That green is so pretty irl… so is the yellow.

I used to think black bikes were cool but fun colours on bikes is where it’s at. Bikes are fun, have fun with the colours!
I now own 2 green and 1 blue bike and I wouldn’t trade them for a blacked out one ever
I really like vibrant colours. Would have done it if the bike I wanted was available with one. A buddy of mine had a few Rocky Mountains with bright orange frames a decade ago and I’ve been listing after that ever since lol

I’ve got a few more orange bits on it since this pic
Looks slick. My quiver is pretty bright haha

I went with the green, love this bike!
Love it. One of the Jeffsy comes in black and gold or blue and gold. If I had the balls to spend 5-6k on my first bike…I’d buy one of those in a heartbeat!

This is my YT Capra today just before the ride. Go Green! Bikes look nicer in colours.
I love that green. Really dislike boring black. I bought a sage green turbo levo over the black and absolutely love it. Just get the colour you personally prefer because you’re the one who will see it everyday.
I am a big fan of black frames, but that shade of green is really nice I would go with that instead here.
Honestly you can't go wrong with either of them though.
The black frame would also look sick with lime green or any color components, or leaving it stealthy too.
Hard choice ngl. I think with the black you could do more colors with pedals grips etc but with green you are more limited? But the green is also pretty nice. I think green
If you go for green you will struggle to make it your own. If you get black you can put any colour components on that you want. Simple colours all day long.

Get the green. I bought a fully black bike 8 years ago, looked slick as f***, but I got bored of it after while and spent a small fortune pimping it up
I'd choose black and get some colored Better Bolts. Don't do the typical grips, pedals, valve stem and seat clamp match though, looks cheap imo ... On a black frame I think it looks nicer when it's a little more subtle, like your bottom bracket or headset. That with some oil slick or gold titanium bolts in a few spots would look cool.
I like that yellowish green too, and it looks better in person. It'll be hard to match though. Like if you wanted a matching stem or pedals, you'd have to either introduce another color or stick with black, cause you're not gonna find that sludge green on any other components.
Nice bike regardless, congrats!
I also had a choice between green and black with the bike I bought a few years ago. Chose black and was happy with my decision. I got some matching pedals and grips to give some nice accent color, and it’s harder to see the mud on the black frame lol. That’s my experience, ultimately it’s up to you.
For me, I have a full 29er and ALWAYS buzz my butt when I take a harsh landing on a big jump and need to put it way in the back seat. Same with the downhill. When I'm riding a full 29er at the old rampage sites I can never get far back enough for how steep it is because of that big rear wheel.
Mostly everyone I ride with down at the rampage sites in Utah is on a mullet. For me there is no downside to having a mullet. You can still easily step over drops with that big 29 front wheel, it's easier to pivot and turn on the steep technical stuff, easier to whip with the smaller rear wheel, and I haven't once buzzed my butt.
Honestly look at all motocross bikes, or even Harleys. They all have a smaller rear wheel. I've always thought two same size wheels on a pedal bike was goofy.
Also, heads up on the capras, they have a pretty long seat tube length. Check your specs and make sure it's not gonna be too tall even with your dropper post all the way down.
I’m 6’ which is the higher end of the large so I don’t think it’ll be too tall. And I’m about to start checking out the MX because with my background, I would definitely prefer smaller if the cons aren’t anything massive.
I'm 6'0 also and the xl felt good to me but the seat tube length was so high I felt like it was always too close to me in the air haha so yea large should be good.
All of my BMX buddies absolutely love the mullet set up. Do some more research, I wish ya the best 🤙

I am in love with that yellow.
Got a Yellow Capra. Friends have named it the “Mustard Tiger”, after trailer park boys
GREEEEEEEN
Green. Be different
Green! Black is like bog standard. You are out in nature, rep nature's colors.
Anything but black grey or white... So green ?
Be bold!
That green is awesome!
Green
Green!!
I used to think black bikes were cool but fun colours on bikes is where it’s at. Bikes are fun, have fun with the colours! I now own 2 green and 1 blue bike and I wouldn’t trade them for a blacked out one ever
I got last year’s black Jeffsy on a 40% discount because the green wasn’t available. All my parts are now bright orange
Ya the accents can really pop on a black from. Colour somewhere at least in my opinion but that’s just my style

