PRESS RELEASE: Norco
E-MTB’s are evolving. Fast. And distinct categories of e-assist mountain bikes are starting to emerge to meet the specific needs of different riders.
Looking beyond the full-power models that first appeared on the trails, pedal holdouts and some well-established e-MTB riders are looking for a bike that delivers the ride feel and handling they’ve come to expect from their favourite pedal whip, but with the addition of a lightweight, natural feeling electric assist that prioritizes their sacred Trail connection.
Following a preview campaign shrouded in secrecy (and governed by VERY strict international NDA’s), Norco is excited to introduce the next evolution of e-MTB Speed & Power with the new Fluid VLT – an e-MTB engineered around a full Bosch ecosystem and the brand-new Performance Line SX drive unit.
With nimble handling and precision, personalized suspension setup that only Norco’s Ride Aligned Design System can produce, the new Fluid VLT maneuvers confidently, but swiftly over high speed and technical terrain, while its fully integrated, dedicated Bosch SX system provides the natural-feeling 55Nm of added torque, with up to 600w of customizable power.
Including the 400Wh PowerTube battery, the entire wireless Bosch Performance Line SX system weighs in around 4kg, allowing stock Fluid VLTs to weigh as little as 38 pounds – making them even more Trail-capable under even the most stalwart pedal purists.
All four Fluid VLT Models are scheduled to arrive Spring 2024, and you can learn more at www.norco.com as more details emerge.
