Does anyone know where I might be able to try out a Cotic Hemlock? I’m intrigued by the idea of a bike that I can swap between long and short travel myself. I’ve heard lots about noticable flex at the rear but I’ve also seen people say they never notice it.

18bikes in hope

new ones are redesigned to stop the flex aren’t they?

New ones are loads stiffer than last years (which really weren’t that flexy really) and you’ll need either one of our dealers with a demo (18 Bikes in Hope, Cyclescene nr York, or Freedom Bikes down in Brighton) or we’ll be doing three of the National Demo Tour dates coming up; Aston Hill, Cannock and Glentress.

Thanks all. Going to try either Aston or Brighton. Now just need to justify the cost.

Swinnertons should have a medium new white with the new 2-step 09 Lyriks available to demo next week. Assuming they don’t sell it to me 😈

Ooo, forgot about Swinno’s. Thanks Dave. Swinnerton’s in Cannock will have one soon too 😉

Swinnertons in Stoke…. 😆

Its the nice white one, full SLX build as well….
