MTB U I’m in a similar situation to you, thinking of transitioning from my 32.8 lb Specialized Stumpjumper Evo to this beautiful bike. I think even though this bike has more travel it will climb better because it has a steeper seat angle and head tube angle. It’s also almost 3lbs lighter 😅 I think I’m going to go with the size large b/c I’m 5’8” and will definitely be growing more. It might not be quite as stable on straight fast downhills as my Stumpjumper, but I might be able to actually get around some of the tight berms at my local trails
@@MTBUtah Went out of stock then suddenly came back for a few hours but I was lucky to order one! Cant wait! I was about to get the Yeti SB165 when I thought I'm not gonna be able to get a YT.
@@stonksrgud7645 yes. I actually upgraded to Pro Race 27. I ordered in July 25, I got it on August 19. Never had a chance to ride the trails yet. I'm out of town next week and hoping I'll get a chance to finally try it.
For me there is too much talk, americans do love to hear themselves talk though, and at a sound level which is not very pleasant. Maybe the mic needs to be moved or there is some echoes.
You are definitely close to either range. One thing I did was compare all of the specs online of the Capra sizes to my previous frame size. This should give you a good idea of the relative size compared to your Trek. If the size is to similar to your Trek go with the Large Capra. Hope that helps. They also have a two week no dirt testing return policy.
The difference between the Pro and Elite is simply that the Elite has way better components like a fox 38 on the front. At 5’10 a large seems like a good fit.
I’m 5’8” and looking to get 27.5 capra. Im smack dab in the middle of M or L. What size do you think I should get? I currently have a Giant Stance 1 29er medium.
That's a toughy. One thing I did was compare all of the specs online of the Capra sizes to my previous frame size. This should give you a good idea of the relative size compared to your Giant Stance. If the size is to similar to your Stance go with the Medium Capra. Hope that helps. They also have a two week no dirt testing return policy.
MTB U Yeah I forget which were kind of the same but it some geometry specs weren’t too far off for both M or L. It was either reach was the same as Medium or the top tube was the same so on and so fourth. I emailed YT hopefully they have an idea of what size is best for me. Thanks man!
How do you like it, looking at getting it used now for my go to all around bike bike park and trail, was gonna go prorace but i feel maybe the pro will be enough, is it poppy, can you hit all drops ad jumps and rolls with it
I really enjoy it. On the downs and chunk it’s awesome. I also enjoy the feel on the drops that I’ve done. When I am jumping on a flowy downhill it’s great, but it might not be poppy enough for some bike parks.
Heeey, congrats on your new bike! Just ordered mine, but in black! I am 187cm (6’1”) , and I also ordered XL size according to YT chart - I fit right in the middle of the XL size ( 183-193cm). Do you think it’s the right size and not the XXL ( starting from 192 cm / 6’4”)? Thanks!
29' is a lot difference in the corners. Try to ride faster or do some tricks, or jump some gap jumps. Have 29' bike and thinking to switch to the 27,5 for more playfull and fun riding.
Nadav Gil it’s hard to say but I could see how a coil could make a difference. I’m loving the Capra 29 but if you are looking for more playful 27.5 might be your best bet. I haven’t ridden a Clash, so I’m not sure how it compares.
I get it. I was so torn between the two. If you love to mosh on the downs, go with the Capra. If you enjoy the trails all around both up and down, go with the Jeffsy. Honestly you can’t lose either way.
@@MTBUtah jeffsy it is! I do mix of stuff but I have to pedal alot of uphill to get to the downhill part. I also just cycle around my town so I guess I wont need that 170mm of travel then. I just need to wait until they are back in stock..
Yeah man, sounds like the Jeffsy would be a great fit. There are days where I would enjoy having one for sure. Hopefully they will get some in stock soon!!

Great Video, love the video in video action. Great lighting, and sound.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
My 2020 Capra is coming this Thursday and I couldn't be more pumped...been waiting for like 2 months! Great vid!
Sweet dude, welcome to the YT fam! Thanks👍🏼
How do you like it? Can it climb?
Nice new setup! glad you are enjoying your new YT
Thanks man!
This video is so well put together with good audio, video, and great info. Thanks so much!
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Yeah man, if you lock out the shocks on the ups, it climbs nice! And going down over the chunk this thing flies!!
good video man great quality keep it up and you’ll be at 100k subs plus in no time
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Great ride! Subscribed.
Thank dude!
Nice one. I'm looking for the 27.5 Capra Pro myself. Congrats on the new bike!
Sweet dude, let me know how it rides!

