Us bike nerds notice when there's a new color bolt on a stem. Someone definitely would have noticed Nino and Filippo winning Cape Epic on 32" wheels. They are easy to spot.

this is my bike, XL Range VLT, DH/DD tyres, 720wh battery. Park tool scale errors out at 28kg lol, so had to use some bathroom scales. 31kg 
She thicc, but it's pretty much a downhill bike spec and ride quality. Nothing breaks.

Rejoice at a company actually putting the big battery on the bike instead of 600wh + range extender = heavier than an 800wh internal. Of all the new bikes with the new Bosch stuff (Reuglator, Vala, who else am I missing?) The Trek Rail was the only one to have the 800wh. (enough juice to actually do a "self shuttle day")

3/22/2025 8:51am I’m not saying I browse the website every day to check on these things, but I don’t remember seeing full specs and models listed. 🤷🏻♂️

3/22/2025 8:08am That’s funny. I have the “big grimace bike,“ and yeah it’s heavy. I can tell you that it’s mostly in the frame. Word on the street is the new Powertube battery is significantly lighter. Friend of mine has last years Sight size XL, and it’s 58 pounds with carbon wheels and carbon cranks.

3/22/2025 7:31am Looks like Norco quietly dropped the new generation Sight VLT. Probably to keep up with Transition dropping the Regulator CX recently. 800 WH battery under 50 pounds? Very cool. https://www.norco.com/bikes/e-mountain/e-all-mountain/sight-vlt-cx/25-s…

Word from a lot of media is that the next 30~ days are going to be busy on this thread. Happy spring/sea otter season to all those who celebrate the relentless innovation we all don't really need!

3/15/2025 10:05pm I don’t get paid by Norco or anything, but I feel like they have the dropper post sizing pretty dialed. Here’s a screen cap from the specs of a 2025 Sight;

2/26/2025 1:24pm I kinda fell for it. I used to like loud-ish hubs, but not I9 loud… Admittedly been on Onyx hubs for a couple years. Can’t deal with excessively loud hubs anymore.

I’ll take numbers and letters that correspond to anything over “Comp, Expert, Elite, and Pro” What’s more better, Elite or Expert? 😂

2/26/2025 9:47am Code numbers and spec jargon in the product title. This is essentially the car audio industry for as long as I can remember.

In an industry full of confusing nomenclature (see: "EXO+ Maxxterra" vs. "TLR Gravity Pro Addix Soft"), I've always found Giant's naming system to be particularly confusing. "Trance X E+ Advanced Elite." Imagine being a new customer! Totally hopeless.
