NORCO PRESS RELEASE:



Geometry



The Norco Range VLT is a monster of an e-bike – there’s no denying it.



If taking-on tough, burly trails, navigating slippery rock faces, and generally going big is your thing, then this is the electric mountain bike you’ve been waiting for.



We’ve given the Range VLT the ultimate combination of Norco’s progressive handling and advanced long-travel suspension in a carbon e-MTB platform engineered to tackle the same trails as our non- electric Range – but the e-assist adds an extra helping of mayhem in the wild.



The fully-integrated, efficient Shimano STEPS drive system and custom 630Wh or 500Wh in-tube battery – plus optional 360Wh Range extender battery that adds up to 72% additional capacity – lets you cover more terrain...

Think its Evans.

Size differences are typically 25mm. I guess it could be possible to shorten the stem 10mm with a 30mm stem(need a 31.8 bar) and maybe(not sure) a further 8mm with an offset headset from Chris king or works components. 18mm total would be close to a size dif. The bike does have really good standover

Man, other than no option for 29er, this ticks all the boxes of what I wished for the next gen Kenevo (or at least improvements from my current one) in terms of Geo and battery options. I actually think the suspension components on the middle build would be preferable to the top end. Could swap my SC reserves from my kenevo... hmmm.. However, I do like the Brose setup from a motor and software integration standpoint

Wow so purdy. Non removable battery again but at least they offer a water bottle mount now or a bolt on battery.
