Just got a Capra Core 2, it arrives sometime next week. There's also pickle ball at my local bike park and I live in a village in Guatemala 🤯

Great review. For Mo, I feel like you focused a on the geometry specs, which is helpful for sure, but it would be nice to also get more of your observation on how it climbs, descends, how it feels in general. Great job!

3:12 Mo - "It passes the wheelie test" - That means it also gains + 10 speed
Also that was a pretty good wheelie I counted 9sec

Just ordered the jeffsy core 4 with 40% discount. Rly looking forward to bike this bike 😅

San Clemente yt demo day was one of your most classic videos for me. I watched it like 100 times 😂

I just ordered a Capra Uncaged 10.
I’m glad someone told me about their bikes running smaller. I ended up getting the next size up XL. Their xl specs were the same as my Large Transition Scout so that is a bit weird.
Did you end up sizing up?

Great job! Love watching your reviews.

Great video. I have both those bikes, 2024 Jeffsy amazing playful bike and great climber. That Capra I have in the exact MX mullet build ( bike park and shuttle only) too slack to climb well, although the 29er Capra does climb much better, I still only used that bike for OC steeps when not on the Decoy. And Mo, I had the IZZO for about 18 months and it was amazing, but I think were opposites in riding, I love jumping and chutes, the IZZO shines on climbs, speed and tech down country riding.

What’s your opinion of the direct to consumer companies? And so far, which is your favorite of the them? Looking at getting a full suspension mtb. Thanks

Very nice review. Thank you. You mentioned you are 6’2. And looks like the size of your ride is XL. Do you feel comfortable? I’m 6’2 too and about to order Jeffsey Core 1 and thinking if I should get L or XL

[itr]

awesome video guys! i have the older gen jeffsy, i love it for an all around bike. the only thing i dont like about yt is the california sales tax and shipping. both come out to around $280-$300 extra while most places offer free shipping no tax. thats what keeps me from getting another yt.

[simakunkela]

Hey, Im trying to decide which jeffsy should I pick, L or XL. Im 6’1 and you said youre 6’2, so I would like to know what size are u riding.

[chillsteplife]

Mo you should have included the Jeffsy in your trail bike shoot out. But thx for this mini review

[mountaingoat]

Love the Yellow!! i had a on one 456 steel HT in Bright Yellow years ago cracked the frame..

[JCaleb]

3 of your recent bikes are on my short list, but haven't been able to ride them all yet. I'm an XL too. How would you rank and/or compare the Ripmo vs Delano Peak vs Jeffsy? Does the Jeffsy feel bigger than Delano or about the same? A comparison video of the three would be perfect, especially on how they rode, your personal experience.

[philippelelong]

Interesting tht you felt XL was more on the smaller side. Multiple other tall testers, even up to 6'3, preferred the L frame for being more agile.

[laurieg]

Love you guys and love that you are testing a bunch of bikes this year. Just a suggestion- For the first test ride, use the bike as built by the factory. I am eager to see what you think of the Pivot Firebird with the Fox shock. (Seems like more of a fair test) Looking forward to all your future fun videos!

[ER-meii]

Core 2 Izzy or jeffsy for primarily Florida riding? Jeffsy is enduro but I’m trying to stay away from the nx transmission. I think the Izzy frame is better for Florida. Ugh.

[lefthorse]

Try Commencal TEMPO, if its possible an Öhlins edition ( i have the yellow one)

[mrvwbug]

If you want a more nimble big travel bike look at a Pivot Firebird and size down one frame size, though I suspect you've probably already ridden one. The Firebird is the best pedaling bike I've ever ridden, very efficient for its travel and it gets through pedally tech and tech climbs better than anything else I've tried. My only complaints were the vague steering feel, a trait it shares with the Ripmo (and you guys obviously know how the Ripmo rides). I ended up getting a RM Altitude over the Firebird last year mostly due to availability but also the Altitude when pointed downhill turns into an absolute weapon and still climbs well.
