Norco Sasquatch or Fluid LT 2 ??

[Digitalis]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a new bike, i've narrowed it down to a Norco Sasquatch 09 for $1500 or a Norco Fluid LT2 for $2500

I wonderring which bike you'd buy if you were me ?

I'm just starting to go into downhill and free ride a bit more, so i'm leaning towards the sasquatch, but i race some XC which makes me totally unsure lol...

get the fluid
you could also consider buying another brand of bike.
also dont rush into it.

Buy two bikes. A second hand DH/ freeride bike and an XC bike. No bike is good at both. I have just been through this same saga. I was going to buy a fluid LT but then thought it's too heavy for XC and no good for DH (stem too long steering angle too steep etc). So i ended up with a Giant antham and am stocked. Just means i can't play around on the freeride stuff i used to love on my shore.

What other things are there ??

Specialized is way to expensive, giant doesn't really have an equivelent to the fluid that i've seen for the price (i may be wrong), Kona is also slightly more expensive.

But a good tip to not rush into it thanks

I would buy two bikes lol, because your right, that is way better, but i can't really afford two atm
