Rapide Tigre or Cotic BFeMAX?


WT

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys.

Just looking for some opinions. I am looking to build up a 29er hardcore hardtail for some bike park and enduro duties.

I am currently torn between the Rapide Tigre frame and the Cotic BFeMAX. BFeMAX is only available in August though and do cost quite a bit more. The geometry does look a bit nicer on the BFeMAX though.

Has anyone maybe built up a hardcore trail bike with the Tigre frame that can provide some feedback on the frame when ridden hard (Big jumps and drops).

I always try to support local where I can but I don't want to end up regretting not getting something nicer in a couple of months.

Would really appreciate any feedback.

I am glad I do not have to make that decision!

Whatever you do, I am sure you will be smiling ear to ear.

If the Cotic can fit your budget, and you are looking for a local brand ........... may I add a Mercer Frame into the mix?

I actually am currently speaking to Dave as well. Waiting for some geometry info from him as well. Just looks like it is going to be a bit out of my budget.

The Cotic is actually a stretch already hence the forum post????

Those Mercer bikes are absolutely stunning though!

Enjoy the process and best wishes ...... whatever you do, lots of pics of the build coming together is compulsory :)
