Norco Bicycles (Canada) - Press Release: For the next-generation Fluid Full Suspension, we started with a clean slate and set out to design our new favourite, no-compromise full suspension trail bike for hitting that perfect ribbon of singletrack, rolling that mossy slab, or popping that root to the next turn. With its confidence-inspiring geometry, playful ride handling, incredible suspension feel and unmatched fun factor, the Fluid FS will take your trail riding experience to the next level.

Rider Benefits:

Lightweight aluminum frame:

The premium X6 double-butted aluminum frameset features size scaled tubing to maintain the same stiffness and ride quality across all frame sizes. This allows us to provide the handling characteristics we intended for, delivering a responsive and playful trail riding experience. Thoughtful design details such as internal cable routing and smooth welding technology allow for clean lines and a quiet, rattle-free ride.

Balanced geometry:

As a new-generation trail bike, we engineered the Fluid FS around a balanced geometry that keeps you centered on the bike giving you the confidence you need to stick your lines. A more forward riding position allows you to punch up the climbs effortlessly and push into corners confidently.

Suspension design optimized for trail purposes:

The suspension was tuned to get the most out of the latest generation of shocks and forks, offering increased traction and control when needed. The bike's playful but balanced personality makes you want to hit every trail and corner over and over again while having the ability to get you out of trouble when things go sideways, literally.

No-compromise component selection:

A no-compromise component selection at all price points brings performance to Fluid FS riders of all levels. Featuring dropper posts, reliable 1x drivetrains, and tubeless compatible 2.6" tires for maximum traction and control, the Fluid FS is ready for the trails you know and the ones you have yet to explore.

27.5" and 29" wheels:

Designed around 27.5" wheels for XS-M frame sizes and 29" wheels for M-XL, the Fluid FS gives medium riders a choice of wheel size allowing them to further fine tune handling characteristics based on their size, riding style and preferences. Both are tuned to deliver almost identical ride handling and optimal performance on any trail you can find.
