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.

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

[Tested] YT Capra 29 CF Pro

Dec 2018 · Mauro Franzi

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

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

Tested: YT Capra 29 CF Pro | $4,300

Aug 2018

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.

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
