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.

Does it matter that the YT Industries Capra 29 CF Pro Race hasn't racked up Enduro titles like the YT Tues downhill bike? We don't think so.

In the space of a few years, YT has been able to gain a great popularity not only with very aggressive marketing campaigns, but also well thought out and aesthetically appealing bikes at extremely competitive prices. Opening the gates to this new approach in a certain sense was the Capra, an enduro model initially released in a 27.5″ format and now also available with 29″ wheels. YT set us up with the larger diameter wheels in the CF Pro spec, the intermediate level one among the three offered with a carbon frame. On the contrary, there are two levels for the aluminum version, which at the chassis level differs only

Not super plush in rough terrain
Limited availability

One of the most versatile long-travel 29ers we’ve ever seen, and at by far the best value. Modern climbing geometry, poppy suspension, and the definition of long, low, and slack. You just need to be a smooth pedaler and carry your water on your back.

YT doesn’t make it easy for its customers: which model do you choose? CAPRA or JEFFSY? 29″ or 27.5″? And once you’ve made those decisions, you can usually also choose between two frame sizes thanks to short seat tubes. With the YT CAPRA 29 CF PRO, we found our dream bike – and we’re sure […]
