The GOAT of the YT line-up is our enduro weapon, the trail slayer that leaves nothing but dust in its wake—the YT CAPRA. There are five CORE models in the YT CAPRA range, each with its own distinctive personality to suit your riding style.
The YT CAPRA Platform
In 2014, YT changed the landscape of MTB with the YT CAPRA MK1 — a heavy-hitting enduro bike capable of slaying treacherous terrain in its sleep. It rocked the world, offering modern angles and undeniable value that caught the eye of mountain bikers across the globe, and left other manufacturers scratching their heads over its drool-worthy component spec and rapid performance.
Now in its third iteration, the MK3 CAPRA is a refined enduro-sled that vies head-to-head with bikes costing well over twice its price, with its seek-and-enjoy attitude bringing the party wherever there is fun to be had.
With four models and two frame materials, the CAPRA spans a range of price points, enabling more riders than ever to get their enduro fix, regardless of their budget. Whichever you choose, know this; at every level, the CAPRA delivers supreme value for money, each spec level disrupting the status quo and delivering performance that punches well above its price tag.
Sitting atop the YT CAPRA CORE range is the CORE 5. Getting right to the point, the CORE 5 combines durability, precision, and flat-out performance to set the trails ablaze. Premium Ă–hlins suspension, ultra-modulus carbon fibre, SRAM X0 Transmission, and a choice of MX or 29″ wheels; the YT CAPRA CORE 5 has it all, so there’s no need to look further. This ride is ready to take on whatever you can throw at it – it’s time to prove your mettle.
The YT CAPRA CORE 4 hits hard and goes big in all the right areas. RockShox Ultimate suspension leads the charge, delivering endless tuning options and premium big-hit performance, and with wireless SRAM GX Transmission shifting, you can crank through the gears, even under power. Maxxis Double Down tires, Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels, and a Renthal cockpit build unbreakable trust, so if you’re looking to keep it reckless, CAPRA CORE 4 is your calling.
Killer spec, killer value – From flowing berms to untamed backcountry, this bike is in its element, its handling unmatched, and its appetite for speed… insatiable. It’s an extension of you, ready to go toe to toe with the burliest terrain on the planet. The YT CAPRA CORE 3 goes hard. Selected for maximum durability, the FOX Performance suspension offers a range of effective tuning options to ramp up control, even when you’re pushing it to the limit.
Whether cruising jump line laps with the crew or solo missions in the backcountry, the YT CAPRA CORE 2 is an elite tool for gravity-driven riding. The soul of this bike lies in its high-quality, hydro-formed aluminum frame, designed with bombproof durability in mind. The progressive V4L suspension shrugs off harsh bottom-outs and promotes wild riding, whatever your ability. Flip the gradient, and you’ll find efficient climbing performance without reaching for the climb-switch.
Robust components mean more time ripping turns and less on the tools, keeping you rolling stress-free – ride after ride. So, where’s the catch? There isn’t one – the aluminum frame retains the clean looks of its carbon counterparts, making it the perfect ride for heavy hitters with an eye for value.
When it comes to Good Times, long-travel bikes reign supreme. The YT CAPRA CORE 1 occupies that sweet spot between trail and downhill, offering a safety net of plush travel for ambitious sends and outright encouragement when you’re trying to break the sound barrier. From dusty summer laps to wet winter night rides, the CAPRA CORE 1 has your back – it’s everything your average enduro ripper needs and nothing they don’t.
