YT Capra 27 CF Pro review - MBR

Sep 2019 · Mick Kirkman

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.

Highs
  • Low slung chassis with excellent suspension and parts

Lows
  • Not perfect out of the box

YT CAPRA 29 AL Comp in review

Jul 2019 · Christoph Bayer

ENDURO Review – One bike that had to be part of this group test was the YT CAPRA 29 AL Comp. But is it all good?

Highs
  • Confidence inspiring geometry

  • Good value for money

  • Plush suspension

Lows
  • The larger option isn't very agile

  • Climbing is only a means to an end

  • No bottle cage bosses

YT Capra 27 CF Pro first ride review

Oct 2018 · Ed Thomsett

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.. .

Review: YT Capra 29 CF Pro Race

Sep 2018 · Mike Kazimer

The Capra Pro Race is one of the longest travel 29ers in existence outside of the DH world.

Highs
  • Very manageable, especially considering the amount of travel

  • Never met a jump it didn't like

  • Excellent value

Lows
  • No room for a water bottle

  • Not super plush in rough terrain

  • Limited availability

2018 YT Capra first ride impressions

Feb 2018

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

Feb 2018

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.
