I would really like to see a 130mm trail bike from YT. A frame styled like the Capra, room for at least the Jeffsy water bottle, 66 HTA/76 STA with a high/low flip chip, 130mm travel rear/150mm front, lightweight, and room for at least 2.6 tires.
Well I'm disappointed. I was hoping that they continued to use e.13 cassettes but guess not. Instead we get the boat anchor of NX eagle.
Agree. Problem is the general public sees 11-50 and the word "Eagle" and thinks its a good product, that thing is stupid heavy to the point it probably has a noticeable negative impact on rear suspension performance versus the e13... it's almost twice as heavy!
Curious what they do with the Jeffsy. As others have said, shorter seat tube, maybe 1 deg slacker HTA with a shorter offset fork in combination, metric/ISCG on the 29er and longer reach on 29er... would be surprised if they update the 27 version after just two years but you never know.

If they update the jeffsy line with the new colors, make the jeffsy look like the Capra and keep the price lower than the captain than I'm sold

Agree. I love some of the new paint schemes, I need there to be a CF model with GX or X01 eagle option, and either fox 36 or Lyric/Pike for fork. I’m happy with the current geo, doesn’t hold me back any. I’d like to see the seat tube mast gone. If they do that, my ‘17 goes up for sale most likely.
Yes...the 2019 colors are fantastic! I really like the two color options for some models. It's great they let you choose. I have to say the two tone blue is frickin awesome.
Interesting that there's only four Capra levels this year and some prices went up.
The component choices are very surprising also. The CF Pro has the Lyrik RC2 and Super Deluxe RC3. While the AL comp comes with a Fox 36 pe and Fox X2 shock. Which is a hell of a deal.
Some have Eagle parts, while keeping e*13 setups on others. SDG Tellis dropper just on the AL Base. The DT Swiss wheels are all 30mm now.
As mentioned above, I was hoping for a 120mm-130mm YT model too.
