Summary

It offers a mix of stability and agility, making it a favorite for rough terrain. However, some reviews note compromises in climbing efficiency and comfort, particularly with certain shock tunes and tire choices.

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

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?
Confidence inspiring geometry
Good value for money
Plush suspension
The larger option isn't very agile
Climbing is only a means to an end
No bottle cage bosses

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.
