The Cotic Escapade, the all-road gravel bike John reviewed last year, now comes in a UK853 model and is made in the UK.
This is the best Escapade Cotic has ever made. The bike is supple, tough, and light Reynolds 853 tubing carefully crafted into the perfect ‘life-bike.” The UK853 is handmade in the UK with a choice of a la carte’ colors, for rough roads, gravel smiles, and everything from the daily commute to your big adventures.

We’re not a fan of model years–especially when the updates are tiny geometry tweaks–but it’s nice to have a few new colors offered up each year by small brands. Cotic’s FlareMAX wowed John in his review and this week, the UK-made operation announced two new colors of this “Less is More” shred sled: Amethyst and Moonstone.
From snow to sand, wildflowers, and close encounters with a rattlesnake, John’s been putting the Cotic FlareMAX Gen5 through the wringer for his in-depth review on this made-in-the-UK short(er) travel, metal full-suspension bike. Read on for his full take on how less is more with the FlareMAX’s design below…
Cotic’s steel full-suspension bikes are something else, and next week, John will tell you why with his FlareMAX review, the little sibling to the RocketMAX. Let’s focus on this RocketMAX and its new color, Golfie Green. This stunner of a paint job is now available to order on RocketMAXs and joins Copper Orange in the color choices for the RocketMAX. These frames are made in the UK, in Scotland by the talented lads at Five Land Bikes, with every single Cotic bike built to order at our Chesterfield HQ. For sale as either frame only (from £2199 inc UK VAT) or a complete bike (from £3299 inc UK VAT) built to the spec of your choice; Your Bike Built for You, sold directly to customers worldwide. All the details on the RocketMAX can be found at Cotic.
