Norco has announced a voluntary recall on all of its model year 2025 Sight VLT CX electric mountain bikes.
This is due to concerns with the rearmost rear brake insert coming loose, which Norco says is a safety concern while riding.
As a result, Norco recommends to stop riding the electric mountain bike: “Out of an abundance of caution, we’re asking all riders of these bikes to stop riding immediately while we investigate and gather more data.”
All of the models in the range are affected, which are as follows:
- Norco Sight VLT CX C1 150
- Norco Sight VLT CX C2 150
- Norco Sight VLT CX C3 150
The Sight VLT CX was launched earlier this month. It is claimed to offer a 20 per cent weight reduction over the previous model, despite boasting more battery capacity and equal power.
The bike uses Bosch’s latest Gen5 Performance Line CX motor and retains its predecessor’s 160/150mm suspension travel, while rolling on a mullet setup.
If you have questions, Norco says: “Your Norco retailer is your best point of contact, and they’ll be kept informed throughout this process.”
“We know this is an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. This request comes from our commitment to performance, safety, and the trust you place in every ride,” Norco says in the stop ride notice.
Norco says you can also reach its team directly at warranty@norco.com or 1-800-663-8916 if you’re in the USA or Canada.
You can read the full stop ride notice here, which was issued last Friday.
