Expirience with the YT Capra MX Uncaged 9

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 Uncaged 9 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. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the YT Capra Uncaged 9. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 16,1 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty YT sets the bar high!
