![]() ![]() ![]() It’s no fault of Norco, just a facet when trying to build more affordable models, there’s a balance of give and take with parts specs that will suit varying riders differently. The size large fitted me perfectly at 5’11, even though I have short legs and a long torso.ĭepending on rider skill-level and demands, the parts spec on the bike drifts from totally functional to upgrade ASAP. The suspension kinematics deliver more support on the climbs, while providing more control on the way back down the mountain. ![]() The Fluid’s Alloy frame is designed with Norco’s “Ride Aligned” system that, with the help of an app-based assistant, aligns the rider’s center of gravity to a more comfortable and confident riding position. The 440mm seat tube on our large size has a reasonable 275mm seat post insertion that should allow most riders to fit a long travel dropper. There’s a 65-degree head angle 76.2-degree (effective) seat angle that steepens by 0.3 degrees every size increase to better centralize taller riders a stretched out 462mm rear end across the size range and 25mm bottom bracket drop. Reach numbers begin at 410mm on the small size, and increase 30mm per size up to 500mm for the XL, giving our large test rig a 470mm reach that’s accompanied by a 618mm stack. Norco’s new Fluid VLT sports decidedly modern geometry, but not in an extreme manner. As you’d expect from a Shimano EP8 driven bike, the Fluid VLT uses their EM800 1.6” color display, and connects to the E-Tube Project app to allow for user customization, fault diagnosis and firmware updates without plugging anything in. The test unit I had was equipped with the 900Wh battery, that combined with the alloy frame and parts spec brought the bikes weight on my scale to a hefty 61lbs for the size Large. This unique purchase option will give the buyer more freedom to choose battery size based on planned ride distance, handling preference or the size of their wallet. A 540Wh battery will run you $900, a 720Wh battery for $1,100 and a whopping 900Wh battery for $1,300. The battery is a separate purchase from the bike, with three options to choose from. The Shimano STEPS EP8 motor and alloy framed eBike will run you $5,200 US, but here is where Norco does things a bit differently. The Norco Fluid VLT has 130mm of rear wheel travel and 140mm up front. We would love to see a frame option or a higher end build option for riders who don’t need as much travel but want to rip a super fun eMTB on their local trails. This bike is designed to be a more affordable, everyday rider option than the more aggressive Sight VLT and Range VLT bikes.
