Summary
The YT Industries Capra is a highly capable enduro bike, praised for its aggressive geometry, plush suspension, and exceptional downhill performance. 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.

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.

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

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

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

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
