The new YT Capra Core 1 is the direct-to-consumer brand\u2019s cheapest enduro bike, coming in at\u00a0 \u00a32,699 \/ $2,699 \/ \u20ac2,699 \/ AU$5,599 for a SRAM NX build.<\/p>\n

The Capra 2 NX has been upgraded with a SRAM GX groupset and is now priced at \u00a33,299 \/ $3,299 \/ \u20ac3,299 \/ AU$6,599.<\/p>\n

The new bikes, like the rest of the range, will be available in either an MX (YT lingo for a mullet<\/a> setup) or 29er<\/a> configuration.<\/p>\n

Both bikes will share the Capra Mk III<\/a>\u2019s aluminium frame. Higher-spec builds come with the option of a carbon frame.<\/p>\n

On paper, the Core 1 presents excellent value considering the addition of a RockShox ZEB<\/a> fork and Super Deluxe Select R shock.<\/p>\n

The Core 2 continues to use the Fox 38 Float Performance fork and Float X Performance shock.<\/p>\n

The new Core 1 is intended to be an inviting entry point for those wanting a serious enduro mountain bike<\/a>, with spec decisions that could make it a great choice for gnarly trails.<\/p>\n

Four-piston SRAM DB8 brakes should ensure confidence when trails get steep.<\/p>\n

SRAM\u2019s 12-speed NX Eagle<\/a> groupset also features an 11-50t cassette for climbing back up the hills.<\/p>\n
