Expirience with the YT Capra Shred 29

Ludwig Döhl The Capra is available in all imaginable wheel options. The Capra Shred 29 rolls on big 29ers and wants to keep the speed as high as possible on the single trail. Thanks to a moderate 65 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. All in all, in the on extremely technical trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. The guarantee of 5 years proves that YT is behind its products.
