Cotic muscle up a hardcore hardtail with the all-new Cotic BFe MAX 29" wheel steel mountain bike, built around a 140mm fork for shredding up and down.
Feb 2020 · Mick Kirkman
For 2020, Cotic Bfe has been revamped. The head angle is now a degree slacker for more control, while a steeper seat tube improves the climbing position.
Bombproof chassis feel without being ridiculously stiff
Still needs a much lower bottom bracket height

James Vincent grabs a first ride on the new Cotic BFe hardtail - do the geometry tweaks add up to a significant change?
Aug 2019 · Mick Kirkman
A high-speed bomber hardtail, but with less agility and climbing comfort than some rivals
Composed at speed and super-stable in ‘hold on tight’ situations
Well-priced considering the quality frame
Frame feels less comfortable and supple than the BTR and Ragley which were also on test
The seated climbing position isn’t the best
Upright ride position makes it harder to switch direction fast in consecutive turns
