Started off on a Trek 4500, then needed something to take me even further, and it did indeed. I feel the bumps a little more,but maybe thats just me. Softer tires might help. The brakes work well, but I get alot of squealing from the pads rubbing. Taking a closer look I see the inner pad always angled and rubs against the rotor slightly. It took some fine tuneing, but have reduced the amounts of noise. Other than that, its awsome. Everyone wants to know about it. Have a great sense of pride just having here in my living room, let alone on the trail. I’ll take it downtown here in San Antonio, hit up some stairs- several flights, go on some tight trails, and just started doin a little jump’n and huck’n on it. A little though. Not for severe drops however, or huge air. but I really can’t say, just never have, seems like alot more bike going up, therefore alot more bike might come down on you. Another added feature are the clipless pedals mine came with. Can’t ride any other way. It was between the Cobia (29″) or the Trek 6500,6700(26″). Don’t regret it at all. Word of caution, I drive a 4×4 Xtd bed F250, just fits in the bed length wise, anyone with a short bed, car or SUV might have a more difficult time hauling this one around. Not that its not possible or worth it otherwise. Just take off both wheels and it’ll slide in your backseat. oh yeah, the saddle is a little dissapointing. Would replace it, but thats about it. Get it, Ride it, and Love it! Love my Cobia. Started off on a Trek 4500, then needed something to take me even further, and it did indeed. I feel the bumps a little more,but maybe thats just me.
