Thank you for this! Something about it was really wholesome and made me feel a lot better about the decision to buy it or a trail bike. Im getting the Capra!
That’s true you gota buy it learn from it before you change anything” I learned the hard way”I choose aluminum there’s no big difference in weights I feel safer in aluminum and every bike you get you just gota ride it and do whatever tweeks and dials you also gota feel a better difference for your own self for a better riding style and feel”don’t just upgrade if is not making any sense any difference for a better feel when riding”only the owner knows his bike💯
What an awesome commentary. It's way too easy to get caught up in the techno hype. If you aren't within 15% of a pro's time, work on yourself. So great to hear somebody speak the truth.
Watched this video two days before ordering my 2020 Capra. Got the bike...riding it, love it!😊 I installed my Pnw loam lever yesterday and moved the Capra lever over to my Marin since the lever on that bike was worn out. Added Raceface Chester pedals and trusty Womens specific saddle.
MTB Gringo.. Hi....the Loam Lever is really nice! So Easy to install, has many different configurations on how you can run it...mine is clamped to the bars and not brake lever. Its tight and machined so nice. My stock Capra lever worked, but had some play....I chose the PNW over the Wolf Tooth...they are both very good, but pricey.. I was only able to get it because Worldwide Cyclery price matched the Loam lever, and a little more percentage off another companies deal and helped me out. I got lucky 😌
AkiRIDE well I was pushing it for most of the way. That being said it climbs alright. If I was going to a trail with a lot of climbing I don’t think it would be a lot of fun. Thanks for the comment.
The fine tuning for the suspension isn't that hard, I just used the recommended settings by FOX that can be found online depending on your weight/the amount of PSI you are using, can feel a difference. :D
Sebastian S I did setup my suspension based on fox’s recommendations and its good.. good enough for basic riding. By fine tuning I mean the adding and subtracting of spacers and tinkering with pressure. What I was trying to say is I think the basic shock setup is good enough for most rides and you don’t need to stress out about it... like I was when I was in the buying process
@@mtbgringo755 Ahhh gotcha! Yea I doubt I will get spacers anytime soon, you gotta hit really big jumps in order to bottom out that fork. The default setup is definitely sufficient!
Hey I was thinking bout getting my first full sus bike and I wanna get 27.5 just cuz they more fun and my local trail has about 5 big climb sections otherwise it’s pretty flowy after with the up and downs so is the capra going to be bearable or should I go with the Jeffsy
im deciding between jeffsy and capra, do you think the different is huge if you go cross country? since my place is mostly that, but i take the my bike to the mountains alot since my familie lives near mountains, so im wondering what would be the best option/ and most fun option
That all depends on what type of riding you’re doing. It can squeak by as an all-around trail bike but you are giving up on some climbing. I suffer more on my climbs...it’s hard. So if you need an all around bike I’d probably get the jeffsy. What is great about this bike is that it is really forgiving. What I mean by that is if you are trying to progress in drops, jumps, and technical descending the geometry and suspension of the bike will cover up a lot of your mistakes. In that sense the bike will give you a lot confidence in those areas. Im a beginner in the area of enduro trails and this bike has allowed me to advance much quicker.
Gregd351 sweet. I’ve had my moments wondering if the Jeffrey would have been a better fit for me. Bother the jeffsy and Capra are super capable. Enjoy.
@@mtbgringo755 well i got the jeffsy in 27.5 because its super playful, and i use it as my trail bike. But i will honestly probably get a capra in 29 for a pure enduro machine
@@Runk3lsmcdougal hey man I just had a question for you. So I live in an area where there is a decent amount of climbing but I love how enduro bikes ride. So I was wondering if the Jeffrey rides like an enduro and what you think of the bike
@@mitchellhardeman1322 I live in ILLINOIS so no mountains, it's flat as hell. The jeffsy rides and climbs just like a trail bike, I can pedal in open on the dpx2 all day. Thing will climb great
I can’t give you any first hand experience only what I’ve heard. It has been said that the 29er suspension is tuned to be more progressive giving a firmer climbing platform making it a little bit better on the climbs. If that is true and how much it helps I don’t know. Thanks for the comment.
@@mtbgringo755 cool!!! Glad you are enjoying it. I gope to have mine for years. It stays in the house. Dont even have mine broken in yet. Gonna ride today. Thanks.
Nice to see a review from the normal guy. I'm about to jump into my first full suspension so I appreciate the info.
thanks Ray, my hope is that this channel can be videos of a normal guy trying to progress in Mtb.

thanks I appreciate the encouraging comment!
Such an authentic take! Great video man
Whoa, this video is super extra crispy HD, nice
Totally agree with you on just riding the bike as it comes for a while.

Awesome! I’m still loving the Capra. Every time I take it out it blows my mind. How do you like the loam lever?

Nice
Sees video title. Immediately watches. And subscribes.
Am strongly considering this..... The aluminum Shred 29er.
Must climb alright if you can talk the whole time while climbing 😃 great vid

Hi ! Great video ! Do you think the capra base 29 is a good bike for beginner ? Obrigado and have fun !

Does the 27 capra climb similar or is their a big difference in climbing

Does the bike feel heavy or is it pretty light
It’s not light. You will feel it on the uphills.
How about an update on your Capra?
Trail Lady MTB Still loving my Capra. I’ll post some more videos soon.
@@mtbgringo755 cool!!! Glad you are enjoying it. I gope to have mine for years. It stays in the house. Dont even have mine broken in yet. Gonna ride today. Thanks.
