Expirience with the YT Capra MX CORE 4

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 4 also an eye-catcher. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Enduro von YT. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. On climbs, other bikes in the under 6000 Euro present a little better performance than the YT Capra MX CORE 4. With a total weight of 16,2 kg, the Capra MX CORE 4 is one of the heavier Enduro that you get for under under 6000 Euro. Considering that in the range under 6000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 5 years proves that YT puts a lot of trust in its products.
