Amazing Cotic BFe Review

Cotic BFe, steel hardtail, mountain bike, steel is real, bikepacking

Logan at bikepacking.com has just published his long term review of our latest BFe hardtail, and it's a belter!

It's a wonderfully detailed review, so grab a brew and see what he has to say.

Cotic BFe Review

He has ridden everything from technical singletrack to doing a "bikefishing" trip loaded up with rods and sleeping kit and beer!

Nicest of all for us is that is really liked it, saying the "tubeset feels sublime" and has "Superb geometry".

Logan has form with our bikes. He liked the SolarisMAX he tested in 2020 so much he bought it! Whilst steel hardtails are clearly his jam, he has tested a bunch of other brands bikes that purport to do things similar to Cotic, and from what he has written here, he is a bigger fan of the way Cotic do it that the others.

I also love that he can see the value in our heritage, and how long we have been developing and refining our bikes. Mainly I am so happy that his defining conclusion here is that despite it's 'Burly Iron' tag, the ride feel of the BFe is what really impressed him. It's always about the ride feel with Cotic. Accept no substitutes!

If you like what you read, then we have stock of all sizes ready to go right now. And if the BFe is a little bit much bike for your riding needs, the Solaris will be perfect.

Frames can with with you within a couple of days. Bikes are about a week depending on spec.
