Expirience with the YT Capra MX CORE 3

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 MX CORE 3 also an eye-catcher. Thanks to a moderate 64 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the YT Fully. All in all, in the on extremely technical trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty YT sets the bar high!
