Fluid HT 1 26 components
Fork
The RockShox Recon Gold RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 120mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels
The wheels on Fluid HT 1 26 are the 26″ aluminum type. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Fluid HT 1 26 comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Dropper post
Norco Fluid HT 1 26 comes with a dropper post. Therefore, climbing or descending will be a breeze.
