Yes of course, we’d be happy to help. Either call us or contact us.

So, what's a tubeless setup? Traditionally, inner tubes are inflated with air to create a cushion between the rim and tyre. In contrast, a tubeless setup ditches the inner tube and relies on a specially designed rim with an airtight seal. A self-sealing liquid is added directly inside the tire, and air is pumped through a special valve to inflate the tyre. This allows riders to run lower pressures for better grip and comfort, and the sealant can plug small punctures on the fly, reducing flats.

However, it's important to note that bike manufacturers send their bikes to us in varying degrees of readiness to be set up tubeless. For example, some may supply suitable tubeless-ready tyres, but not the valves or sealant, while others arrive with everything you need. So here at MTB Monster we've checked and answered the following two questions;

Can the Norco Sight VLT CX C3 be set up tubeless? Yes, this bike can be set up tubeless.

What option do I need to select, if I want the bike setting up tubeless before I receive it? The manufacturer provides rim tape however we will need to provide valves and sealant to set your bike up tubeless. To add this to your order, select tubeless option 2 in the dropdown.

In the box, you'll find your owner's manuals with your Pre-Delivery Inspection Checklist, signed off by our Cytec qualified mechanic. This details all the checks that have been completed along with an 'Important Information' sheet explaining the advised pre-ride checks to be carried out to ensure the bike is safe to ride and that it will perform at its best. We advise keeping this document safe in case it is required in the future.

We also include a bike battery charger with a UK specific plug for the Norco Sight VLT CX C3, the relevant allen keys to assemble your bike (normally 2), brake separators to keep your brakes apart whilst the wheel is out of the bike along with any manufacturers manuals, and any extras the Norco has included. Some manuals are now only accessible online and paper copies are not included, if you require any assistance accessing manuals for your new purchase please get in touch.

It is worth being aware that bikes are rarely supplied with pedals included. This information will be detailed in the specification of the model you choose. If your bike is not supplied with pedals and you don't currently have any suitable ones, we have a great Sight VLT on offer here

Any promotional freebies such as an MTB Monster mudguard will also be included in your box.

If you feel you are missing any parts of your kit please contact us within 24 hours of delivery so that we can help.

Showroom Viewing

While we showcase Norco e-bikes and often have the bike model on display, we can't guarantee the exact bike you see online will be ready to view at any given time. This is because bikes might be recently sold, boxed in our warehouse, or still with the manufacturer. To ensure you see a specific bike you're interested in, please contact us before your visit & we'll do our best to have it available on the day of your visit or make alternative arSight VLTments.

The Norco Sight VLT CX C3 is a long-travel enduro eMTB designed for aggressive trail riding: steep, technical climbs, fast descents, rough terrain and big days in the hills. It’s built to feel stable and composed at speed while still being agile enough for tighter technical trails.

Like all Electric mountain bikes they can be used on gravel paths and forest tracks, but the Sight VLT CX C3 really comes alive on technical singletrack, steep descents, rough trails, and trail-centre routes where you want more stability and travel — right up to the roughest terrain you’re comfortable riding.

Absolutely! All ebike systems are designed from the ground up to live in the harshest conditions of mountain biking. You don't need to be concerned about riding the bike through a British winter, or in fact a British summer. In fact, these bikes are fully rainproof, ready to tackle endless puddles and wet, muddy trails without hesitation. The system utilises automotive grade electric ports and specifically designed covers to protect the system while providing the best weather protection so that you don't need to worry about riding in UK conditions. .

While the Norco Sight VLT CX C3 is designed with waterproof weather protection at the forefront, we would advise to avoid situations which would submerge the bike for any duration of time and against pressure washing the bike...just like we wouldn’t advise for a regular bike.

Cleaning an ebike is no different to cleaning a regular bike, a brush and hose pressure method is the best way. We advise against using a pressure washer as this often drives water behind seals, washing grease from bearings and also forcing water into electrical components. It's also best to avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the finish of the frame and components. MTB Monster offer a Sight VLT of recommended cleaning products that are designed for ebikes and non-ebikes.

Norco is a Canadian bicycle brand founded in 1964 in British Columbia, born out of real mountain terrain and a strong rider-first culture that still defines the company today. Originally known as Northern Cycle Industries, Norco grew from a small local operation into one of the most respected performance mountain bike brands in the world, with its engineering and product development remaining rooted in Canada.

If you scroll up the page to just below the image, you will see a green tab labeled 'technical' containing the specification of the bike with all of the componentry details on the Norco Sight VLT CX C3.

Yes, a water bottle can be mounted to the downtube.

Frame:

Norco provides a limited lifetime warranty , not just for new Norco bikes, but extended to bike models' year 2014 and newer. Norco warrants that Norco frames and rigid forks will be free from manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship for the usable life of the product with original proof of purchase.

