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

Norco Fluid 3 HT (2019) review

Jan 2019 · Seb Stott

Fun, confident handling on smooth and grippy terrain, but stubborn fork, lackluster tyres and weak brakes let it down on tricky trails. Buy if you can live with a firm fork and don’t mind upgrading the tyres

Highs
  • Well-balanced geometry is confidence inspiring and playful

  • 1x11 drivetrain and dropper post help the Fluid flow over varying terrain

  • Plus tyres roll fast and smooth out trail chatter

Lows
  • Over-sprung and sticky fork is disappointing in the rough, tyres lack cornering bite, brakes lack power
