Expirience with the YT Capra CORE 2 – GX 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 2 - GX MX also an eye-catcher. 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 upright seating position gives the Enduro of YT a comfortable character. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 16,3 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail. The guarantee of 5 years proves that YT puts a lot of trust in its products.