Components fitted the bike

All components fitted to the bike are covered under warranty by the respective manufacturer which is typically two years however in some cases, this can vary and items such as suspension are subject to servicing being carried out.

Electrics

Bosch offers a 2 year warranty on the motor, battery and the ancillary parts required for the system to operate such as the display, speed sensor and wiring.

Whether or not a bike is supplied with pedals is at the discretion of the manufacturer. If you select the technical tab on any product page you will see 'pedals' as a one of the items and here it will tell you if they come as standard from the manufacturer. By reducing the number of components included with a new bike, manufacturers can minimise waste and packaging. With so many different types of pedal available it's unlikely that anything manufacturers include will suit everyone. If you require pedals and they are not listed as included in the specification of your chosen bike you can find the Sight VLT that we offer here and of course if you are unsure please get in touch for some friendly advice.

Yes, all of the Norcos we deal with carry a large number of spare parts to support their customers. If you have purchased a bike from MTB Monster, our rider support team will work with you and the team at Norco to get you the parts you need as soon as possible.

The electric bikes that we sell at MTB Monster are completely legal to ride in the UK, both on-road and off-road. The maximum speed that an ebike can be assisted to in the UK is 15.5mph (25kph). It is easily possible to ride an ebike faster than 15.5mph but the motor will not offer any assistance beyond this point. The Norco Sight VLT CX C3 is set at the maximum level of assistance permitted in the UK.

Pedal bikes with electric support up to 15.5mph (25 km/h) are regarded as equivalent to bicycles by law and therefore, do not require vehicle insurance, a registration plate or a driving license

Yes most upgrades on the Norco Sight VLT CX C3 are fine, if you fancy changing the brakes, adding some blingy new grips, or maybe a change of fork, you're welcome to make these changes. However, just make sure they are both suitable & compatible with the bike.

Please note with E-bikes:

Changes in gearing or wheel size will need to be reflected in the motor programming as this can affect speed ratings, and this is where it starts to get tricky as it will require the Norco's authorisation. Typically changing anything to do with the motor system of an electric bike is not recommended unless advised otherwise by the bike/motor manufacturer.

How you store the Norco Sight VLT CX C3 is pivotal for maintaining its condition and ensuring the e-bike is ready to go when you are. Ebike's should be stored clean and dry in a cool environment between 10 to 20°C, with the battery level between 30-60%.

If a battery is ever stored separate to your bike, again make sure it's stored in an area without significant temperature fluctuations. Somewhere that endures extreme temperature changes – such as an outdoor shed for example.

Batteries are highly complex components and are designed to offer a long service life. The service life of the battery is influenced by several factors such as the amount of charge cycles, intensity of usage, charging practice and storage temperatures. That being said, under typical use of going out riding a few times a week, you should expect to get a couple of years of riding without any problems, as that has been our experience for 99% of the ebikes we have sold to date.

Also it's worth bearing in mind, we still have plenty of customers riding bikes purchased over 5 years ago with the original battery, and very rarely do we have customers complain about battery issues. And for peace of mind, if anything was to happen, the batteries themselves are covered by warranty for the first 2 years of use.

Lithium-Ion batteries are, provided certain precautions are met, are safe.

The high-quality lithium-ion batteries fitted to our Sight VLT of e-bikes are equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS) which is continuously acting to detect potential sources of error and protects the cells from overload, undervoltage, overheating and short-circuiting.

According to the Bicycle Association there is a very low risk from un-modified legal Electric Assist Pedal Cycles (EAPCs – street-legal eBikes) if bought complete with their approved batteries and chargers, from reputable Norcos, sold by reputable retailers, and handled according to the manufacturer's' instructions.

All of our bike Norcos we sell, and the electrical componentry they use on their e-bikes, are fully regulated and adhere to the highest standards. It's also worth noting, that they are simply worlds apart in terms of safety, when compared to cheap unregulated imported e-bikes that you would find on any online auction sites.

It's recommended that only a qualified mechanic removes the battery from this bike, as the motor needs to be dropped out in order to access and remove the battery (via specialists tools). Often EMTB designers prefer this over a easily removable battery as it allows them to both reduce weight and improve the performance of the bike.

Sight VLT extender information.

If we have the Sight VLT extender in stock, we will add a purchase link on the technical tab of the product page (next to Sight VLT extender) to add to your shopping cart if required.

For fire safety, couriers have restrictions that prevent the shipping of electric bikes with more than 30% charge. This will be more than enough to take your new bike for a quick spin but the bike will require a full charge prior to your first proper ride

The battery is integrated in the downtube and is charged through the port on the frame.

The best practice is to firstly connect the charger to the charger port then plug into the wall socket. This way the charger will automatically switch on and start charging your battery when connected to the wall socket and switch off supply once the bike is fully charged therefore preventing overcharging the battery. As the battery is charged the display (if fitted) will also be charged up at the same time.
