Bikes & Frames
2017 YT Capra AL Comp
The Capra is a very downhill-oriented bike that offers a huge margin for error when things go awry. While it’s not a do-everything Trail bike, YT succeeded in making the Capra a bike that does exactly what a lot of riders want out of their long-travel rigs. And compared to just about every brand out there, the bang for the buck that YT offers is unbeatable.
2017 Yeti SB5
