Expirience with the Norco Fluid HT 2

Norco Fluid HT 2 Review You want to ride mainly on long tours in light terrain? Then you will love the Norco Hardtail. With a 66,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the Norco Hardtail a real mountain goat in the Downcountry-Bikes. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Norco is behind its products. Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs big.
