Cotic Bfe Gold review - MBR

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.

Highs
  • Bombproof chassis feel without being ridiculously stiff

Lows
  • Still needs a much lower bottom bracket height

Cotic BFe Silver special first ride review

Mar 2018 · Guy Kesteven

It’s worth noting that a 150–160mm fork will tip the seat angle back to the point where it’s likely to give a vague steering feel when you’re in the saddle, so I’d say 120–140mm is definitely the sweet spot for fork travel with the BFe.. .
