Norco Fluid FS 3 Complete Mountain Bike 2021 - Used
Finding a capable trail rig that doesn't require black market organ pawning to afford is no easy task. But before you get into that bathtub full of ice, maybe you should take a look at the Norco Fluid FS 3 Complete Mountain Bike. This beautifully designed bike is an absolute blast to ride, comes spec'd out with a powerful and efficient SRAM drivetrain, and will leave your buddies' mega enduro machines in the dust when it comes time to climb. It flows downhill better than any short travel bike has a right to, and as an added bonus, you get to keep both of your kidneys. Think about it.
Product Details
Frame/Shock:
Lightweight Aluminum Frame: The premium X6 double-butted aluminum 6061 alloy frame features size-scaled tubing to maintain the same ride quality across all frame sizes. Thoughtful design details such as internal cable routing and smooth welding allow for clean lines and a quiet, rattle-free ride.
Progressive Design: The Fluid FS uses Norco's holistic approach to fit, geometry and suspension kinematics to achieve its playfully confident singletrack performance. The unique combination of longer reach, slacker head tube angle and steep seat tube angle provides a more forward weight distribution within a longer wheelbase. This allows for more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control when descending so you can confidently evolve your skills.
X-Fusion 02 Pro R Rear Shock: The 02 series line of shocks include a new air canister design which adds 15% more air for smoother ramp up, increased tuning options with three different size air-can volume spacers, and larger, more ergonomic knobs to allow for easier access to the adjustments.
Shock Adjustments: Rebound Adjust, Remote Lockout
