The frame is made of Aluminum Alloy which keeps the weight of the bike low. The frame geometry will be perfect for riders to have a comfortable ride. There is a single bottle holder mount on the bottom tube. There are mounts for mudguards at the rear. It will be able to handle bad city roads because of the front suspension and high volume 29inch tires. The suspension provides smooth riding experience and has a good pre-loading range. The grips were very comfortable to hold on to.

The weight and position on the bike give's a comfortable riding experience
Cosmic COSPRO M2 gets 2X8 gearing setup with mostly Shimano components. The 2-speed crank is from Optimus SIRIUS which is coupled with Shimano Tourney front derailleur and 8 speed cassette is coupled with Shimano Altus. The gearing combination is mostly suitable for trail riding. The high ratio going up till 3times and lowest going down till .5 times approx. if the riding is mainly for city road conditions it will be a difficult bike to ride for longer distances. The shifters for front derailleur felt harsh when shifting down and needed strong thumb strength to up shift. This gearing might help in cities where there are lots of hill type road terrain.

A suitable gearing setup for trail riding along with leisure riding
Cosmic COSPRO M2 has a simple yet appealing colour scheme. The all-metallic Gray with red and orange decals makes it an elegant looking bike. This is one of the 3 colour patterns available. The bike gets partial internal cable routing. The single cable routed blow the down tube seems to spoil the look of the bike. The bike stands tall and the 29inch tyres looks in proportion to the overall design. The top tube lowering at the seat tube makes it easier to ride out of the saddle on bad trails.

The bike looks professional and is a head turner
The Tektro Hydraulic disc brakes with 16mm rotor are exceptionally good. This setup on the bike that is priced at around 3K is unbelievable. The bite of the calipers brings the bike to an instant stop. Brakes are very responsive and as the levers are separate from the shifters it is easier to adjust according to our needs to get effective hold during downhill riding. The 6mm(approx.) handlebar width makes it easy to handle the bike on sketchy trails and bad roads. The head tube angle is steep enough to keep the bike super stable. A shorter stem could have been better.

The hydraulic brake from Tektro is one of the best in this price range
The bike gets alloy rims with disc brake hubs all in black with red decals. The tyres are 29x2.25 inches and had good grip on and off the road. The rolling resistance on the road was less and was easy to ride. The saddle was wide and had enough cushion to keep you comfortable.

29x2.25 nylon tyres from Compass give a comfortable riding experience
The bike is priced at ₹31,15 with a discount which is a steal for the ride quality it offers and specs it has. A very good entry level hardtail mountain bike. With few components upgrades it will be even better to ride.
