Norco’s new Fluid FS is meant for anybody and everybody. But don’t be fooled; this is no cookie-cutter, crowd-pleaser of a bike. The Fluid FS does a stellar job of playing different roles for different riders, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out among the company’s broad line of capable trail rigs. The Fluid FS’s pure fun factor feels equally ready to please a cross-country fanatic looking for a ride with little more oomph as it does a downhill racer wanting to cover more terrain—and that’s where the middle of the road magic lies in this surprisingly capable 130-millimeter bike.
The new Norco Fluid FS is a surprisingly versatile bike that all sorts of mountain bikers can enjoy. Cross-country riders looking for a relatively efficient bike with excellent descending abilities will have the time of their lives on rough trails. Gravity riders will put up with pedaling uphill on a bike lighter than they’re used to for the surprising reward this bike offers going down. But most importantly of all, new riders entering the scene and looking for a bike that can take them on nearly any type of terrain will be the ones who benefit most from such a stellar package at a good price.
