Do I need to make an appointment to test ride a Cotic?
Ideally yes, it helps to get in touch with us in advance so we can make sure the bike you'd like to test ride is available.
You can drop into our showroom to browse the bikes anytime during opening hours.
What is your demo route like?
The test ride loop from our showroom is 5.5 miles long with 475ft of climbing (8.8km long/145m ascent), almost all off-road with a mixture of surfaces. It has gravel paths, a grass climb, quiet tarmac and woodland singletrack. It’s great for any of our bikes.
There are longer and more challenging terrain route options available too if you want to go for a longer gravel ride (and we wouldn’t blame you!) or take a full suspension bike to more challenging terrain. We have Komoot navigation and GPX, or good old paper maps available for all our routes.
Can I try out a Cotic mountain bike in more technical terrain?
Yes, we have another demo route just a 20 minute drive from our showroom. If you'd like to test a Cotic mountain bike on more challenging trails to show what it can do, we'll set you up on the bike in the showroom and you can take the bike in your car to ride that route. It has a mix of flow trails, technical rocky descents and challenging climbs. 8 miles and 1025ft of ascent (13km/312m).
What do I need to bring when I test ride a Cotic?
For all demos please bring your preferred pedals, appropriate riding kit for the conditions, a helmet and some photo ID and either a credit card or car key to leave with us.
