Safety Tips for Riders
Even after repairs, it’s important to keep your brakes in top shape.
- Inspect before each ride — look for loose bolts or unusual brake feel.
- Test braking in a safe, low-speed area before riding downhill or in traffic.
- Schedule regular maintenance — brake components wear over time.
Why This Matters
Brake failure isn’t just a mechanical issue—it’s a safety threat.
High-speed downhill sections or technical trails demand absolute braking reliability.
Norco’s fast action helps protect riders, but it’s up to owners to respond quickly.
Final Thoughts
If you own a 2025 Norco Sight VLT CX, do not ride it until the repair is complete.
Taking action now could prevent a serious crash later.
Safety is always worth a short break from the trails.
