Join us in the Cotic showroom this Saturday 7th December for the Cotic Christmas Market.

We open our doors one Saturday a month here at Cotic HQ, and our festive market day this Saturday is the last one of the year. There will be:

If you'd like to test ride any of our bikes, get in touch to book on.

Give us a shout if you'd like to join either the CC or Women of Steel rides, they're free, but we like to have an idea of numbers.

Please do come along and get some Christmas shopping done for the bike rider/s in your life. All the brands coming are people we know and work with, who make a range of lovely parts and accessories at various price points from stocking fillers to big gifts.

If you're super organised and have done all your shopping already, then join us for a social spin, festive food, drink and cheer.

Cycling Weekly had a Cascade on test from us, and they loved it.

So much so, they awarded it 'Best Value' in their Gravel Bike of the Year Awards.

They loved the Cascades confident nature, praising it's "control and balance" and "stable handling".

The bike they had was our Small demo bike which is a Bronze build with a few choice upgrades such as a dropper seatpost. At just £2149 it is a hugely capable bike for the price, and of course we have higher spec build options too.

We have a handful of Cascade frames in stock in XS, Large and XL. If a super capable and confident gravel bike sounds like it would fit into your life, give us a shout. You could be riding one before Christmas.

Cascade will be restock in all sizes in the spring, you can pre-order now with just a 20% deposit. Give us a call or email to discuss yours.

Just look at these stunning bikes.

We have a fresh batch of our flagship hardtail coming into stock very soon.

The Solaris is our very best hardtail mountain bike. Full Reynolds 853 front triangle with bespoke tubing, perfectly laid out in our signature longshot geometry.

It's light, fast, tough and capable. Yes, you can have it all. It is just as happy grabbing a quick hour on the local singletrack as it is crossing the map, loaded with bags.

Solaris frames are handmade in Czechia and we have a fresh batch on it's way to us. The C4 size frames have already arrived, check out these stunning photos.

As you can see, these new frames now have a luxurious gloss finish which looks incredible.

C2, C3 and C5 frames in both Forest and Ember will be coming into stock just before Christmas. If you order today, we'll be able to dispatch your frame or bike early January.

There are no C1 frames in this batch, but we have Matte Forest and Matte Ember C1 frames in stock now.

The Solaris also moves to a UDH dropout, and is the first Cotic frame to be compatible with Sram Transmission derailleurs.

Frame only is £1199, and complete bikes start from just £2399.

We love talking about bikes, give us a call or an email to discuss your new Solaris with us.

Cheers,

Sam.

We try not to get involved with Black Friday sales where possible. We have in the past on occasion, or changed things up a little with our infamous "Duck Egg Friday" when we had a few too many Roadrats in that colour, but largely it's not for us. No shade on people who do, but we set our prices fairly and we hope that you recognise the value in what we do.

That's not to say we never discount. We have discounted parts heavily in the Be More Cotic sale for most of the last year. So that's what we are continuing to do.

We do have some sale items - run out New Old Stock frames, ex-demo bikes, excess stock forks and shocks and parts - and they are where you will always find them, on the Outlet page. We're not discounting them any further, but the prices are very good already, in our humble opinion.

So, if Black Friday fever has hit, but you want to support your favourite bike brand, head over to the Outlet and see what we have.

If nothing on the Outlet floats your boat, don't forget that we are fully stocked and ready to go on Escapade, new Solaris is due in the next week or so, we have UK Made Droplink frames in stock in most sizes, colours and models, and Cascade in larger sizes in the wonderful Cosmic Black, and XS in Army Green. It also won't be long until the next limited run of Escapade UK 853 is here too.

All our bikes are winter proof, because we live in the North. Why wait?

Introducing a brand new Cotic T Shirt and beanie hat.

A limited run of hand printed T shirts and a cozy hat perfect for keeping your post-ride noggin warm.

The T shirts are 100% organic cotton and are screen printed in Sheffield using environmentally friendly inks.

They are a relaxed fit in Anthracite Grey, and are available now in XS, Small, Medium, Large and XL.

Limited run; when they're gone, they're gone.

Perfectly timed for the cold weather, the beanie hats are organic cotton and feature a subtle Cotic tab in orange.

Both are £20, or you can get a T shirt and a Beanie Bundle for £35.

UK shipping is £5.

EU customers can order via our eBay store.

We'll have tees and hats available at our Christmas Market in the Cotic showroom on Saturday 7th December too.

Save on shipping and pop down to buy yours on the day, along with some great gifts from the likes of Restrap, Hex, Hope and Trail Bloom.

You can also demo a bike, eat mince pies and drink mulled things. Very festive, see you there.

The UK made, Reynolds 853 tubed Escapades are currently in production just a few miles away from Cotic HQ.

