    Thinking about getting a Capra for my son – he’s 6′ (184cm) and still has a few cm to grow yet. Not sure whether to go for a medium or large. He likes to be very agile ton the bike and throws it around a fair bit. Not sure whether Capras come up small (like Canyon used to) or not. Any advice very welcome.

    One friend is 6′ and has a large, thinks it is just right, another is 5’10” tried the large, thought it was too big and now has a medium.

    I’m 6′ and the Large is fine for me when I tried one.
    Some people look at the geometry and complain they’re too short but I’ve found them alright.

    I’m just over 6′ and my lad’s medium feels stretched out compared to my old medium Heckler.
    Sat on a large and it felt like my DH bike.

    I got a large at 6ft . Medium is too small

    Same here. I’m 6 ft and have a large, it’s just right for me.

    6,2 here got an XL. I feel a large would have been too short for me. However I’ve only got about 10cm of seatpost I could lower

    I’m 6’2″ here and ride a large, I feel it’s fine for me. Even ridden 105km off road (London to Brighton) on it and no issues

    I’m just under 6ft and I ride a L which I reckon is almost perfect. If you think he might grow some more I wouldn’t go For an M. I’ve had mine nearly three months and I love it. Early days though ..

    I’m 5’11 and had a play on a large, it felt a good size for me, any smaller and it’d have felt like a bmx. Definitely NOT a medium, but maybe an XL if the L isnt big enough.
