3 Years Later | 2023 YT Capra My Only Bike?

Reunited with an old friend... the YT Capra. I bought a Capra back in 2020 and after 3 months I sold it. Three years later almost to the day I find myself aboard the newly designed Capra ... and I'm impressed. Why did I sell my Capra back in 2020? and what has changed?
Share your thoughts in the comments...curious if you've had a similar experience.

Ordered Capra in 2020 and received in 21. Love the bike but definitely wish I had the lockout. I'll probably drop the money on it once I'm back from deployment. It really feels like my Nomad but with taller wheels. I love it. Just picked up a hardtail here that I'll be sending home. Nice having options.

After watching you sell the Bronson I followed suit but sized down to a medium chameleon, I’m 180cm… I don’t understand how you can enjoy these crazy big bikes at your height. The best upgrade I’ve ever done was to get a smaller bike.

I just bought a YT Capra Core 3 Mk3 on their Canada Day Sale - can't wait for it to arrive... I typed the bike make/model into YouTube in hopes to find some good content about what to expect and was rewarded with this video. Great job man - I've subscribed. Can't wait to check out the rest of your content - looks like we may have a few things in common. Cheers Milton!

Another good bike is the Rocky Mountain altitude. I rode my buddies at sky park and I was impressed. Hood pedal efficiency and good on the downs.

Does not disappoint. And having had that 2020 Capra, like you, I absolutely agree with the comments on it. In fact I dont even feel they are close to the same going down hill. Just my opinion. They feel like two completely different rides. Great video

[HeidiFegles]

Dude this bike has way better suspension than your last so of course small bump compliance and every thing else will feel better.

Milton !!! Great video. Man you looked like you have been riding that bike for while! Looked super comfortable on it. I have the same Capra with the new Geo and love it. I feel great toggling off my Decoy and on to the Capra as well. I could see you with a Cap Daddy edition.

Great review and comparison video Milton. I just sold my 2020 Capra. I really enjoyed that bike but it did feel like it would sap my speed and momentum on certain trails. I’m curious to try a newer one some day but right now I’ve got my sights set on an eeb! Can’t wait to ride with you at ride and shine!

3/4 into watching the video to actually find out what the video is about. “They improved the bike”.

1:58 … I clean the branches at the end of the trail 😁

Milton you should test ride Intense bikes. They are in Temecula and make great bikes. Would make a great video.

Preference and trail choice. I have a 2021 Capra Base and with various upgrades it's a hefty 37 lbs. after adding a coil rear shock. Thing just smashes the steep trails in the Santa Cruz mountains. Would I take to Flow Trail at Demo Forrest in Soquel? Hell to the naw! I'll take my short travel 29 lb. trail bike for that. But after riding my buddy's Transition Spire 29'er, I am mulling a mullet set up.
BTW the Core 1 Capra's are $1, 999 right now!

We all look for that one do it all bike in the Trail bikes are rad .. more attentive and snappier than the plow bike !

[marksandoval]

I would love to try the new Ibis HD6. It's not excessively long, slack, squishy, and heavy for a 165/180mm long-travel bike. Could a bike with that much travel be the one bike that does it all?

[rodolforubio]

Hello, compared with the commencal SX which one descend better? Thanks and great review as always

[Gretsch]

I thought you went to a fluid SF2 ? Do you still use that bike?

[mtbeliever]

4:07. You passed a rattlesnake in bushes. Didn’t see but it rattled at you.

[norbertbaltyn]

Wchich one is faster? Meta v5 or capra? :)

[Tequila]

Is it a mullet? Also, the music in the end is too loud compared to your voice.

[MrSatchelpack]

All that creaking would drive me nuts. Also, YT's customer service is notorious for being utter garbage.
