The Norco Fluid FS 2 Women’s Is a Spunky Trail Bike.

Dec 2018

This well-equipped 120mm-travel trail bike is capable and playful.

Tested: Norco Fluid 24 4.2

Jun 2018

At face value, it’s easy enough to scoff the need for a $1,700 24-inch kid’s full-suspension mountain bike. And that’s likely why there are not many serious options available. But from what I’ve witnessed with my 10-year-old that, along with her involvement in our local junior development program, the only thing holding kids back from excelling at the sport is having opportunity and the right equipment.

Norco Fluid 1 HT review - MBR

Feb 2018 · Alan Muldoon

The Norco Fluid 1 HT strikes a great balance between performance and value. Low BB height makes you feel more in the bike and boosts stability.

Highs
  • Balanced handling and great value

Lows
  • Only three size options

Norco Fluid 7.1 FS review

Sep 2017 · Guy Kesteven

Outstanding-value spec on a decent chassis makes the Fluid an enjoyable all-rounder. Buy if you're looking for a great value all-rounder for the trails

Highs
  • Excellent-value suspension units, 1x11 drivetrain and dropper post

  • Efficient pedalling and fast-rolling tyres make gaining speed easy

Lows
  • External dropper post routing, limited tyre clearance and QR rear axle betray the frame’s age

  • Steep head angle and frame flex limit confidence in the rough
