Expirience with the YT Capra Base AL 29

Ludwig Döhl The Capra is available in all imaginable wheel options. The Capra Base AL 29 rolls on big 29ers and wants to keep the speed as high as possible on the single trail. When it comes down to handling, YT does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the YT Fully is ready for the majority of singletrails. The upright seating position gives the Capra Base AL 29 a comfortable character. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. With the YT Capra Base AL 29, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on extremely technical trails is better than the competitors in this price range. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
