YT launches new trail bullets made of light metal

YT has responded to the many requests for aluminum bikes with even higher quality components and coil variants! The gravity brand is once again living up to its roots and is releasing two enduro monsters with the Capra Shred and the Decoy Shred, which more than satisfy the craving for adrenaline with the latest suspension components from FOX.

"We are extremely pleased that we now have these two machines at the start! We are passionate gravity mountain bikers ourselves and can't wait to ride these bikes in the bike parks. After releasing limited aluminum versions of the Capra in the last two years, we felt it was time to add a high-performance aluminum version to our regular portfolio. We also realized that there are many people who would also like to see a coil shock on the Decoy. With the Capra Shred and Decoy Shred, you dominate on the trails," says Markus Flossmann, CEO of YT Industries.

Capra Shred - aluminum frame, FOX 38 & GX Eagle 52T

The YT Capra is an enduro bike with cult status that tames the toughest trails. With the Shred version, YT now offers an additional aluminum alternative as part of the YT Family. The frame design is designed for both 27.5-inch and 29-inch wheels and is available in sizes S-XXL. The unique geometry of the Capra guarantees efficient climbing capabilities despite sensational downhill qualities. The long reach and slack head angle serve the fun-oriented riding style, while the seat angle ensures a balanced riding position uphill. The Capra 29 is even more versatile thanks to the flip chip on the rear shock mount, which allows the steering and seat angle to be adjusted by 0.5° and the height of the bottom bracket. The newest member of the family boasts the new FOX 38 Float Performance fork and the new FOX Float DHX2 Performance Elite Coil shock with 180 mm and 170 mm travel respectively. The new SRAM GX Eagle 52T drivetrain gives the Capra Shred even better climbing characteristics and precise shifting. This means you have more energy left for the adrenaline kick on the downhill. The overall package is rounded off with the vario support, 'YT Postman', and a gravity-oriented E13 cockpit and an LG1 EN wheelset with a MAXXIS Assegai (EXO) tire at the front and Minion DHR II (EXO+) at the rear.

"The Capra and Decoy models are among our most exciting and popular bikes. Both models embody what YT is all about: gravity biking and good times! We wanted to give both bikes an even stronger gravity profile. So we gave the Capra and Decoy an extra dose of fun and even more shred vibes. These bikes now have even stronger gravity genes. If aggressive riding on highly technical trails and pushing your limits is your thing, then you want to go shredding. Go shred," says Chris Hilton, CTO of YT Industries.

Capra Shred - 'Full Send' with FOX 38 and new coil shock

The E-MTB portfolio of YT Industries is being expanded by another variant. The Decoy Shred is a hardcore enduro bike with a built-in shuttle and the hybrid frame - carbon front triangle, aluminum rear triangle - has already proven itself many times over. YT's award-winning E-MTB is equipped with high-performance components and the latest FOX suspension components in the 'Shred' version, so that the gravity genes of the bike are even more noticeable in every situation on the most technical trails. Whether you're tackling rough terrain uphill or downhill, this bike can handle it all and will put an adrenaline-charged grin on the face of any gravity mountain biker on any enduro ride. The Decoy Shred is available in sizes S-XXL. The Shimano Steps E8000 motor is powered by YT's own 540Wh battery. To match the Shimano motor, YT relies on the combination with the 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain, which shifts precisely even under load. The FOX 38 Float Performance E-Bike+ fork offers 170 mm of travel and the new FOX Float DHX2 Performance Elite Coil shock offers 165 mm of travel, so nothing stands in the way of a fun-filled ride. As with the Capra Shred, the all-round gravity package is rounded off with the dropper post, 'YT Postman', and a gravity-oriented E13 cockpit and an e*spec Plus wheelset with a MAXXIS Assegai (EXO) tire at the front and Minion DHR II (EXO+) at the rear.
