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 Gold review

Aug 2019 · Mick Kirkman

A high-speed bomber hardtail, but with less agility and climbing comfort than some rivals

Highs
  • Composed at speed and super-stable in ‘hold on tight’ situations

  • Well-priced considering the quality frame

Lows
  • 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
