Hard to say as my wife's core 1 is a medium, so too small for me at 6'2" to test. Plus she weighs less than me. But suspension wise I assume they are pretty equal, it's just entry level rockshox vs entry level fox (both super solid). Her bike despite having cheaper brakes stops crazy good, yt did a really good bleed on hers. You can't go wrong with either bike, with a good tune and properly sagged/ setup suspension you are good to shred. There are videos of people doing some serious features on even the core 1.
With Capri jumps better? 1 or 2
