Archive: Escapade Gen2
Years of production: 2016-2018
Discontinued, superseded by Gen3. This page is kept as an archive record for owners and for anyone researching an older Cotic Escapade.
Escapade Gen2 moved to vertical dropouts (replacing the original's horizontal track ends) for easier wheel removal, dropped the bottom bracket 10mm to -70mm for improved stability, reworked stack heights on the smaller sizes for a lower front end, and added a new 52cm (XS) size for riders below 5ft 7in. Built from custom butted Cotic Fe cromoly with the Ovalform top tube, paired with the Cotic RB3 cromoly fork (9mm thru axle, disc only, up to 700x47c or 650x50 tyres).
