one thing I forgot to mention is it's very easy to remove the battery. just turn the spring loaded hex screw and battery pops out. I did notice water inside the compartment from when I washer her the other day. doesnt look like it will effect and internal electrics but I'm gonna be more careful...
my sx out in the wild.
had a blast the past 2 days riding the bike and getting it dialed. the bikes very good looking so if you get one be prepared to be stopped by people admiring it! I was doing some trail work and when I for back took mt bike there were 5 people gathered around her.

Got a ride in yesterday between rain storms. Bike is very stable, probably due to long wheel base. Suspension is very plush. I'm 190lb and the large comes with a 400lb spring that I will replace with a 500lb next week. Even with the light spring I did not bottom out or couldn't feel it at least...
Norco vlt 1
Ride quality 8/10. Added a angle headset to slack it out a bit. Love new geo-steep seat tube, long tt
Suspension 7/10 biggest weakness of this bike imho. Very linear and blows through travel. You have to pack your shock with spacers to keep from bottoming out.
Overall I rate it a...
just got mine in. of course it came with a dead battery and it started pouring rain.!
first thing I noticed is how much stiffer there rear feel from the og meta power. very solid. cant wait to give it a spin. gonna add renthal bars, magic mary 2.6 front tire and swap brakes to saints. other...
I've had several bikes that came with codes, there good all around brakes but when it gets steep I like the instant bite of saints or sees. I have several buds that swear by codes.
good question, love to here from an sx owner on how quick a spare battery can be swapped out.
I just ordered my sx yesterday and should have it next week. commencal called me to verify addresse and setup. said I got last one they had. super stoked. sold my 2018 meta power. after riding ebikes...
can some tell me the height difference between the 2019 neta power 27.5 vs sx version. geo chart list 2020 as -9 and 19 version as -17. not sure how to read that.
I will say I find the 2019 meta bb extremely low. I measured the lowest part of the shimano motor at barely 11". lots of hits!
I had the same problem when I pool it my dhx2 coil on my VLT, blew thru travel even with a heavier spring and compression cranked. I purchased a mrp progressive coil (550/650) for my 190lb weight and couldn't be happier with the results. supple off top but as the coil gets to about 80% travel...
I like the slacker ht angle the works set provides. if I rode more flow trail or xc type trails I wouldn't bother, but for fire road climbs to dh trails its great.
