Eastern Bikes Cobra BMX Bike 20 Inch

Overview

The Eastern Bikes Cobra is a 20 inch freestyle BMX with a three-piece tubular chromoly crankset, sealed bearing hubs front and rear, and alloy rims wrapped in 20 x 2.25 freestyle tires, aimed at riders 13 and up.

Eastern Bikes has built BMX frames for more than two decades, and the Cobra's spec sheet, chromoly crank, sealed bearings, a 25t sprocket with 9 tooth driver, reads as a step above a generic all-purpose BMX and closer to a dedicated freestyle build. This listing is the Hot Blue colorway.

• 25t sprocket with 9 tooth driver
• Sealed bearing front and rear hubs
• 20 x 2.25 inch alloy-rimmed freestyle tires
• Three-piece chromoly crankset

Who it's for

Fits a teen or adult freestyle rider who wants BMX-specific components like a chromoly crank and sealed hubs rather than a budget all-purpose bike. Not intended for young children given the 13-and-up design target.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Sealed bearings in both hubs keep dirt and moisture out of the wheel spin, which matters more on a bike meant to take repeated impacts than it does on a casual cruiser. The three-piece chromoly crankset spreads stress across separate arms and spindle instead of one cast piece, and generally holds up better to the landings and stalls freestyle riding puts on a crank.
