Hi guys! I have just ordered my Capra Comp 2. I just thought it would be good to have a thread where capra owners can share photos, make suggestions/ recommendations, share concerns or faults, ask questions and chat about the capra!

Happy riding! Smile

They sure look tasty!
Wish I could fully justify owning one. ;(

I am an owner...

I just haven't got it yet, the fact that the money is out of my account is making the wait agonising Blank Stare

I have a norco aurum which I love. I started out doin xc when I was about 4 wit my dad on natural stuff and old school trail centres but I haven't had a bike capable of going up a hill (excluding road bikes) since I was about 11 so I'm very fortunate to be getting the capra as my first all mountain bike.

I was looking at a few 2013 bikes that are on offer now but after realising how much I have upgraded on my aurum I decided it would be a good idea to spend a bit extra for the capra which I won't want to change anything on.

I have a 2012 Norco Sight which is heavily upgraded I recently put a full xx1 grouspet on it, which is a brilliant bike i've just recently been doing a bit more downhill oriented stuff and the 140mm travel just isn't enough.

So when i get the Capra i will most likely put the xx1 on it and sell the racface/x01 drivetrain.

But the majority of the time i ride trail centres and natural singletrack trails, i want a do it all bike and from what i've read the Capra is that bike, the spec for the money is insanely good.

I was looking at upgrading the suspension to a pike and monarch combo but for the amount of money that i was going to spend and the fact that they don't do the pikes in 140mm it made more sense to get the Capra.

Sweet! Ye I was in the same situation with suspension. I was looking at a zesty 314 but thought after I have put a pike on I will be spending as much as the capra anyway and even then it would only be 150mm/140mm with xc wheels and long stem and narrow bar.

It just baffles me that the bottom range capra is equal to a mid to high end enduro bike from most other brands for the price of the frame only from a different company!

Yeah exactly it is insane when you look at the price of a SC Nomad frame only £2700, how can they justify the frame being pretty much the same cost at the comp 2.
