Range VLT CX C2 is Norco’s long-travel Bosch equipped enduro e-bike. It uses 170 mm front and 160 mm rear travel with a mixed 29 inch front and 27.5 inch rear wheel layout for steep, technical terrain. The latest Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit and 800 Wh PowerTube battery provide full power support in a relatively light package, while the VPSHP (Virtual Pivot Suspension | High Pivot) layout gives the rear wheel a rearward axle path that helps maintain momentum through square-edged hits and rough sections.
Key highlights
- 170 mm front / 160 mm rear travel carbon frame with Ride Aligned geometry tuned for aggressive enduro riding.
- VPSHP high pivot suspension with a rearward axle path that helps the rear wheel move out of the way of square-edged impacts.
- Mixed wheel setup with a 29 inch front wheel and 27.5 inch rear wheel for rollover up front and quicker handling at the back.
- RockShox Zeb Base fork and RockShox Vivid Air shock for consistent support on long, rough descents.
Bosch system
- Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit with 100 Nm of torque and up to 750 W peak power.
- Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery mounted in the downtube for long days in the bike park or on big alpine loops.
- Bosch BDU38 interface integrates the motor and battery into the frame for a clean installation.
- System is compatible with Bosch displays and controllers so you can choose the control setup that suits you.
Ride characteristics
- 63.5 degree head tube angle and long front center for stability on steep, technical trails.
- Steep effective seat tube angles keep the rider in a strong position for seated climbing.
- Four frame sizes (2 to 5) cover a wide range of rider heights with reach numbers from 441 to 516 mm.
- Continental Kryptotal F and R enduro tires on WTB ST i30 rims give predictable grip on mixed conditions trails.
Fit, setup, and recommended upgrades
- We want every rider, local or remote, to get the best performance from their new Range VLT.
- 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 Range VLT CX C2 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 match your riding style and the Range VLT platform.
