If the YT Capra Core 3 had amazed for its excellent quality/price ratio despite the carbon frame, here comes the flagship (top of the range) for YT regarding enduro. From the robust Maxxis Double Down tires to the proven SRAM X0 drivetrain to the Öhlins suspension.
VERSION 29 AND MULLET
Available in dedicated MX/29″ frame configurations and in a range of five sizes, the Capra Core 5 comes in a liquid metal color with high modulus carbon fiber construction. A TM6000 water bottle is accompanied by a Crankbrothers SOS Tube Stash, an integrated system that includes everything needed to remedy mechanical problems/punctures. The super-proven V4L kinematics provide 165mm of travel, while in the MX (mullet) model it jumps to 170mm. Size-specific chainstays ensure balance regardless of rider height.
