Expirience with the Norco Fluid HT 2

Norco Fluid HT 2 Review 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 HT 2 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. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the Norco Hardtail oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. At the seating position, Norco combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Fluid HT 2 to on demanding single tracks a buying recommendation in the price range 999 Euro range. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
