TESTED: Norco Fluid FS1 2019

Feb 2019

So what am I looking at here? This is the $3199 Norco Fluid FS1. The Fluid series received some love for 2019, and the build quality of this full aluminium bike is very neat indeed. In fact, with its clean, straight lines we think it’s now the best looking frame out of all the aluminium …

Highs
  • Inspiring performance in technical trails.

  • Ticks all the must-have boxes for a modern trail bike.

  • Clean and well-executed frame design.

  • Smooth and grippy suspension and tyres.

Lows
  • Relatively heavy overall weight.

  • A little lardy on the climbs.

  • No tubeless tape or valves.
