A key part of YT’s recently announced 2017 line up is the latest iteration of its popular and highly successful Capra enduro bike. The same 650b chassis remains although fresh paint, new build options and the introduction of an XL carbon bike are new for 2017.
YT’s direct sales strategy has meant that it has offered blinding value in the past and it appears these models have missed out on the savage price hikes we’ve seen from some of the competition.
YT model overview
YT Capra AL
The entry-level Capra AL with its aluminium frame remains remarkably cheap, yet its build is still comparable to last year’s model and packs an e*thirteen restrained SRAM GX drivetrain, Rockshox Lyrik RC fork and Monarch Plus R rear shock, DT Swiss E1900 Spline wheelset and SRAM Guide R brakes.

2017 has seen YT drop the Reverb in favour of e*thirteen’s own dropper post. Its claimed weight is up by a smidge over last year’s bike too at 14.1kg (31.1lbs).
- £1,899 / €2,199 / $2,799
YT Capra AL Comp
Spend a fair chunk extra and you’ll get the AL Comp, which builds on the spec of the AL with an upgraded shock (Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3), brakes (SRAM Guide RS) and drivetrain (SRAM X1). The finishing kit also takes a step up to Race Face Atlas components.
This spec weighs in at a claimed 13.9kg (30.6lbs).
