Archive: Escapade Gen4
Years of production: 2020-2022
Discontinued, superseded by Gen5. This page is kept as an archive record for owners and for anyone researching an older Cotic Escapade.
Escapade Gen4 carried the same geometry and overall specs as Gen3, with two real changes: the industry-standard 142x12 thru axle rear (matching the 12x100 front) replacing the previous 135mm QR, and a completely revised "Inside Out" cable routing system offering a clean look for 1x drivetrains, optional internal down tube routing for rear or front mech, clean external clamps for those who prefer it, and the option to route a dropper post remote up the seat tube. Built from custom butted Cotic Fe cromoly with the Ovalform top tube, paired with the Cotic RB5 full carbon fork (550g, 12x100 thru axle, flat mount brakes). Hand made in Taiwan.
Finishes: Slate Grey and Supernova Orange.
