Our pick for Best eMTB of the Year: Cotic Rocket 🚀
In terms of what matters, the Cotic Rocket is a total winner. Great geometry – the best geometry from Cotic so far in my opinion. An impressively retained classic Cotic chassis feel. Super suspension. Good motor. Excellent range. Impressive overall weight for a capable full power eMTB (21.7kg for a larger size bike). Oh yes, it ain’t cheap. But that is literally the price you pay for getting things made in the UK. Regardless, the Cotic Rocket was easily the best eMTB of the past 12 months.

🎄MEGASACK DAY 15!🎄
It's here, the final prize of 2025's Megasack!

Today you can WIN an Invisiframe Global kit, courtesy of workwithstudios.

If you actually ride your bike (mud, grit, hedge clippings, “creative” lines…), your frame takes a beating. Invisiframe is the simple fix—a custom-cut, properly thought-through kit that protects your bike so you don’t have to worry.

Why bother?

🛡️ Shields your frame from chips, scuffs, and cable rub

✂️ Custom fit for real bikes—covers the zones that actually get trashed

👀 Virtually invisible once it’s on—does its job quietly

🔄 Works on new and “well-loved” bikes—hides trailwear and stops more damage

💸 Helps keep that resale value up

The final daily draw will be tonight, but you still have until Monday (22nd Dec) to enter ALL draws to win the MEGASACK! Mark will be picking the winner LIVE on Christmas Eve.

We're off to lie down and eat Quality Street now. Merry Christmas 🎅
