Although we originally conceived the Cascade to be a drop bar adventurer - which it's amazing at - the progressive Sureshot geometry also suits flat bar builds if you're looking for a more old school XC sensibility, or you simply don't like drop bars on your bikepacking rig.

Today we are splitting Cascade Flat Bar into it's own product. Stand alone product page, more flat bar vibes and flat bar builds. This will hopefully make the range a little easier to understand and a little easier for you to choose your perfect Cotic.

So what is the Cascade Flat Bar? It's the same great Cascade frameset as it's always been, but now with dedicated flat bar build kits. These give you the option for a more upright position and confidence inspiring feel if you spend more time offroad than on. Or it's a great options for using big sweep bars like Abby on her Africa bike (top pic). All the while it keeps the beautiful, clean silhouette and the simplicity of the rigid Alpaca fork, and the mega versatility of all the bosses and luggage features that make the Cascade such a great long distance rig.

Flat bar bikes start at £2,499 and our next drop of Cascades is due at the end of June. You can reserve yours now.
