Expirience with the YT Capra Pro AL

Ludwig Döhl The Capra is available in all imaginable wheel options. The Capra Pro AL rolls on 27.5 tires and wants to rip it up on single trails. With 15 kg weight for the complete bike, the YT Fully joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 4500 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When it comes to the seating position, YT chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail. YT gives 5 years warranty on the bike.
