The Fluid has built its reputation as one of the best value trail bikes on the market, and the new generation is lighter and more capable again. A full 6066 aluminium frame saves weight over the previous model without giving away strength, and with 140mm up front and 130mm out back it's the kind of bike that makes progression feel easy - from after-work laps to all-day missions.
The Fluid A1 is the top-spec alloy build, and it's loaded: RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork and Super Deluxe Select shock, Shimano Deore XT 12-speed, Shimano SLX 4-piston brakes, WTB KOM Team wheels and Schwalbe Magic Mary rubber. That's a spec you'd usually only see on bikes costing a lot more - it's ready to take on anything the Peninsula or the high country can throw at it. Drop into Jetty Road Cycles in Rosebud to check one out in person, and our workshop will make sure it's dialled for you.
