Chirpy enough review of the Solaris
[url= http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/review-cotic-solaris-12-46186 ]Here[/url] then. This correspond with people's real life experiences?
Aaargh - I better sell mine now :'(
That pretty much sums up the reason I bought one and bears out in real life. Curse WMTB - I was hoping to keep it a little bit quiet
I've built mine with 120 forks (Marzocchi 44 Micro Ti) and have ridden it for the last 3 weeks now and have to say that I flippin love it!
Having not ridden hardtails much recently I don't think the Solaris could have been more reassuring or flattering, it's just a joy to ride.
Thanks Cy!
Come test the Cotic solaris free at the Welsh Cotic Demo event this w.e - Cwm Rhaeadr nr Llandovery - book a slot to avoid disappointment www.bikebrechfa.co.uk perfect little trail to test them on ... the full suss Rockets are down just for the w.e. can't wait ... FREE beer if you demo 😉
WMTB reviews can and do get criticised on here for being inaccurate. I bet this one doesn't.
bugger!
just convinced myself that a Honzo (and not the Solaris) would be my next frame as well
Chunky- the Honzo was on my shortlist but at 7lb frame weight I wanted to loose a couple of lbs - I really wanted sliders too but sacrificed them for a more sorted frame overall.
PS Rode mine at Brechfa last weekend and it flew!
thing is, i was more after a 120mm HT - tried 80 & 100mm 29ers and a 120mm soul - just unsure about the solaris at 120mm thats putting me off
I've had mine now for a few months, and am yet to find a fault. I love it. Nice to see a positive review - if only to reassure me that it's more than the usual new bike love feeling.
