Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

YT Capra 29 Core 4: first ride review - MBR

Sep 2021 · Jamie Darlow

YT Capra 29 Core 4 is 165mm enduro bike with 170mm fork, slack geometry, and bottle-ready full carbon frame. And there's somewhere to stash a water bottle.

Highs
  • Improved suspension characteristics for downhill, and better pedalling position for uphill. The bike feels more comfortable, planted and also faster than the old 29in bike. The water bottle is a nice bonus.

Lows
  • The price has crept up £1,150.

YT Capra Shred 27.5 review

Apr 2021 · Robin Weaver

Could be a bit roomier and the seat angle could be steeper, but still incredibly capable and masses of fun

Highs
  • Low-slung, very planted suspension

  • Reassuringly rock-solid when the terrain gets demanding

  • Not the flashiest kit for the cash but everything works well

Lows
  • Seat angle could do with being steeper

  • A touch more reach wouldn’t go amiss

2020 YT CAPRA Elite 29 on test – Out of the box, onto the racetrack!

Oct 2020 · Christoph Bayer

The YT CAPRA has been on the market for several years but the bike is far from outdated, as our test proves. The new flagship Elite model has almost everything a racer needs. How will it fare on our racetrack?

Highs
  • Balanced, confident handling

  • Plush, defined suspension

  • Almost race-ready at a fair price

Lows
  • No bottle cage bosses

  • Weak tires and short dropper post

  • Sluggish on the climbs and when accelerating
