Canyon Spectral 5.0 or YT Jeffsey Comp?

how do you like the Izzo compared to the Jeffsy both ascending/descending?

The Izzo feels like a rocket compared to the Jeffsy. The Jeffsy was more of a beast on the downs but that said I almost never used full travel. So far the Izzo hasn't held me back at all. I am sure when things get really rowdy the the Jeffsy is the better choice but for 95% of the riding I do the Izzo is perfect.

If I had a pile of extra cash laying around I'd probably snag a Capra to compliment the Izzo. The Jeffsy is already damn near an enduro bike.

N+1 is always the answer.
Only problem is... you are sitting there wasting time having to contemplate which bike to take and then after the ride, you kick yourself because you took the wrong bike 😀
