Good review. I rode a friend's Capra for a while and really loved it. He had a DHX2 coil on it though so I didn't have any complaints about the rear suspension. I think a coil really suits this bike and makes it come alive.
Regarding the tires, I like the second generation E13 tires but agree they are slow rolling. To me they feel similar to the Assegai that everyone seems to love now, so if you're an Assegai fan these will be fine. If you have a bit of loam to ride they're awesome and crazy grippy (as stated in Cam's previous review), but I do like the 3rd generation more. The new 2019 versions still offer a ton of grip, but are more round and faster rolling for sure....
