Cotic Rocket Gold Eagle GX 2020 review

Jun 2020

Cotic's updated Rocket might buck the trend by using a UK-made Reynolds steel frame, but it's every inch the progressive long-travel trail/enduro bike thanks to geometry that allows you to extract every last ounce of performance from the 650b wheels. The Cane Creek shock and fork on this complete build aren't as polished as big-name rivals, but it's still a very good bike for the money.

Cotic Rocket Max XF Gold first ride review

Jan 2017 · Guy Kesteven

Fast rolling (for plus at least) WTB tyres and a naturally stable pedalling character from the Droplink suspension and firm top end compression of the X-Fusion shock means it’s a lot more lively and encouraging under power than you’d expect too.. .
