if I'd have a top 5 Enduro it would be: (in no specific order) * Geometron G1 * Archibald AC1 * Banshee Titan * Pole Stamina 180 * and for the price the Privateer 161 has to be on the list.

You gave the Capra MX geometry data while talking about the full 29" version. The Capra 29 has a longer rear triangle and slightly different linkage which in combination with a bigger rear wheel gives it a longer reach and slightly steeper head tube angle.

That Ibis might be exactly what I’m looking for. I’m not after a 1-bike quiver, but I want something I can pedal uphill reasonably well, and the geo is in my personal sweet spot (too slack and I get a little wallowy.

I can speak for their carbon, I hit a stump ( pedal strike ) running down hill and it threw the back end around at least a foot n half, and I mean I was rolling. I took it to a different bike shop that I bought it from and told them what happened, they did a close inspection and said the bb shell was not damaged at all. This was on DV9 hard tail so the shell took all the pressure.
