It offers a mix of precision handling and intuitive ride quality, though some models may lack stability at high speeds or on big jumps.

This is not just a new YT Capra. This is an answer to the question of what the next wave of bike updates is going to look like.
BetaThe 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.
BikeRadarThe light Capra eagerly pops into the air on small waves and generates lots of speed in berms.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThe new Capra is a better bike that the outgoing model – better equipped, easier to demo and with increased support thanks to the YT Mill.

The YT Capra in either wheel configuration are excellent options in the enduro market, subtly different in feel and will... Read the Review.

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.

Forget the big-budget movie launches featuring Hollywood stars! What we want to know is does the 2022 YT Capra Core 4 29 live up to the hype?

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.
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.
The price has crept up £1,150.

The new YT Capra is more than just a geometry update. It's new carbon, mixed wheel sizes, and a pre-order system so you can get in line.

Apart from the launch edition which is only available in the MX, the bike is available in the same build kits as the 29"..
Apr 2021 · Robin Weaver
Could be a bit roomier and the seat angle could be steeper, but still incredibly capable and masses of fun
Low-slung, very planted suspension
Reassuringly rock-solid when the terrain gets demanding
Not the flashiest kit for the cash but everything works well
Seat angle could do with being steeper
A touch more reach wouldn’t go amiss
