Expirience with the YT Capra 29 CORE 4

Ludwig Döhl In the 29er version, the new Capra has minimally less travel in the rear than the Mullet Capras. But the 165 millimeters of travel, which gives the damper in conjunction with the four-link rear end is easily enough to rock the most extreme trails. The asymmetrically designed frame also makes the Capra 29 CORE 4 an eye-catcher. The flat 64,2 degree head tube angle of the YT gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The upright seating position gives the YT Fully a comfortable character. On climbs, other bikes in the under 6000 Euro present a little better performance than the YT Capra 29 CORE 4. With 16,2 kg, the Capra 29 CORE 4 tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the YT scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
