Expirience with the YT Capra CORE 1 MX

Ludwig Döhl Whether in the Downhill World Cup or the Enduro World Series. Mullet bikes are all the rage. With the new Capra in the MX version YT feirt the trend to the large 29er front and small 27.5 rear wheel full off. The asymetrically designete frame makes the Capra CORE 1 MX also an eye-catcher. YT is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The upright seating position gives the YT Capra CORE 1 MX a comfortable character. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the YT Enduro is probably not the right bike for you. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 16,6 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 2699 Euro . YT gives 5 years warranty on the bike.
