When this Norco Fluid FS A1 arrived at STW HQ, I said "Hurray for metal trail bikes. Especially metal trail bikes with decent geometry."
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.

The Norco Fluid FS 4 is a ripping trail bike at an outstanding price point. This rad singletrack slayer delivers a very confident and capable ride, with...
Extremely capable on the descents
Comfortable climbing abilities
Solid build spec
Long wheelbase might not be ideal for some trail networks
Not a particularly spritely climber

The Norco Fluid FS Carbon matches the geometry and kinematic of its aluminum counterpart in lighter package with size-specific carbon layup

Norco’s revamped Fluid FS A1 made waves when released in the summer of 2022. This no-nonsense trail bike is packed with features and components normally reserved for more expensive options and the global bike media took notice.
Value for money with high-end components at a lower price point
Modern geometry with size-specific chainstay length and seat tube angles
Excellent components: Fox Factory 34 fork, Shimano XT drivetrain, TRP Trail Evo brakes, Bear Pawl hubs on Stan's Flow S1 rims, Vittoria tires, 170mm SDG Tellis dropper
Balanced and comfortable ride with centered body position
Soft suspension provides good traction
Agile and playful on flowy trails, stable at speed
Powerful brakes with light actuation
Versatile for both trail riding and bikepacking
Frame has accessory mounts under top tube for bikepacking
Suspension wallows when hammering; requires climb switch activation
Horst-link lacks pep when mashing out of the saddle compared to DW-link
Vittoria tires have soft sidewalls that fold during aggressive cornering
Fox 34 fork can be overwhelmed at very high speeds

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

I ended up putting down my 4th fastest time on the Fluid, just one second slower than my 2nd and 3rd place times, and two seconds slower than my fastest time, which was on the Trek Fuel EX..
Great geometry and well-chosen components for a reasonable price
Solid, ready for anything ride feel
Norco's suspension setup guide is one of the best out there.
Could use a chainguide and a longer dropper post.
