First Ride: Norco Fluid A1 - Don't Mess With a Winning Recipe
My 2023 Fluid FS A1 has heavier wheels and fork (a 36 instead of the 34) and weights 15.4 kilos in S3 (L). Funny because this article says the Gen 3 frame is lighter.

First Ride: Norco Fluid A1 - Don't Mess With a Winning Recipe
@DaveRobinson81: Ah, I guess I got redirected to the international one since I'm in Argentina. The shock is a regular 210x50.

First Ride: Norco Fluid A1 - Don't Mess With a Winning Recipe
EDIT: Per Norco's website it's a 210x50 shock, so it could be overstroked to 55mm to deliver ~143mm of travel.

Head to Head: 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy vs. 2020 Norco Optic
Amen bro! I hunted down the comments because I knew someone will be wise enough to suggest measuring the Santa Cruz to a moar modern Norco model. Fluid FS makes for much better comparison.

Riding From 6,770m: The First Female Descent of Cerro Mercedario
@Andrazzz: all good, mistakes happen. And I bet prioritizing what to put in the article when an avalanche of memories rush in from such an adventure wasn't an easy task.

Interesting, mortal single mention of where this place is... And I'm saying this as an Argentinian.

Stephane Pelletier's Predictions for 2026
Bikes have been subsidizing ebike market insertion for years now. To a newbie, it seems the brands are throwing in the motor and battery for free when comparing the prices is similarly specced bikes and ebikes.
Maybe in the near future bike brands will effectively lower the prices of bikes as Stephane says, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
