The original and best, and still kicking the competition in the nuts four years on, the Cotic Soul is the classic long fork steel hardtail. A trail riding machine in the truest sense, the Soul has amazing adaptability and all round performance. It's just as happy ripping up the singletrack at your local woods or trail centre as it is tearing down mountains on your summer holidays.

The Soul is a completely modern take on the steel hardtail. No noodly pedalling flex and out of date handling here; the Soul gives you an oversize Reynolds 853 front triangle for huge strength to weight ratio. The beautiful wishbone stayed cromoly rear end keeps that classic steel feel. Cotic Ultra Compact Geometry is featured, with committed steering geometry correction for 100-130mm forks, steep seat angle and short rear end for ultimate climbing traction and 'pin the front wheel in' chuckability.

And recently we've improved things further! Lighter rear stays and neater chainstay gussets save some weight, whilst in response to customer demand the cable/hose routing is now under the top tube and features zip-tie hose clips, including one in the centre of the top tube.

Designed and engineered in the UK by trail riders, for trail riders, the Soul will take you anywhere you want to go, and then off the edge if you want to! It might just be the last bike you'll ever need...

Don't want gears? You need the Simple : a singlespeed based on the Soul.

Geometry and Sizing Chart

The chart is a guide to frame size. Ultra Compact Geometry means that the frames are small and long. You can take this two ways. You can either have a regular position coupled with a small and chuckable frame, or you could go for the next size up and go long and racey without feeling like you're riding a gate. You lot are just too different to say for sure, so drop us a line at size@cotic.co.uk and we'll be happy to discuss set up based on what you're riding at the moment.
