Fluid FS 3 29 components
Fork
The Fluid FS 3 29 comes factory-installed with the RockShox Recon Silver RL fork. This has a travel range of 130mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the RockShox Deluxe R rear shock model, which has a travel of 120mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Norco Fluid FS 3 29 2019, has a 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Norco Fluid FS 3 29 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
This bike is available in 3 sizes. They vary from 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
