YT Industries Capra 29 CF Pro Race - MBR

Oct 2019 · Alan Muldoon

Does it matter that the YT Industries Capra 29 CF Pro Race hasn't racked up Enduro titles like the YT Tues downhill bike? We don't think so.

YT CAPRA 29 AL Comp in review

Jul 2019 · Christoph Bayer

ENDURO Review – One bike that had to be part of this group test was the YT CAPRA 29 AL Comp. But is it all good?

Highs
  • Confidence inspiring geometry

  • Good value for money

  • Plush suspension

Lows
  • The larger option isn't very agile

  • Climbing is only a means to an end

  • No bottle cage bosses

Review: YT Capra 29 CF Pro Race

Sep 2018 · Mike Kazimer

The Capra Pro Race is one of the longest travel 29ers in existence outside of the DH world.

Highs
  • Very manageable, especially considering the amount of travel

  • Never met a jump it didn't like

  • Excellent value

Lows
  • No room for a water bottle

  • Not super plush in rough terrain

  • Limited availability

2018 YT Capra first ride impressions

Feb 2018

If the top spec’d Capra was priced at $10,400, we believe they’d still sell. But at $5200 it's an amazing deal. - Mtbr.com

The new Capra is now available in both 27.5 and 29-inch versions. A few other things changed too, but it is still an incredible value.

[First Ride] New 2018 YT Capra 29" & 27.5"

Feb 2018 · Hector Saura

Last month, YT Industries published a documentary video that told the story of the brand, accompanied by its new bicycle line for 2018. Among them, one was missing, the Capra. Soon people began to ask themselves where they were. Since YT didn’t show off an update, some people wondered if the Capra was not going to be in the new range of models this year. Well, everything was part of YT’s the marketing plan, and today they officially present one of their most famous bicycles, which helped them to settle and establish themselves in the mountain bike industry, the beloved Capra. I will mainly talk about the CF PRO
