s VPSHP suspension platform uses a high-pivot layout and rearward axle path to help the rear wheel move more effectively over square-edged impacts. This design helps the bike maintain momentum through rough sections while reducing unwanted pedal feedback. An idler pulley manages chain growth as the suspension moves through its travel. The result is improved traction, stability and control when descending fast or riding through repeated impacts. RockShox Enduro Suspension The RockShox ZEB Base fork provides 170mm of travel and a stiff chassis designed for aggressive electric mountain-bike and enduro use. At the rear, a RockShox Vivid Air Base shock controls 160mm of travel. The high-volume air shock is designed to provide support, traction and heat management during longer, rougher descents. Mixed-Wheel Handling A 29-inch front wheel provides rollover capability and front-end stability, while the 27.5-inch rear wheel improves agility and rear-wheel clearance. This mixed-wheel configuration helps the Range VLT remain composed at speed while making it easier to move through tight corners, steep terrain and technical trail features. Shimano Deore 12-Speed Drivetrain The Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain provides dependable mechanical shifting and a wide 10–51-tooth cassette range. The simple single-chainring setup offers low gearing for technical climbs while retaining sufficient range for faster trail sections and transitions. Powerful Four-Piston Brakes Four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide the stopping power required for a long-travel electric enduro bike. Large brake rotors help manage heat and maintain consistent braking performance on sustained descents. Enduro-Ready Tyres Continental Kryptotal tyres use an enduro casing and soft rubber compound for improved grip, support and durability on rough terrain. The aggressive tread pattern is suited to loose surfaces, rock, roots and steep technical trails.
