Expirience with the YT Capra Base AL

Ludwig Döhl The Capra is available in all imaginable wheel options. The Capra Base AL rolls on 27.5 tires and wants to rip it up on single trails. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with YT. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. YT knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 2699 Euro . We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
