Don't kid yourself though with it's nice affordable price, it does have some cons as well. But they are bearable trade offs. After coming from a 26" All-Mountain bike with 150mm travel with better suspension (also a few hundred dollars extra), the Fluid 7.3 is not far off it's trail.
Bear in mind that Fluid 7.3 is meant for Trail enthusiasts. So in short it's wasn't made to take on big drops with only 120mm of travel. Don't get me wrong it's still a fantastic bike to throw around the trail. Never fear though, if you can save up and upgrade the front and rear suspension and upgrade the 160mm rotors to a bigger 180mm. You will feel more confident attacking the trails full speed ahead.
The Fluid 7.3 is a very exciting bike to tackle tricky and bumpy trails head on. Straight from the shop and out into the bush you will appreciate what Norco has done with this beauty.
If it's already a fantastic ride, just imagine if you upgrade the suspension and rotors. Plus add a dropper seatpost and you'll end up with a very mean beast!!!
