Norco Fluid FS 1 - 20'' Kids Mountainbike - 2021 - orange/charcoal

The Student Becomes The Master!

The Fluid FS 1 is a progressive, aggressive trail bike designed for young riders to tackle a wide range of demanding trails with confidence and capability. Bringing Norco's progressive design to 7-10 year old riders requires more than just shorter measurements, and smaller tubes – they built the Fluid FS 1 with low standover, longer reach, youth-tuned suspension, components and a dropper post that is optimized for riders below 40kg.

Key features of the Norco Fluid FS 1

• Manitou J-Unit Expert Air fork with 120mm travel
• Fox Performance FLOAT rear shock with 100mm travel
• Shimano Deore/Zee 10-speed drivetrain
• lightweight 6061 aluminum frame
• hydraulic Shimano BR-MT500 disc brakes

Details of the Norco Fluid FS 1

The Fluid FS Youth series uses Norco's holistic approach to fit, geometry and suspension kinematics to offer young rippers real, uncompromised performance. The unique combination of longer reach, slacker head tube angle and steep seat tube angle provides a more forward weight distribution within a longer wheelbase. This allows more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control when descending so young riders can confidently attack the trail and progress their abilities.

With lower Bottom Bracket heights and standover clearance than previous models and a totally unique linkage design, young riders will benefit from the same control and suspension performance that adults do!

Smaller riders require less spring force in their suspension components and dropper posts. Less spring force needs less damping, so Norco spec'd youth-specific tunes on all Fluid Youth bikes so the suspension and droppers move properly under riders below 90 pounds.

Kids will benefit from youth-specific touch points, sized to provide ample grip and support for smaller bodies, but without sacrificing the performance and durability that dedicated riders need.
