Calm down, it was just a joke. The link is that Norco is also a canadian company so I imagine you must be a little subjective. Nothing wrong with it , it's just expensive toys we're talking about. You can check the Vpace Moritz24 or Propain Frechdax , they both have around 10kgs. I've seen one such Propain being abused in Bad Wildbad Bikepark and it didn't break so I think it is all possible under 2k. I still don't agree with you but I hope we can both live with it.

Comparing it to Commencal only proves my point. "longer = more stable" but "too long is clumsy". It's not about the CS length alone, it's about the proportions. Just calculate similar proportions for your height and think if you'd buy such bike. If a 15kg enduro bike can be abused by abused by 90kg man for several years I think a 10kg(22lbs) bike can handle an "up to 90 pound" (40kg) kid. Boost spacing for a stronger wheel.... 20/24inch wheel. What would be needed for 29 then? I know you're candian but it doesn't make your arguments valid

Oh man, why are all bike companies following the same recipe for kid bikes? Details of the Fluid 20inch: -355mm CS and 320mm reach? Would anyone ride a bike with a similar proportion with 27 or 29 inch wheels? -148mm rear hubs.. really? These are for kids, 135mm should be cheaper to supply and better for the kids. - 140mm cranks ? These are bikes for kids up to 1.3m height At this point I don't even bother asking for weight (I can imagine why it's not specified ).

The bike with excesive AS and PKBK is very good on rough terrain and confidence inspiring (Rallon) Trek, the second lowest AS bike is percieved as the best climber. Except for Rallon, slowest bikes of first tester are fastest bikes of second tester. The time differences are not that big for someone who does not race so it will end up for the personal feeling and preference. How am I supposed to judge now without having the chance to test ride a lot of bikes like you?

I think I have an answer to your dilemma: bikes and butts and cars, in the right order at the right time and place. What is wrong with the top MTB downhiller getting a new toy if it's not a bike and posting he's happy about it? He did not make an article on Vital about it. And in the first place he deserves it. What is wrong with one of the most successful MTB downhill female (and I actually don't like her) trying to be feminine on her personal social network? She also did not post it as an...
