Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the frame. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Rockshox Monarch R rear shock model, which has a travel of 100mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Norco Fluid FS 4.2 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Dropper post
The Norco model is also equipped with a dropper post. 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.
