NORCO FLUID FS A1 REVIEW - ALUMINUM VALUE WITH ALL THE RIGHT MOVES - Mountain Bike Action Magazine

Sep 2023 · Ron Koch

The travel and geometry are similar to Norco’s carbon-framed Optic, but the ride characteristics of the Fluid are unique to this bike and stay true to the feel we’ve come to expect from the Canadian mega-brand.

  • Vittoria tires have soft sidewalls that fold during aggressive cornering

  • Fox 34 fork can be overwhelmed when riding very aggressively

[Tested] Norco Fluid FS A1

Jun 2023 · Ian Collins

This Winter, Norco sent us a mid-duty bike which happens to be their most high value offering – the Fluid FS A1. A 29″ trail bike with 140mm travel up front and 130mm travel out back, the Fluid features a blend of parts that vary from budget to flagship, all while boasting highly refined aesthetics. Thanks to its polished welds one could easily mistake it for a carbon fiber frame. In any case, this bike has a highly appealing mix of components with modern geometry and promising features at an excellent price of just $3,999 USD – let’s see how
