The Capra Shred is a bike that’s easy to just jump on and ride and feels instantly at home being carved from turn-to-turn or launched skywards in the bikepark.

The light Capra eagerly pops into the air on small waves and generates lots of speed in berms.

The new Capra is a better bike that the outgoing model – better equipped, easier to demo and with increased support thanks to the YT Mill.

2022 YT CAPRA Core 4 review

Mar 2022

The distinguished YT CAPRA Core 4 tops the Core range. As such, it’s dripping with top-end kit to deliver an exciting and capable ride that’ll have bikes twice its price quaking in their boots. However, it doesn’t quite have the lengthy geo expected of an enduro bike. Best mountain bikes for under £3,000 - capable trail bikes that won't break the bank Privateer 161 review Big Read: Big mountain pairs racing with Enduro2 Les Arcs This iteration of the CAPRA has seen quite the change from its predecessors.

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.
