Ragley and Cotic are my friends' bikes, I own the Shan. I rode the Cotic a couple of times, it has a negligibly steeper head angle (by about half a degree) and is longer in size L, but equally fun and really rips in rocky stuff, maybe even better than Shan. It may have something to do with the better fork and more powerful brakes.
The Ragley is too small for me to ride, but the owner rips on it.

 Nice, I`ve seen a few Cotic`s around but never a Shan. Hopefully over the summer i can get a new hardtail built up but I just have to decide on the frame first.
