Range VLT CX C1 is a 170 / 160 mm travel e-enduro bike built for steep, technical trails. It pairs a low-weight full-power Bosch Performance Line CX motor with a large battery and Norco’s VPSHP high-pivot suspension to keep speed and control through rough sections.
Key highlights
- 170 mm front / 160 mm rear travel carbon chassis with Ride Aligned geometry for stability on steep terrain.
- RockShox Zeb Base fork and Vivid Air shock to handle repeated big hits and bike park style descents.
- VPSHP high-pivot suspension layout with a rearward axle path that helps the wheel move out of the way of square edged impacts.
- Mixed wheel setup with 29 inch front and 27.5 inch rear wheels for confidence up front and a more agile rear end.
Motor and system
- Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit delivering up to 100 Nm of torque with a full power feel.
- Integrated Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery for long days of descending focused riding.
- Efficient, lighter drive system compared to previous Bosch CX generations while maintaining output.
- Clean internal integration that keeps the motor and battery weight low in the frame.
Ride characteristics
- The high-pivot layout and chain idler are designed to keep the rear wheel tracking smoothly under braking and square edged bumps.
- The long travel and mixed wheel platform are aimed at riders who spend time on steep enduro tracks and bike park style terrain.
- Norco’s Ride Aligned geometry targets a centered position on the bike for climbing and descending.
- The frame is built to accept aggressive tires in the 2.35 to 2.6 inch range for traction driven setups.
Fit, setup, and recommended upgrades
- We want every rider, local or remote, to get the best performance from their new Range VLT CX C1.
- Local pickup customers: We can set suspension sag, rebound, and tire pressures so the bike is tuned correctly for your weight and local terrain.
- Shipped bikes: The bike arrives professionally assembled and test ridden. If you need help with suspension or cockpit setup at home, our staff can walk you through the basics or answer questions before your first ride.
- Recommended upgrades: Many riders choose to add pedals, body protection, or cockpit adjustments (grips, bar width, stem length) to match their riding style. If you would like suggestions, we can help you choose options that complement the Range VLT platform.
