Cotic just unveiled its all-new BFe (£699 frame). This new model slims down Cotic’s BFe lineup, replacing both the BFeMAX and the BFe275…
The 2025 BFe features Cotic’s new Double Decker Dropout that allows you to choose from either a 29″ or 27.5″ rear wheel with no change in BB height or angles. This enables the rider to get the classic Cotic long rear centre with the 29er option or a more playful feel with a 10 mm shorter rear end with the 27.5″ option. The BFe will clear either a 29 x 2.6″ or 27.5 x 2.8″ in the rear.
Geometry
Cotic’s sizing comes in C1-C5, offering options for riders from 5’4″ all the way through 6’5″. The sagged angles displayed here are with a 150 mm travel fork.
