The Norco guys I talked to wouldn't give specifics, but said there is some pretty good stuff coming down. Not sure if that means new bikes or significant updates.

Have Norco dropped the Torrent now? I'd like to see a 29x2.6 hard tail (Fluid 29er)
The torrent was effectively dropped in 2018 with only limited model rollover for 2019.
At one point there were rumors of a steel torrent, but it doesn't look like anything came from that.
I would hope that the Fluid HT just gets a geometry and rear through axle match to the Fluid FS, or at least do a higher end fluid HT with a rear through axle in the 1 and 2 levels of the bike. I'd understand if they didn't want to update the $1200 Canadian dollar build option.
I will say this though - another major Canadian player is going to come out with an absolutely bonkers 29x2.6 hardtail sometime over this summer. Think Doctahawk levels of crazy.

I really hope the Fluid HT comes with 29er 2.4/2.6 tyres. 650B+ are too mushy for my trails.

I wouldn't count on anything 2020 showing up for Norco for a long time. Outside of mid-year releases (current Optic, new Revolver) their typical release schedule as far as actual availability is usually November through February.... there were a few lucky folks who got Aurum HSP's in August last year but most were Feb/March/April, for example.