@@jinda8897 nice do you have it? what are your experiences, i am thinking of buying one as well

@@jinda8897 nice! and you live in America? (just to know for the delivery times) Anyway have fun on your first ride whenever that is!
Great video! Thanks man!
Thank you!
Hi, Can you give your first ride impression on the RS lyric select? Looking for reviews on this fork or comparison to fox fork. Thanks!
It’s been great. I was a little skeptical at first myself but it rides nice. Not too much sag and not too stiff. Feels just right.
@@MTBUtah thanks
Hey those frame cable protectors that go in the frame and stop the cable from making noise have they been any trouble because they look kinda iffy
This video is really high quality so why do you have only 100 subs? o.o
Thanks, I appreciate it! I’m still fairly new to UA-cam. My hope is to create something of value for others and maybe in that people will catch on🤙🏼
@@MTBUtah I believe in your success!
For me there is too much talk, americans do love to hear themselves talk though, and at a sound level which is not very pleasant. Maybe the mic needs to be moved or there is some echoes.
You should do a follow up video on how you like it after a few months.
Great idea, thanks man!
Hardlick! Took a bad spill on that one this year
Yep there are a few spots that will get you haha. I’ve taken a few spills on it as well.
Nice powerfull bike💪
Definitely 🤙
I’m 5 “11- 5 “11 and a half idk if I should go large or XL on Capra. I have an XL trek and it feels a bit long to control around corners.

This should give you a good idea of the relative size compared to your Trek. If the size is to similar to your Trek go with the Large Capra. Hope that helps.

What’s the difference between the Pro and the Elite? I’m 5’10 in a half. Large?

I'm 5'9", long limbs short torso. I got the medium and I feel like large could be so big for me.

You think you will keep it or upgrade
I’m going to keep it for a few years for sure. But I’m hoping to put a fox 38 on the front soon!
@@MTBUtah y upgrade to 38, im 180lbs and am wondering if i need it
Heeey, congrats on your new bike! Just ordered mine, but in black! I am 187cm (6’1”) , and I also ordered XL size according to YT chart - I fit right in the middle of the XL size ( 183-193cm).

Awesome man! At 6’1 the XL should fit great. Let me know how it rides once it comes in!!
i’m 13, but i’m 6’1 and 175, what size should i get?
According to YT at 6’1 your best bet is an XL. I’m 6’ 180 and XL is a great fit.
@@MTBUtah ok thanks, btw awesome review! +1 sub
29' is a lot difference in the corners. Try to ride faster or do some tricks, or jump some gap jumps. Have 29' bike and thinking to switch to the 27,5 for more playfull and fun riding.
Yeah I’ve been able to take it out a few times and can tell a difference. The 29’ rolls over chunk easier and the 27.5’ is more playful for sure.
Nadav Gil it’s hard to say but I could see how a coil could make a difference. I’m loving the Capra 29 but if you are looking for more playful 27.5 might be your best bet. I haven’t ridden a Clash, so I’m not sure how it compares.
I am super torn between the Jeffsy and the Capra😬
I get it. I was so torn between the two. If you love to mosh on the downs, go with the Capra. If you enjoy the trails all around both up and down, go with the Jeffsy. Honestly you can’t lose either way.
@@MTBUtah jeffsy it is! I do mix of stuff but I have to pedal alot of uphill to get to the downhill part. I also just cycle around my town so I guess I wont need that 170mm of travel then. I just need to wait until they are back in stock..
Yeah man, sounds like the Jeffsy would be a great fit. There are days where I would enjoy having one for sure. Hopefully they will get some in stock soon!!
@@MTBUtah I might just wait until the 2021 models come out and buy a jeffsy when they come out 😂
That’s honestly not a bad idea with winter coming!

Haha true. I only had footage of the DH part of the trail you have to hike up😂
it’s because your suspension is to soft.
Are you referring to needing more speed to clear stuff?
