Overview of components
Fork
The FLUID LT 2 comes factory-installed with the Marzocchi fork. This has a travel range of 160mm. 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.
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The FLUID LT 2 has a rear shock with a travel of 158mm. The model Fox DHX-Air 3.0 is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the FLUID LT 2 model has 27.5″ aluminum wheels. These wheels will provide you with more control over the bike. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Norco FLUID LT 2 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
FLUID LT 2 comes in 5 sizes, that range from 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
