Based on 100mm ampthill.
I'm pretty certain it says on the Cotic site that Cy runs 100mm forks on his Soul.
Have you tried calling all the shops that sell Cotics for an orange one
Cy runs 100mm forks most of the time on his Soul, although he has had 140mm Thors on there quite a bit for Peak District stuff I think.
Angles shown on site are based on 100mm forks, and more precisely :
[i][b]"Most 100mm forks are between 475 and 480mm these days,
and because everything's got so linear in the air springs, I've not
used more than 25mm sag for years, which gives around
450mm a-c and 70/73."[/b][/i] - from Cy
Would it be useful to have diagrams and angles on the site for typical 120mm and 140mm fork setups (plus 160mm for the BFe)?
While it might arguably make some sense to look at angles on an un-sagged full sus bike, as it's going to compress at both ends, I feel it's not very useful with hardtails.
At your weight, I would go for the Soul not the BeFe. I'm 13 stone and found the BeFe a bit harsh for all days rides (a really great bike otherwise tho)
Thanks for the replies. It is all quite confusing. That makes the Cotic abit slacker than the Genesis Altitude which has the same angles, but based on a 120mm fork 25% sagged.
(but not by much Cotic 75mm from fully compressed, Altitude 90mm from fully compressed)
