Less costly, but no less fun. The Cobra may be Olympia’s entry price point MTB, although no corners have been cut when it comes to design, quality and performance. Hand made using TIG welded & hydroformed 6061 heat-treated aluminium, the Cobra is light weight yet seriously tough and competent. 1 1’8” to 1 ½” Integrated tapered headset & internal hose and cable routing are very nice details that add an extra level of style and durability to an extremely well-rounded package.

2020 Sees the debut of Olympia’s new Cobra 29” MTB. Designed to offer serious cycling enthusuasts a high quality, high performance bicycle at an entry level price point. Just like the Drake, the Cobra features TIG welded 6061 hydroformed & heat-treated alloy tubes for light weight & maximum strength. In a day and age of mass production composite frames at questionably low prices, its refreshing to find a high-end, high-performance alloy model that proves the adage “its far better to invest in the best alloy chassis, than the least expensive carbon one”. Olympia are masters of hydroforming, a process where high-pressure fluid is forced through each tube, expanding the metal into moulds that control shape, diameter and wall-thickness. The Cobra features multiple hydroformed tubes, most notably the flared and ovalised top-tube & down-tube. Each Cobra frame starts with lengths of raw tubing, individually formed, cut, mitred, drilled, jigged, welded, aligned, sanded, primed, painted and polished by time served craftsmen at the top of their game. Only a lack of expensive mould tooling and costly materials separate the highest quality carbon from the highest quality alloy frames. Although Olympia have kept an eye on the Cobra end price, they have not skimped on performance or style enhancing features. 1 1’8” to 1 ½” Integrated tapered headset, internal hose and cable routing & and extra low standover height allowing a wider range of riders to fit the four available sizes than usual. Of course, exquisite handling and high speed off road ability are a given, when a frame is designed and produced by the oldest Italian maker of race winning MTB’s. The Cobra is available in four standard sizes (S / M / L / XL), and offered in a single graphic design available in three optional colour-ways. Read Less >>>
