The capra is a different genre of bike compared to the Five/Rocket/Heckler.
At the start of the year I replaced my Mega TR with a Trance:
Demoed quite a few bikes (Five/Alpine, (old) Bronson/Nomad, Aeris, Trance/Reign, Enduro/Stumpjumper). I was between buying an enduro bike or a trail bike.
Ended up on the Trance, as for me it pedalled well and descended well, yes the reign was faster for steep downs, but for the majority of the riding I do, a trail bike is the better option.
I had a Five and tbh the 650b Five (not the latest one) didn’t feel any differnt from my old 26″ version. Was still loud, didn’t pedal that well. The alpine would be good for exactly its name describes. Both were heavy and (for something quite simple) expensive.
The old bronson felt too short in large but ok in XL, bb felt a bit high and felt perched on the top of the vike. Preferred the nomad of the two (again in xl).
The giants were the cheapest and didn’t give anything away on weight. They both felt right straight away. Was a close call between the two, ended up with the Trance. Covered 1600 miles on it this year, has been fault less.
