Summary
The YT Industries Capra is a highly versatile enduro bike that excels in downhill performance while maintaining respectable climbing capabilities. Its geometry and suspension setup are praised for being well-balanced and confidence-inspiring in rough terrain. The bike offers great value for money, with high-quality components and a full carbon frame in many builds. However, some reviews note issues with suspension tuning and pedal strikes, as well as the lack of water bottle mounts.

This YT Capra 27 CF Pro version is entirely carbon (there’s no alloy rockers or chainstays as before) to save grams and refine the look.
Low slung chassis with excellent suspension and parts
Not perfect out of the box

I was glad of the shock’s two-position ‘climb switch’, because the Capra’s downhill leanings don’t make it the speediest ascender and the suspension bobs somewhat until you activate the pedalling platform.. .

The Capra Pro Race is one of the longest travel 29ers in existence outside of the DH world.
Very manageable, especially considering the amount of travel
Never met a jump it didn't like
Excellent value
No room for a water bottle
Not super plush in rough terrain
Limited availability

If the top spec’d Capra was priced at $10,400, we believe they’d still sell. But at $5200 it's an amazing deal. - Mtbr.com

The new Capra is now available in both 27.5 and 29-inch versions. A few other things changed too, but it is still an incredible value.

After testing both versions we are ready to give you […]
