COTIC CYCLES BFE275 is the tearaway of the COTIC CYCLES family and ready for riding in many different way.....if you need a unique bike it could be the one.... With a 100-120mm fork it is ready for aggressive acceleration on a 4X event. Need to go high in the moutain with a big massive start on the ice...set up a 160mm on the frame and you are ready for an event like the Megavalanche. But maybe at least you really prefer a local Enduro race with a 140/150mm fork...the BFE is ready !
The steel frame of the COTIC CYCLES BFE 275 is made of "CROMO FM" with a special heat treatment to increase stiffness of the front triangle, the down-tube is from Reynolds 853. The Tope tube is longer than usual, it request to set up the bike with a short stem, but it ll be fine with the personality of the bike. Toptube is also "Ovalform" to boost precision and maximise compliance. Head-tube is 44mm in order to mount a tapered fork. Seat Base are in "S-bend" to provide more room around the tire and a better mud-clearance. With a wishbone and a pretty rigid front triangle, let s say that the bike have quite a ....direct approach. It is a pretty fun bike that you can use on ...enduro, megavalanche, 4cross and more, you ll just need to adjust the front suspension.
The bike is available in frame-set or complete bike (contact COTIC for more details on complete bikes).
