Sam and Kelvin from Cotic pitched up with a van full of lovely bikes in a very wet FoD today. Pics first
Going to be a wet one!

Big chubby tyres work well on wet roots

I tested a Flare Max (27.5 chubby) in a M and a L. I loved the M but not the L (I’m 5ft 11 and in a perfect world Cotic would make an 18.5). – angles sorted, super comfy, insane grip even with pretty wet conditions, super stable in the corners and the little air I get. Super poppy bike. Reminds me of the 26 inch rocket demo I had but it’s a bit longer in the TT which works for gibbon-dwarf here.
Steve loved the non chubby one and was going pretty large. Another mate was sold on the large chubby. I know Cy of old and he’s a) a great rider but more importantly b) a bloody good bike designer.
I think the non chubby flare is faster. But I’m not that bothered about that. I’n going to have a flare max in whatever colour that blue is.
I think it’s pretty cool that Cotic (Sam is the demo man) will just pitch up at a location, sort you out a bike, be brilliantly helpful on setup, etc all with no cost or commitment. Yeah I’m a cotic Fanboy but even so…. if you get the chance to demo a Cotic, I’d definitely recommend it.
