Really? I’m in Vancouver too and have heard we’ll be lucky to see the new ebikes by the fall?

Talked to both Kinetic Cycles in Coquitlam and Norco North Shore. Kinetic is expecting them very soon, potentially this week. Norco North Shore was pretty certain they get them in the next 2 weeks. Give them a call / e-mail I’d say!

I wonder why the USA bike shops are saying beginning of next year. I called two.

That is odd! We just got the call its ready for pickup (Norco Range A1).

Lets see some pics! Awesome! I didn't ask the shop about Ranges... I asked about the sight. They said the Sight will be beginning of next year.

Not a good start; the paint is a bit off in places and... it won’t stay on. Pressing the button only turns it on occasionally and it won’t stay on. Back to the shop it is!

Norco has always had poor paint quality, nice to see things still haven’t changed….lol

For anyone else interested, I am planning on building a new size L Sight VLT in mullet configuration and came up with the following rough numbers on how it would change the geo.
Stock -------------MX
HA: 64° ------> ~63.2°
SA: 77.7-----> ~77°
Reach: 785> ~775mm
BB: 350 ----->~338mm

I am actually pretty good with these numbers. The BB height is a little low but not crazy. It should be noted that the BB drop will be less for smaller sizes but the changes in HA & SA will be slightly greater.

Anyone hear or get anything yet?

I am in the US and my shop said the reason for the delays is having trouble getting the batteries into the country. This also goes for canada. They said it should be figured out now so hoping mine shows up this month. However, not going to get my hopes too high.

Any info about the the new Bigfoot VLT? I don't see the 2022 Bigfoot VLT on the sight yet. I hear its getting 27.5 fat tires.

Still waiting on my bike only 2 months after it was supposed to be here. I hope Santa Claus does me right this year!

Gotta say the Sight VLT is probably the most planted bike I have ever ridden. Way different than my standard Enduro sled but in a good way. Still likes to get air though just have to approach it a little different.

I have been riding my new VLT Range for a few weeks now. Worried it was going to be to much bike, but man is it fun.
I am almost finished the few changes I had planned for it, then i will post some pics. Should I start a Range VLT thread or add to this one?

My Vlt Range A2. Fun bike. Changes are, one up bar ,one up dropper remote, saint brakes, 220mm sram centreline 6bolt rotors on shimanno center lock adaptors. Going to do some kind of onboard tool kit with the upper bottle cage mounts, and I'm done. For now:)

Cool! How are you liking it? I'm kind of thinking about getting the Range VLT A1 but I'm not sure. Is it really heavy? I'm in the Vancouver area, your pic looks like BC I think.
