Norco Fluid FS 3 review

Jun 2020 · Mick Kirkman

Solid and confident once up to speed, but slow to get there and let down by its fork

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Highs

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