Jun 2020 · Mick Kirkman
Solid and confident once up to speed, but slow to get there and let down by its fork
Frame is a good shape, with (rear) suspension that’s stable while pedalling
1x SRAM Eagle drivetrain is quiet and secure, with a wide-range cassette to aid climbing
Feels heavy and is slow to get up to speed
Can be tough to manoeuvre when rolling with momentum
Suntour fork isn’t very smooth or effective over repeated hits

Suspension issues are resolved
Spec far exceeds its pricepoint
Weight
Brakes are lacking

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.
