Going with a carbon front triangle saves 600 grams, but is it worth it?
Composed, comfortable ride quality
Well-rounded suspension performance
Excellent geometry and size-scaling
Alloy bike rides just as well, presents better value
Grippy, comfortable climbing gives it more of a long-travel feel

We’ve had a good time ripping around on our Norco Fluid FS Carbon review bike, and now we’re ready to share our thoughts and impressions on this 130mm travel trail bike. Last year, Norco made some serious waves when they released their completely redesigned and feature-packed Fluid FS Alloy line of bikes. Following the success of the Fluid Alloy and seeking to bring the design, engineering and other elements that made the Fluid FS Alloy an award-winning bike from many media outlets, Norco upped the ante, and yes, the MSRP, on the Fluid Carbon. Let’s dive in.
Insanely playful rear end
Poppy, lively, snappy
Corners
Jumps
Pedals well
Well-rounded trail bike
Stiffer than alloy
Not as great value as alloy builds
Stiffer than alloy
Can’t get this green color in USA

While not the flashiest, this is an incredibly fun bike to ride, which flatters your skills
Agile yet confidence-inspiring geometry
Feels as though it has more travel than it does
Excellent climbing traction
Deserves more powerful brakes
Could do with a tougher rear tyre
Not everyone will get on with the front tread pattern

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
Jun 2023
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.
Excellent component spec for the price (Fox Factory 34, Shimano XT, TRP Trail Evo 4-piston brakes)
Modern aggressive trail geometry with size-specific chainstay and seat tube angles
Intuitive Ride-Aligned Design suspension setup tool
Balanced and comfortable body position
Gobs of traction from soft suspension top end
Playful and nimble despite stiffness when loaded
Accessory mounts on top tube for frame bag
Excellent value
Suspension wallows when hammering, less efficient under power compared to DW-link
Vittoria tires have soft sidewalls that fold during aggressive cornering
Fox 34 fork can be overwhelmed when riding very aggressively
