New Cotic – the Jeht

140mm 29er – nice

Added seatpost insertion is a good thing.

Shit name.

You know you want one Dazh.

Of course I do, having almost a full set I’ll need it to complete the collection. The name though, where the hell has that come from? Should have have called it a Flocket 🙂

I literally just got a FlareMax! I blame kelvin entirely.

It’s a palindrome.

It does look nice and my G2 FlareMAX is ace. I’d sort of decided I wanted a Starling providing I like the single pivot but now I’m not so sure.

Is it a replacement for the FlareMax, the Rocket or it’s own thing?

Flare -> Flare Max -> Jeht -> Rocket -> RocketMax ?

I blame kelvin entirely.

Not fair. There’s a lot of Richard in the look and name of this one… and Cy has been working for a long time on the new geometry and suspension layout for this one for a long long time… blame them both before me please.

It is its own thing. It doesn’t replace any of the other models. n+1

FlaremMax 120 29, RocketMax 160 29, daft name 140 29

I like it but I’d happily wait for the Taiwanese one. Sometimes I’ll pay to support UK manufacturing but sometimes I just can’t.

It’s a palindrome

Not only that, but it’s the same backwards as it is forwards.

Man, I’m loving the afterburner colour.
If only 29’ers weren’t dead 😒
Where’s the 650?

Anyone want to buy a Rocket 275?

Anyone want to buy a mark 1 flare max in grey?

This jehhht looks great.

They need to rename the Escapade as the Squib. Looks nice, wonder if this means the next RocketMax can go up in travel slightly.

It’s a palindrome.

So it’s a ‘J’? That’s just as bad.

What’s bigger than a Rocket, is Saturn V trademarked?

wonder if this means the next RocketMax can go up in travel slightly

That’s already happened! The new RocketMAX went from 150 to 160mm of rear travel.

water bottle. Two of them, just not there. I will say no more

water bottle. I will say no more

Who puts a water bottle on a trail bike?

So it’s a ‘J’?

The Singletrack news story gave us all a handy earworm to let us now how it’s really pronounced…

water bottle. I will say no more

looks like 2 – one under the downtube and under the top tube for those on a non-piggy back shock

Who puts a water bottle on a trail bike?

trail riding would seem like an application where one is in need of hydration

looks like 2

Depends on the size. And whether UK or Taiwan… IIRC. Some only take 1.

That looks really nice. Would be an ideal partner to my Soul for days out in the peaks.

Good point with the bottle.
My medium Rocket will not fit any kind of bottle seemingly.
It’s quite annoying.
Bites into my shred time innit.

Happy to take an XL in teal on long term test if that would be helpful?

Looks awesome. Kinda thinking about a new bike next year but are Cotic doing an Orange and making loads of bikes that seem to be very close in what they offer??

Yeah, they should go back to making the Soul and BFe, two totally different steel hardtails with the same geometry.

I don’t think the top tube mount is for a bottle cage. Even without a piggyback shock, I doubt a bottle would fit – I reckon that’s for tool storage.

The single bottle mount is under the downtube. Which is a shitty place to put it.

Looks good other than that. I’d have mine in Yeti blue.

Heresy! They were quite different. One was a bit spendy, the other was more spendy.

Larger sizes of the FlareMax fit a bottle there.

Very happy with my flare max gen 2 but if this had been available at the time I think i would of gone for it . I assume this means no more flare max132 , speaking of which has anyone modified their flare max to the 132 version ? any different ?

Think they revised out the 132 option with the latest Flaremax, just 125mm now IIRC.

This looks decent, would be an option if I needed a new all-rounder. Good to see some more realistic pricing in there.

Anyone want to buy a mark 1 flare max in grey?

Potentially. What size?

Not only that, but it’s the same backwards as it is forwards.

No it isn’t, there’s only a cassette on the rear… 🤪

Jeht: the sound a cat makes sicking up a fur ball…😺😹

Looks mint, but am I only the one who wishes they’d stuck with the old wraparound downtube decals? I like the new head tube badge, a lot more modern, but not a fan of the new downtube name at all.

but it’s the same backwards as it is forwards.

so its name is “the jeht”.

As in:
“is that the rocket?” “no, its the The Jeht”

How is it pronounced in Yorkshire?

I think it looks pretty good, and is certainly an option as a potential replacement for my Gen2 Rocket if i wanted to go full 29er (the RocketMax is too much for me now at 160mm travel). I agree with Chakaping on the pricing aswell, the Taiwan option brings it back down to sensible again.

The TT bottle mount should work with a L or XL for sure, it does on the Rocket anyway.

To be a palindrome the name would have to be theJeht or the J eht

How is it pronounced in Yorkshire?

ee-jeht! ee-jeht!

Which is the sound I make just before crashing.

I thought it was German for something.
