Sumarize

The YT Capra MX CORE 2 is a robust enduro bike for demanding descents and technical trails. With its hydro-formed aluminum frame, it offers exceptional durability and can withstand even the toughest conditions. The Progressive V4L suspension with 170 mm travel at the front and 165 mm at the rear absorbs hard impacts and enables a wild riding style, regardless of riding ability. On the descents, the bike impresses with efficient climbing ability without the need for a climb switch. The robust components such as the FOX 38 FLOAT PERFORMANCE fork, the FOX FLOAT X PERFORMANCE shock, SRAM CODE R brakes and the SRAM GX EAGLE drivetrain ensure reliable performance and minimize downtime for repairs. With DT SWISS E1900 wheels, the YT Capra MX CORE 2 is the perfect choice for riders who value a durable yet stylish enduro bike. The clean look of the aluminum frame makes it virtually indistinguishable from the carbon version.

The Capra Mk III Core 2 strikes an almost perfect price-to-performance ratio for the cash-conscious enduro rider

Pros
  1. supportive suspension
  2. Easy to set up
  3. intuitive ride feel and addictive cornering
Cons
  1. Geometry could be slacker, lower, and longer
  2. tyre casings thin for enduro use

YT's cheapest Capra gets a killer parts package and an alloy frame... can it match the stellar performance of the carbon models though?

Pros
  1. Great spec for the price, and the geometry is decent too. Easy to get set up on and the bike is well balanced and composed
Cons
  1. I'm missing the X2 shock from the Core 4 bike
