Aug 2023 · Luke Marshall
A very capable bike that shines in a variety of situations, with supple and smoothly progressive suspension
Flawless spec
Easy to ride on all trails
Taller riders will benefit from a longer dropper post on the size large
Aggressive riders might prefer a tougher rear-tyre casing

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

EXO tire casing is too light for this bike

The YT Capra has long been one of the best enduro bikes on the market, as well as one of the most affordable. Does YT’s latest Uncaged 9 model live up to that enviable reputation? Need to know Capra Uncaged 9 model marries boutique Ohlins suspension with a workmanlike alloy frame MX wheels (29in front, 27.5in rear) brings additional butt clearance and a more dynamic ride Five frame sizes cover most rider heights Larger frames get longer chainstays for a more balanced weight distribution MX frame gets different seatstays, shock yoke and kinematics, with more progression and anti-squat YT has always exploited its small size and short production runs to respond to market trends and tap into leftfield supplier options – remember the original YT Capra with its BOS suspension? With global supply chains in turmoil, and hardcore consumers increasingly customising their bikes with boutique suspension parts, YT’s evolution of this concept – dubbed Uncaged – is more relevant than ever. It also fits the brand’s punk, anti-establishment image like a studded leather glove. In the case of this MX Capra Uncaged 9, there’s something irresistible about the Ohlins suspension, Crankbrothers wheels, Maxxis tyres and Renthal bar and stem that appeals to the magpie in all of us. Who doesn’t want other riders rubber-necking your bike in the car park or on the trails? And pairing that yellow spring and gold anodized damper with a deep purple paint job that sparkles and shimmers in the sunlight is a masterstroke. Colour me smitten. Frame While YT is bold as brass when it comes to an eclectic spec and aggressive price point, the Capra frame is actually quite conservative for a modern enduro bike. Consider the geometry; there’s an averagely slack (by current standards) 63.3º head angle in the low position (the flip chip makes so little difference that it’s barely worth the effort). And the sizing is similarly restrained; the size large runs a claimed 467mm reach, but my test bike only measured up at 460mm. Take account of the tall conical spacer and the effective reach is actually more like 450mm. So you’ll need to source a new top cap if you want to slam your stem and get anywhere near the claimed reach. Let’s compare those numbers to the recently released Canyon Torque CF8 mullet model. The equivalent size large Torque has a 62.9º head angle, a 489mm reach and 1,275mm wheelbase. To get a Capra with a similar reach you’ll need to move up to an XL frame size, but the seat tube on the YT also grows by 25mm, so you’ll need long legs to make that a viable option. YT also supplies the Capra with a (thankfully removable) rubber seal around the seat tube clamp, which limits seat post insertion by an extra 10mm. Not that one approach is definitively better than the other. In fact you could argue that Canyon’s three size range also paints you into a tight corner when it comes to finding …Continue reading »
Desirable spec, adjustable suspension, friendly geometry, good price
Tricky to get set-up, cable routing could be better, seat tube could be shorter to make it easier to size up, flip chip is pointless

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.
