Read our full Cotic BFe review to see why the 7th generation model might be one of the most balanced and capable hardtails Logan has tested…
Superb geometry that’s progressive in the right places, making it an excellent trail bike and a very confident descender that’s not over the top in other areas, allowing it to feel great climbing and pedaling for hours on end
Tubeset feels sublime; it perfectly toes the line between comfort and responsiveness
Very long front-center and relatively decent stack is a great fit/feel combo
Sharp paint and subtle graphics
Good tire clearance and a decent set of bottle/cage mounts, although a third under the down tube would be welcome
Thread-in cable routing under the top tube (and additional down tube bosses) provides plenty of mounting points for a full bolt-on frame bag
6.66 pounds for the size large frame🤘
Dimpled chainstay and external gussets aren’t perfect, aesthetically
Stacked dropouts are clever, but I’d prefer a slider for easy singlespeed conversion; this would be a stellar singlespeed trail bike
In my experience with the SolarisMax, the dropper cable entry at the front of the seat tube isn’t ideal for a full frame bag or adjustments
Lower rear rack mounts would be a welcome addition; as would a bottle bracket (a la Neuhaus) on the down tube
Double Decker dropout is not compatible with Transmission derailleurs
