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.
Feb 2019 · Alan Muldoon
The Norco Fluid FS has long been one of the best entry-level suspension bikes on the market, and for 2019 Norco has raised the bar once again.
Killer build kit and finish
Over-damped shock deadens the ride
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 …
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.
Relatively heavy overall weight.
A little lardy on the climbs.
No tubeless tape or valves.
