We're halfway through the hardtail reviews in our Field Trip value bike series and up next is the Norco Fluid HT 1, a hardtail that comes with a 120mm fork and retails for $1,499 USD. Norco says it's built around a "progressive aluminum frame design to create the ultimate singletrack adventure hardtail."
The sparkly black Fluid HT frame is available in 27.5" wheels in the smaller sizes and 29" wheels in the larger sizes, with medium-sized rides having the choice of either wheel size. The aluminum frame is pretty straightforward with internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, and a Boost thru-axle rear end.
