Very nice. Very Cotic.

Ebikes??? Oh no Cotic is dead.....

Certainly a big advantage the way you can swap the battery super quick, or take just the battery off to charge it inside with the bike left somewhere else.

Surely nobody will buy this I am afraid

that looks awful sorry

Please make it so it can run a bigger battery, the top one is not enough for many of us that like to do epics!

I actually prefer the look of the rocker link style cotic.

Will there be a new rocket that has the same design and geometry without the motor and battery?

I love the thinking but having ridden both fazua and Bosch systems many thousands of miles across the quantocks I can't help but feel it looks a little exposed to water and muck ingress. My kinesis rise pro needed extensive repair after about 1500 miles and I'm pretty sure I've just killed a Bosch gen 4 CX performance line after 4k miles. The real step that needs to be made is that of user servicability which is how we keep our other steeds in tip top condition.

What's the weight on one of them?

Buy British, buy Cotic. ;-)

Looking great. Good alternative to the ever growing 'integrated battery' only options from some manufacturers. For me, the batteries need to be quickly changeable and detachable. The ability to remove batteries and just bring the battery inside is a must - especially in the cold winter nights. Also makes lifting bike into the boot a wee bit more manageable. Nice one!

True

Need one

I heard a "Lekker man!" Who's the Saffa there?

Just no.

Should call it Thor 👍

Super interesting and good to see Cotic doing things their way!

Send some to New Zealand. Love it.

It looks like you could do with a trials ambassador. @trial.j.t

Genius on the battery swap out to different power . Great looking bike and well done to cy and the team .

This looks MEGA!!

Great skills. Making it look so easy.

It's just the local loop they said as we set off on the CC HQ group ride...

Cy, I’m super interested to hear your impressions of riding the Jeht in the Enduro race. Think you’ll do a video on that? I was emailing with Sam last week about your bikes and I’m on the verge of purchasing either a Jeht or RocketMax setup as a trail build. Take care

These bikes are like early nineties mountain bikes with drop bars.

I recently got back from a week in Morzine riding a Jeht 2 with almost an identical set up to your demo bike. It handled everything that the alps threw at it no problem. A great bike. I love it! Enjoy Ard Rock and good luck!

Love my jeht, its bloody fast and eats rocky descents. A bonus is , out on the trails it gets complimented alot too. People love the simplicity and sleekness of steel frames!

I'll be riding my Jeht on the Cotic HQ August ride - unless I sort the brakes out on the Soul.

Hi Cy, have you ever tried/thought about whether the Jeht could be reduced to 120/125 rear travel with a linkage/shock swap in the way that you used to be able to increase travel on a FlareMAX? Not that I mind owning both but it would free up space 😂

Cy, I'm riding a FlareMAX at ArdRock - will I be OK on it?😁

Still here

What length cranks are you running Cy?

Agreed

Love mine 👍

I don't see a lot of rallying but there is a fair amount of railing the bike.

What tyres/ sizes you running

That bke .....so tempting and as if the red one wasn't gorgeous enough what the hell do you think you're doing bringing out that new bronze baby. ❤️❤️❤️.

What was the route? I recognise bits of it.

My Reynolds 531 is a much better ride than a 90's Ali full sus mountain bike. Same wheels n tires, different ride. I'd love an 853. When considering weight you need to look at the overall system weight including the rider.

Great video and sums ups British riding beautifully.

Just been out the flare max tonight , great bike and ride and watching this just makes me smile 😊

Perfect 👌🏻

I love your bikes, I started mountain biking on a cotic soul and the playfulness of the bike lead me to ride bmx, I fully intend to build the cotic enduro bike of my dreams when I graduate college. You guys know how to make the best chromoly frames in the business. Keep it real, keep it steel.

Love it! Thanks for the in depth video. Love my FlareMax, in the interest of lightness and finesse for the majority of a race you can’t beat it. Mines on SID’s with Hunt Trail wheels and tubeless Conti Argotal for racing. But like you, I use Hunts XC race wheels and various lighter tyres for everything else. I’ve got the RockShox Delux out back and run quite a bit of damping. I prefer that feel personally, maybe a hangover from how I ran MX bikes. It’s under biked about 5% of the time, but for the most part it’s perfect. The combination of 853 and its geometry makes it feel way more capable than anything else I’ve ridden. Missed the nerding on tyre pressure tho, and whether you run inserts? I’ve killed two sets of Hunt wheel bearings, mainly the rear outer one. Ceramic bearing(s) next 👍.

Are you still developing an e-bike? I remember seeing a video with you and Guy Kes, but haven’t seen anything since.

Great video - thanks! I’m a on a C4 and a similar weight to you, also using the CC inline shock with similar rebound and compression settings, but according to my pump I need 260psi for 30% sag - seems a lot if you only need 220psi? Wondering if my pump gauge isn’t accurate. Absolutely loving the bike though!

I have the 26" version. Fun bike [:

Im interested in getting a MTB/Gravel crossover next year from you guys and saw you can use the configurator when you build it yourself. Any concerns about a Hardtail frame with suspension but slimmer tires between gravel and MTB and a 1x11 cassette with 10 teeth and in the front with min. 38 teeth for high speeds? Also with a flat bar cause I hate dropbars
