Expirience with the YT Capra UNCAGED 12

Ludwig Döhl In the 29er version, the new Capra has minimally less travel in the rear than the Mullet Capras. But the 165 millimeters of travel, which gives the damper in conjunction with the four-link rear end is easily enough to rock the most extreme trails. The asymmetrically designed frame also makes the UNCAGED 12 an eye-catcher. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the YT Fully. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. A shout out to YT – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the YT UNCAGED 12 for on extremely technical trails a benchmark in the price range under 6000 Euro. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
