Norco Fluid FS Carbon
$5,199
Norco has taken its venerable four-bar suspension design and done a bit of best-of-both-worlds magic, combining a carbon front triangle with aluminum seat- and chainstays to keep costs down. The Fluid FS C3 sports a RockShox Pike Select fork with 140 mm of travel and a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock with 130 mm of travel. There’s full contingent of SRAM components. Standouts include the SRAM NX Eagle shifter-and-derailleur combo and an SX Eagle Dub crankset, and the long-travel Tranz-X dropper . . .
