Knog Big Cobber Front
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The 470-lumen Knog Big Cobber Front light is the largest in the brand's range. It's deemed suitable for daytime use, and the side-on visibility earns praise. Modes are customizable in the app, including activating the handy "eye saver" mode. Two buyers report the light failing after only a short period, though these appear to be isolated cases. Overall, experts appreciate the handy features and shape, but its large, space-hogging size may deter some. The smaller Mid Cobber seems to be the more popular choice among cyclists.Expert Reviews
