Escapade: Smooth Supple Speed
Fast feels different on a Cotic. The best Reynolds 853 steel, shaped and honed by us, brings compliance as a performance differentiator. It keeps you fresh for hours, your mind and legs sharp, delivering long range pace to your big rides.
Escapade is calm, compliant and efficient when covering the miles, but it has sharp wits ready for action when the trail starts to twist. Breathing with the trail over rough sections, but quick to change direction when you need it to.
When it comes to descending, now you are where the Escapade leaves the competition behind. Cotic Sureshot geometry is confidence inspiring, encouraging, and just so damn fast! The bike always has a glint in its eye. Charismatic. It makes hard days feel shorter, and long ones feel dreamy. High performance doesn't have to be dull.
Why the Escapade?
You ride on the road but keep finding yourself drawn towards gravel tracks and quiet lanes.
You've looked at carbon gravel bikes and wondered if there's something with more soul.
You want a bike that's as beautiful to own as it is to ride.
You love riding gravel, but want something a bike that doesn't tire you out over longer distances.
You want something lighter and faster than a full adventure setup, without giving up the ability to explore.
You love your current Escapade, but want a little more offroad performance.
You want a bike handbuilt in the UK from premium materials, that will last and improve with age.
Escapade frames are fabricated in the UK by Fiveland bike, and bikes are assembled right here at our HQ on the edge of the Peak District.
Sureshot geometry means confidence and efficiency at speed, with great fit and contol.

The chart is a guide to frame size for the Escapade: Cotic Sureshot Geometry means that the frames are low and long, designed for a short 70mm stem. You'll need at least a 350mm seatpost due to the compact sizing. Note, the sloping top tube design needs to be taken into account if you're comparing seat tube size with other bikes. Drop us a line at size@cotic.co.uk and we'll be happy to discuss size and set up based on what you're riding at the moment.

Bike Specs & Prices
Complete bikes from: £3249
Bikes are now available worldwide, with free shipping to UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.
We have several levels of stock build which are based around our favourite parts in builds you can trust. We never specify anything we haven't ridden, tested and enjoyed. However, just about everything in your build can be customised to help with fit (contact us if you need help) or to personalise your bike. Want a different fork? Shock? Brakes? Wheels? Tyres? Bars? Stem? Longer drop seatpost? Women's saddle? Men's saddle? Colour matched Hope components? No problem. It's your bike.
All the bikes are assembled from a frame right here in the UK by us. We can do everything from bare frame to complete bike: Send us your favourite saddle and grips to fit. Send us your wheels if you have a nice pair you want to use. There's no point you getting kit you don't want. It's wasteful. That gives you almost limitless options to customise and tune your bike to your needs. If you can't see an option you'd like on the order form, get in touch. We all know it's good to head off piste sometimes!
Tap on a build title below to see the default specification and price for that build... then hit the 'CONFIGURE YOUR BIKE' button to see all the customisations you can make to the build. When you select your country at the bottom of the form, sales taxes (VAT), pricing and shipping will automatically update for you. Once you're happy, order your bike!
