Norco's 2019 Fluid FS1 29er is a solid all-around trail machine that offers great bang for your buck.

Where the enduro bike is overkill and the cross-country bike is nerve-wracking, the Fluid is right at home.

RC compares the Norco Fluid FS 1 with Whyte's G-170 S and the Transition Scout Alloy NX to see how much trail bike you can buy for under $3000.

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

The Fluid FS series is no longer the clunky, awkward little sibling of the Optic and Sight. For 2019, it’s grown into a much more refined looking bike, with cleaner construction and all the attention to detail you’ll find on the higher priced Norco duallies. The tube shapes, the excellent internal cable routing, the paint …
Looks like a sorted machine for the burgeoning mountain biker.
Neat finish and great component choices.
Roomy, confident geometry.
None so far.

Potentially great plus (or 2.6in) tyred trail bike, but oversprung fork and cheap tyres spoil the ride. Buy if you budget for a few upgrades
Well-shaped, dropper-ready frame with decent trail-taming potential
SRAM NX gears give a usefully wide-ratio spread with relentless reliability in all conditions
Stubborn and insensitive fork stroke undermines traction and impact control
Cheap, non-tubeless plus tyres aren’t as plush and pillowy as they should be
