i own a kona cowan, its a great bike, no problems, i run SS, but its a great bike, i find it kinda hard to manual tho (probably just me lol), but yeah i was gunna get a jackal instead, but i would have had all super crappy parts on a nice frame, instead i got the cowan which had pretty good parts, but not as great of a frame, although someday im still gunna get a jackal

*edit- i also got my cowan on a 1 day special for $999 CAD, which was damn good deal, and they didnt have a built up jackal on sale*

cowan i've ridden both, sure the jackal is great but it can only rarely be bought as a full build, so you will need to kit it out, the cowan is ready to ride just after purchase and it has awsome spec, and the cowan is a full bike for the same price as the jackals frame.

cowan no contest Wink

I cannot believe people are saying cowan.
SC Jackal takes the lead.
