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

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 YT Capra delivers an awesome ride at a solid price.
Versatile for a big 29er
Easy to get a long with
Well-balanced feel
Loves to jump
Great value for the money
Agile, quick steering
Silly-short dropper post
EXO tire casing is too light for this bike

After the carbon launch models, then the aluminium Uncaged versions, here is the more affordable alloy YT Capra Core 2.
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.

The new Capra is well spec'd for the price, and it turns out it's pretty quick, too.
Middle of the road geometry
Fast in the right hands
The best value bike on test
Provides a supportive and poppy feel
Middle of the road geometry
Long(ish) seat-tube combined with short dropper
Its suspension is not as supple as others

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.

Out of the box and straight to the bike park. Was the YT Capra 29” Core able to impress in its stock build and with its progressive rear suspension, or does it need some upgrades first?
Intuitive handling saves energy, both physically and mentally
Precise handling
Protective frame tape as standard
Weak tires
Poor stability at high speeds and over big jumps
Long seat tube limits freedom of movement
Progressive rear suspension complicates setup

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.
