Résumé

The Cotic FlareMax is a trail bike that combines a steel and alloy frame with forward-shifted geometry and a flatter shock rate, offering a mix of assured muscle and aggressive handling. It's praised for its customisable options and solid specification, though some find it a bit sluggish on flatter trails and heavier than its peers. The bike excels on technical descents, with a geometry that leans towards slacker and longer, making it a point-and-shoot machine on challenging terrain.

Pros
  • Steel and alloy frame delivers a fantastic mix of assured muscle

  • Forward shifted geometry and flatter shock rate feel awesome

  • Plenty of customisable options

  • Solid specification with reliable components

Cons
  • Heavier than most carbon/alloy bikes in the shorter-travel category

  • A touch sluggish on flatter, twistier trails

  • Rear wheel travel can feel limited on rougher tracks

Key Quotes
What was previously a very confident and assured but slightly genteel machine has got significantly sharper and more aggressive in a Daniel Craig, not Roger Moore ‘Bond’ style.
Bike Perfect logoBike Perfect
The FlareMax feels like it wants to be ridden flat-out everywhere — it’s not a bike that requires finesse to get the most out of its ride — it’s more of a point and shoot bike, on most terrain.

This bike here is the second iteration of Cotic’s 120mm travel, do-it-all, up-for-most-things, full suspension trail bike.

Cotic FlareMax 125 Review

déc. 2019 · Guy Kesteven

Cotic’s semi-steel short-travel trail mountain bike gets an even more radical geometry and shorter, smoother suspension update

Points forts
  • Steel and alloy frame delivers a fantastic mix of assured muscle

  • Forward shifted geometry and flatter shock rate feel awesome

  • ‘Alternative’ suspension options match frame feel really well

  • Sorted spec with an excellent range of ‘custom’ or even self-supplied options

Points faibles
  • Heavier than most carbon/alloy bikes in the shorter-travel category

  • Approximate rather than super accurate handling at the ragged edge

  • Super long and slack geometry won’t suit every rider or trail

Cotic FlareMAX Eagle Gold review

déc. 2019 · Seb Stott

Don’t get hung up on the frame material, it’s the suspension and geometry that make the bike, and Cotic has done a great job with both

Points forts
  • Confident, stable and agile geometry

  • Sensitive suspension for the travel, particularly when pedalling

  • Good base-tune on the highly-adjustable shock

Points faibles
  • Seat angle could be steeper

  • Inconsistent Shimano XT brakes

Review: Cotic FlareMAX. Is Longshot Geometry a step too far or a step in the right direction?

sept. 2018 · James Love

Cotic has really gone for it with reach increasing by some margin. Reach figures for the new Cotic FlareMAX are up significantly

Review: Cotic FlareMAX

août 2018 · David Arthur

Can British steel compete with carbon and aluminum in the emerging short-travel AM/trail category? This elegant 29er may be the proof...

Points forts
  • Fast and fun

  • Longshot geometry

  • Suspension is sensitive, supple and supportive

Points faibles
  • Limited space for a frame mounted water bottle

  • On the heavy side

  • Seat tube angle could be steeper