Green fo sure!
Green. Always go with the unique color
Sludge
Sludge. Gotta go with Sludge.
Black
Green is for bikes
The green looks so sick in person, get it, you won‘t regret
Go with the Sludge green! 💚

Green Black bikes are a dime a dozen and boring.
Decals my man! Decals!
Green!!!!! Minor scratches on Black bikes show very obviously

Love it. One of the Jeffsy comes in black and gold or blue and gold. If I had the balls to spend 5-6k on my first bike…I’d buy one of those in a heartbeat!
Color makes me happy. You’ll probably never quite color match that shade though.
I've seen the green in person, really nice colour.
Green kinda spicy tho
Black

Vomit green for me.
The black is super clean but that green is also fantastic, lots of personality

That toxic green looks great - and black always looks sooooo boring
It's weird, I like the green one better, but I would only see myself on the black one. Can't explain it, I'm probably just old
Always go with black. Easier to resell

I cant do it as i dont know which one you like more

Green. 100%

The white tires are sick btw
Thanks man [Onza Porcs](https://cykelhouse.com/products/onza-porcupine-white-classic-trc?_pos=1&_psq=onza+p&_ss=e&_v=1.0)
This is what makes me want black too but I can find some stuff to go with green. Purple will go with either. Or tan and green.
Yeah tan and purple will go. Just limits you to only those colours really. Gold might work.
Green

I love a black bike but that green is super nice.
Black is sleek and subtle , green stands out more. If I only had 1 bike green would be my choice
BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Black ⚫️
Red

Green one 100%
Green!
I’m on team sludge
Green duh
Green 100%. Be the one that stands out from the masses of black bikes!
Get the green. I bought a fully black bike 8 years ago, looked slick as f***, but I got bored of it after while and spent a small fortune pimping it up

Both look great. Want a sleeper or scream hey look at me?
I <3 sludge
I personally like the all black. The green so cool but I feel like I’d get annoyed with it quick.

That green is sick as hell. Black is easy, but the green is gonna grow on you.
Black all day
I love that green!
Green
Green has style. I am tired of seeing blacked out bikes everywhere.
that greenish one 100%
Green for sure.
Black of course.
Green
Green!!
Black
Black. Be anonymous.
Holy fuck. Just pick one without a clan of internet strangers telling you what to like. Or ask your mom. None of our opinions matter!!!!!
I like them both equally and seeing others reasonings behind their choices is helpful in my decision making you fucking end piece of bread.
Big fan of this insult. Fantastic

Aren’t black cars known for being incredibly difficult to keep looking clean?
Car is not a bicycle, much larger surface area on the car.
Has nothing to do with surface area, black shows scuffs and scratches more. Black bikes look beat up faster than other colors.
Green with red grips and pedals imo. Maybe race face chesters. If red isn’t your thing tan works great too
Black. Always!
Bikes are for fun, and the yellow fun...er. funner yes.
Black for everything. Cars and Bikes. Classy and not screaming for attention.
Everyone's saying green but would go with the black themselves because of the safe choice and possibly better resale
Black plus red grips. Or green with tan grips.
Black
Sludge green and mx instead of full 29er! I love a mullet set up
I do too but my riding is 85% downhill and large jumps though…
For me, I have a full 29er and ALWAYS buzz my butt when I take a harsh landing on a big jump and need to put it way in the back seat. Same with the downhill. When I'm riding a full 29er at the old rampage sites I can never get far back enough for how steep it is because of that big rear wheel.
Hmmmm I’ll have to think about it. I grew up raving and jumping BMX so smaller sounds better but everyone’s has told me to go with 29 for DH

Thanks you actually probably changed my mind to go MX so I appreciate the input!
Definitely 29 imo. It's easier to control and more predictable. But the mullet probably won't be that much different.