Tubes drawn in Birmingham, cut and welded in Mansfield, painted in Newark and then built up to your dream spec here at Cotic HQ in Chesterfield.

Escapade UK853 is the most boutique gravel bike we make.

Beautiful, tough, light and unique. Available as a frameset or a built-to-order complete bike.

The gorgeous Cirrus is the standard colour, and there are 'a la carte' colour options for a truly personal bike. They are tried and tested paints we know look great and last well; you can choose your frame colour, decal colour and gloss or matte finish.

Just letting you know that droplink frame production will pause briefly while the Five Land guys set up their new workshop.

Mat and Calum up at Five Land Bikes manufacture all of our full suspension frames from the short travel FlareMAX to the alp slaying RocketMAX. This has kept them pretty busy over the last few years, and they are moving to a bigger and better premises.

They have quite a bit of fitout and setup to do in the new place, and we can't wait to see it in action.

This of course means they won't be able to make any frames for a couple of months.

They expect to be up and running early in the new year and will crack straight on with making droplink frames to their incredibly high standards, with immaculate welding and stunning finishes.

They will also be making most of the parts of our brand new Rocket ebike frames.

We have some FlareMAX, Jeht and RocketMAX frames in stock now in some sizes and colours, so there is a good chance the full suspension Cotic of your dreams could be with you in a matter of days.

If your size and colour choice isn't in stock, the best thing to do is to place a pre-order. This will allow us to plan the production schedule for when Five Land are back up and running, and will save you having to wait longer than necessary.

Simply put; if you order it, we'll make it!

As always we are on hand to chat about your options and answer any questions you may have. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, we love chatting about bikes!

Cheers,

Sam.

It's the rebel in the range, the tough nut, the bruiser. Today the rowdiest Cotic hardtail just got even better and more fun.

Introducing Burly Iron in it's latest and greatest form; the brand new BFe.

This new model replaces both the BFeMAX and the BFe275.

This brand new hardcore hardtail has a trick up it's sleeve. It can be run as a full 29er for smoothing out the roughest trails, or as a dedicated 'mullet' with a 27.5 rear wheel for slashing turns and sending jumps.

The all new BFe features our Double Decker Dropout allowing you to run the BFe with either a 29 or 27.5 rear wheel.

You can fit the smaller rear wheel bringing the playful, responsive, fun and exciting handling of a mullet bike. With the shorter chainstay length and quicker handling it drops into steep and committed corners that bit easier, and feels perfectly poised flying off kickers and drops.

Want a more stable and sure footed ride feel in the rough stuff? Looking for a tough bike for big winter miles or local enduro races? Run the new BFe as a full 29er and smooth out the roughest trails and longer rides at top speed, its bonkers how capable this bike is for a hardtail.

Reynolds 853 downtube brings a touch of class and heritage to this tearaway of a bike. Who says bombproof can't feel refined?

The new BFe is available in the sleek Gunmetal or the bold White CMYK colour schemes, from a frame only up to a complete bike. As with every single Cotic, it is 'Your bike, built for you' so you can start with our Bronze Build for wallet friendly shreds or build the ultimate hardcore hardtail of your dreams. Your BFe will be uniquely yours.

Frame only £699.

Complete bikes from £2099 for the Bronze Build.

Silver build with Hope wheels, SLX and Revelation fork is £2849.

Gold Build with Hope wheels, XT and Lyrik Ultimate is £3599.

It's an incredibly versatile frame, as well as wheel size options it can run fork travel from 130mm – 160mm so your BFe could be a razer sharp whippet for slicing through the singletrack, or a burly downhill sled capable of embarrassing your mates on their full suspension bikes. It's a tough machine, if you enjoy brave lines and clocking air miles but also want to munch the miles to get there; this is the hardtail for you.

Our C-Sizing makes it's way onto the new BFe. C1 being the smallest and C5 the biggest, making it easier than ever to get the perfect fitting hardcore hardtail, from 162 – 195cm there is a BFe to fit you and your riding style.

Tonnes of standover clearance and a lower BB make it drop into a corner with ease and confidence, while the slack head angle takes care of whatever lies ahead on the trail. The new BFe also uses the UDH mech hanger, so you can get a replacement hanger from anywhere in the world should you have a mis-hap on the trail. Please note though, the Double Decker Dropout on the BFe is not compatible with Sram Transmission groupsets.

The BFe frames are about to go in paint in Taiwan, you can pre-order today with just a 20% deposit. With shipping time, we expect the frames to be delivered in February 2025.

We'll get a couple of frames sent over early for photographs once they're painted, as soon as we've done these we'll shout about them with loads of photos and video in a few weeks.

We're really excited for this new BFe, and can't wait to see what you'll get up to with it. However it's built, its a bike that will make you grin like a fool.

As always we are here to answer any of your questions, please do get in touch to discuss your new BFe.

Cheers,

Sam.
