Expirience with the YT Capra MX Launch Edition

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 Launch Edition also an eye-catcher. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 14,5 kg of the YT Enduro counts towards the lighter Enduro that you get for under under 8000 Euro. 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 relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. With the YT Fully, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on extremely technical trails is better than the competitors in this price range. YT gives 5 years warranty on the bike.
