| Pros | This bike is awesome. It handles all terrain with relative ease. No worrying about what line to take, juts point and go! The components could use some upgrades, but once done the bike is amazing. Get used to being the slowest person on flats and uphills as the big wheels make it tough to get going. But on downhills you find yourself leading the pack or crawling up your buddies backs. | | Cons | Some cheaper components, tough hill climbs. | | Verdict | Buy it with no reservations. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | This is the bike. When it comes down to getting over a big rock or a urban obstacle the cobia can do it. With its amazing 29 feel it doesnt get better. If you want a bike for the money this is it. | | Cons | I have no objections. i love it. | | Verdict | NO verdict. This is 100 percent positive review.This is the bike.

| Pros | The 29er feel! It takes a while to get used to sitting taller due to the 700c wheels and not even worrying about your line. Tires seem to roll over anything. | | Cons | Front derailleur only has 1/2-3/4 inch of clearence front back tire, constantly gets bogged down with mud. The cable routing is a little odd, frame scratched from contact with cables. I know, a mountain bike will have battle scars, but not right out of the box! Since it's a longer frame/wheel patch, you're in for a treat on tight switch-backs, get used to going very slow. Tire grip is marginal on anything but hard-pack. The Shimano pedals get clogged with debris; don't shed mud, and are a literal pain to get out of on anything but the loosest setting. | | Verdict | I fell in love with this bike in the first 5 feet I rode it. For the price, components seemed a bit on the cheap side. I do some city riding, so fitting the existing rims with 700X37c cross tires worked great. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
