Norco tests their batteries in real-world conditions to determine potential range per charge. It’s an ongoing process that we insist on to improve our designs and determine what kind of variables effect range.

For example, they rode laps at one of their favorite proving grounds aboard a Sight VLT until the fully-charged battery was totally depleted.

NOT a laboratory setting - Real rider, real trail, real results.

Set on the Eco mode, he was able to cover 2100m of elevation over 38km before that battery was empty.

With the larger batteries, he would have covered proportionally more ground on those same trails in the same conditions:

*Let’s be clear: this was a demanding BC ride, under a fit, accomplished rider who can dish out upwards of 300W of power over a sustained period. As with all the battery-powered stuff we have in our lives these days, individual results will vary depending on number of variables.

Range Variables

What will affect the battery range?

• Battery capacity
• Assist mode selected
• Bike + Rider + Battery system mass
• Rider output
• Riding conditions
• Amount of climbing/elevation change
• Ambient temperature
• And SO many others…

Weight

540Wh = 3190g
720Wh = 3880g
900Wh = 4570g
