Like all bikes of this price range also Cobia Trek is made of a hydroformed aluminum frame. The fork is a RockShox Recon Silver TK 29, while the bike is assembled with a mix of SRAM. SRAM is the triple crankset 44/33/22, Sram X5 are the commands, the rear and the front derailleur. Also the SRAM chain and sprocket set 11/36. The brakes are Hayes Dyno Comp. Wheels are assembled with Shimano hubs and rims Bontrager, Bontrager saddle ever, the attack, the handlebar and the seat post. The pedals as standard. The bike was assembled as a cost of about 999 Euro. A very good bike, complete and well assembled. The mix of components is not excessive, good comfort and performance.
