Expirience with the Norco Fluid FS C1

Ludwig Döhl The Fluid is the box office hit of Norco. So it's no surprise that the Canadians are now bringing out a carbon version of the ever-popular all-mountain. Where only the main frame is made of carbon. The four-bar linkage rear remains aluminum, even on the top model. The Fluid FS C1 is also quite practical in other respects: UDH derailleur hanger, space for two large water bottles in the frame, robust frame protectors and a cable routing that does not go through the headset show that the Norco will remain down-to-earth in 2024. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Norco Fluid FS C1, the 65 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the All Mountain von Norco. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 6999 Euro . We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
