Aggressive riding bias and versatile performance

The Capra was the bike that put YT on the map and it’s still the brand’s most important model.
BikeRadarVery few bikes in this test strike as excellent a balance between composure and agility as the YT Capra.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineTake the Capra to a bike park and it’s unbelievably fast over roots, big slabs, jumbly boulders or nasty spines of rock.

The Capra's back for another round, this time with mixed wheels and an aluminum frame.
Well rounded, especially considering amount of travel
Great value, and an even better one now that it's on sale
Frame is worthy of upgrading with nicer components as time goes on
Sizing could be tricky for some riders due to seat tube length
Issues with NX drivetrain

Fox Factory fork and shock are smooth operators
Great wheel and tyre combo
Easy-going nature makes the most out of nearly every trail
Dropper post doesn’t offer enough drop
Bottom bracket feels too high

The newest version of the Capra is an evolution of that original bike and has features and geometry that have evolved with the sport.

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.

See what it can do. We dare you.
The rougher the trail, the faster it goes -Allows for precise, creative riding in the rowdy sections -Understated looks -Respectable value
Relies on the lockout for sustained climbing -A little boring until things get real
