Mountain Biking - Tassajara vs. cobia

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I have the opportunity to pay the same $ for either the fisher tass or cobia. I've never ridden a 29" before. I won't be able to test ride either. I'm skinny 6'4", and ride in Phoenix on gravel/sand/rock ledges in the Mountain Preserves and Mcdowell Mountains, and in the summer I go north and bike the woods of Wisconsin. I don't do drops and only occasionally make it up to the slick rock of Moab. Thanks for your help, I've learned a lot by reading the board.
I personally like the 29er better.. I bought an Xcal the other day... simply a joy to ride... Components on the Cobia need upgrading a little.. both derailers could use improving, but I would ride the heck out of it stock until you have to make an upgrade.... but besides that it b/n the 2 I would choose the Cobia.
The Tass is nice but simply nothing stands out to me on it... at least with the Cobia.. it has something that stands out... big a$$ tires!

I have ordered a Cobia as my new racing bike this year, its still not here after 3 weeks :mad:
but it is worth it and I would go for a Cobia.
Good luck on your new Bike :D
