Norco Fluid FS A2. Award-winning 130 mm trail bike with 140 mm fork travel, modern geometry, and a durable alloy frame that’s built to progress with you from your first blue trails to technical all-day rides.
Key highlights
- 130 mm rear / 140 mm front travel Fluid FS 6061 alloy frame with Ride Aligned™ geometry for confident trail riding.
- 29" wheels front and rear with roomy reach and steep seat tube angle for efficient climbing and stable descending.
- Continental Kryptotal / Xynotal 2.4" tires on WTB ST rims for grip and durability on PNW trails.
- Long-travel dropper posts and low standover across the size range so more riders can move around the bike in steep terrain.
Suspension & braking
- RockShox Psylo Gold, 140 mm fork with 44 mm offset for control on rough, steep sections.
- Fox Float X Performance Elite rear shock with external LSC/LSR adjustment for tunable support and traction.
- TRP Slate EVO 4-piston brakes with 203 mm front / 180 mm rear 2.3 mm rotors for powerful, consistent stopping.
- Boost hub spacing front and rear keeps the wheels stiff and tracking accurately in heavy braking zones.
Drivetrain & cockpit
- Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain with 10–51 T cassette and Praxis G2 Cadet crankset for wide-range gearing.
- Norco 800 mm alloy bar and 40 mm stem for a stable, modern trail cockpit.
- TranzX YSI34 dropper post (150–200 mm travel, size-dependent) with 34.9 mm diameter for strength and reliability.
- Ride Aligned™ setup makes it easy to dial in fit, suspension, and tire pressures to your weight and riding style.
Fit, setup, and recommended upgrades
- We want every rider, local or remote, to get the best performance from their new Fluid FS A2.
- Local pickup customers: We can set suspension sag, rebound, and tire pressures so the bike is tuned correctly for your weight and local terrain.
- Shipped bikes: The bike arrives professionally assembled and test ridden. If you need help with suspension or cockpit setup at home, our staff can walk you through the basics or answer questions before your first ride.
- Recommended upgrades: Many riders choose to add pedals, body protection, or cockpit adjustments (grips, bar width, stem length) to match their riding style. If you would like suggestions, we can help you choose options that complement the bike’s geometry and intended use.
