Budget Enduro! - YT Capra Core 1 - Time Lapse Build and First Ride

Описание к видео Budget Enduro! - YT Capra Core 1 - Time Lapse Build and First Ride

I've been wanting a longer travel bike for gravity riding and chunkier trails for a while. I had a Santa Cruz Bronson a while back and have been missing that plush feeling. The YT Capra is a bike I've been looking at for a while and I don't think you can beat the core 1 for value. From unboxing until done took me 2 hours and I sped that up to only a few minutes. Then I took it for a ride on some local jump lines to test it out. I experimented with the chesty vs. my helmet mount. Let me know what you like better.

A few other notes after riding it:
1: I was afraid that the bike would not climb well, but it's really not that bad. I would not hesitate to take this to a place where you have to gain elevation manually.
2: I don't feel like the bike is too slack at all. The steering is quite responsive and doesn't have a ton of handlebar flop.
3: Tubeless valves are not included unless you order them. I had some laying around so it was no big deal for me. The water bottle and cage were included.
4: The suspension was super easy to set up. On more complex bikes that I have with high end suspension, getting the front and rear to feel equal is a challenge. Not the case with this build.
5: The bike weighs 38 lbs in size medium after converting to tubeless. You don't really feel that out on the trail, only when pushing up hills.
6: I'm using crank bros stamp 1 gen 2 pedals and they are way better than the gen 1s.
7: I keep saying plush because I'm used to hardtails and my 130mm travel Izzo. Overall, it was easy to dial the suspension in to make it feel like it hugs the ground. It has tons of grip.
8: For the price (Under $2500) this is a really great value. The upside of having lower spec build is that it's very inexpensive to replace parts if they break.
9: The DB8 brakes are decent. I have these on another bike and they are consistent in feel and power.
