While some might still be recovering from New Year’s Blues, YT has already shifted into the next gear. The gravity experts from Forchheim turn it up a notch and release their 2016 bikes today. Along with new graphics, the 2016 bikes are also equipped with brand new suspension parts. In addition to the proven RockShox suspension, FOX forks and shocks are now on board for this year as well.For 2016, the top models of the enduro and downhill range are equipped with FOX suspension parts. The extensive configuration options in terms of rebound and compression are going to be appealing for racers and pro-riders alike. In addition, the Pro versions of the bikes are equipped with full-on racing parts, which leave no wish unfulfilled. In addition to the specification updates, the bikes also receive a completely fresh look. The CAPRA and the TUES are going to blast through the woods with a hot new look, which is characterized by a straightforward appearance and new color-options. All in all, YT’s 2016 range is extremely versatile: from high-end bikes for professionals and racers and comp-level bikes for the middle segment, all the way to entry-level bikes for young talents on a budget. All of the above can be found on a brand new, easy-to-use, and thoroughly re-designed YT website.
CAPRA CFThe carbon version of the enduro bike offers three different options: CAPRA CF Pro Race, CAPRA CF Pro, and CAPRA CF Comp. Both Pro models are equipped with a FOX 36 Float Factory fork and a FOX Float X2 Factory shock, that offer plenty of settings for suspension-savvy racers and trail-surfers. The CAPRA CF Pro adds even more suspension-travel to your ride: with a full 180mm up front, with 170mm out back the CAPRA CF Pro is definitely ready for rough terrain and trips to the bike park. The name of the top model, CAPRA CF Pro Race already reveals its character: made for racing without compromises. The bike is equipped with top-notch components which are extremely tough and light. Some other highlights of the bike, beside the FOX 36 fork and the Float X2 shock, are the DT Swiss carbon wheelset, the Renthal carbon bars, as well as the super-crisp SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes. The CAPRA CF Comp does not need to hide behind the Pro versions: the combination of the RockShox Lyrik RCT3 and the RockShox Monarch Plus RC3 lets you easily handle chunk, roots, and drops. 1x11 is standard on all three CAPRA CF models.
CAPRA CF Pro RaceCAPRA CF ProCAPRA CF CompTUESImproving the TUES was quite a difficult task. After all, it has grown up quite a bit and has become a sophisticated downhill bike, full of character. It has proven that it can easily handle the monster-sized jumps at the FEST series and the massive abuse inflicted at Rampage. For 2016 the TUES CF Pro comes equipped with new suspension components. The FOX 40 Float Factory fork and the FOX Float X2 Factory shock are a killer team, which in combination with tough parts makes the TUES CF Pro a perfect companion for your next race. Carbon wheels, carbon cranks, and carbon handlebars keep the weight low and the speed at a maximum. The TUES CF Comp is rigged with the dream combo of the RockShox Boxxer Team and the RockShox Vivid R2C. The DT Swiss wheels plus the full Renthal cockpit smoothen out this rad package, which is suitable for almost every rider - the TUES CF Comp is easy to handle but still fully suitable for racing. For young talents on a tighter budget, YT offers the TUES AL, which is a well-equipped door opener for those looking to get into the business of downhill.

YT?
TREK?
CUBE?
COMMENCAL? etc
Winner gets nothing lol
what else should he do than posting motorbike stuff when he is not yet allowed to post any photos with him on a cube?
He already rode for Trek! He was racing for Trek before Specialized. Plus Trek has the Athertons.
Who else checks pinkbike twice as often now because you can't wait till he announces?
@RedBurn mtb wouldn't suffer much. its the dentists who chase trends that keep the industry alive i'm afraid.
News flash Gwinn misses half of 2016 season after having to send his frame back to Germany and wait 2months for a replacement ;D

Best bike I've ever had, including my demo...
Surely they must have a mid travel bike in the pipeline, 180mm seems to much for what the vast majority of these bikes will be used for.
A dirtjumper, and a FR/DH bike, anything more is unnecessary!
Canyon hopefully they stay true to there price model.
@chrisingrassia: the workd is not restricted to the US, though it's obviously a large market. For the rest, se above.
No I didn't try yet Fox 2016, but read the best about them. Clearly on my short list in case I'd build a new bike this year, especially a 29er. But no tool-free axel on some fork models really bothers me.
Lame
Pedaling a 170mm sofa around a trail centre was a joke (which seems to be the natural habitat for Capra's in the UK).
Except they don't. The dozen+ people I ride and race with say otherwise, with race results to prove it
Maybe your previous bikes were even worse than the YT hence why you think its great.
"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means"
It's a 170mm bike weighing less than 30lbs. Your Ghost ASX. Not that's a proper tank.
I don't own, nor have I owned a Capra. I have ridden them. Have you?
You're the very definition of a keyboard expert. I always have a chuckle when I see you dishing out advice, which is almost universally negative. Do you ride anywhere apart from Pollok and Cathkin?
I'm not a fan of them, i no of 4 bikes with problems, warranty and customer service is shit and took 3 months to deliver each bike!! they have since sold them on after a season and bought bikes where shops or bike parks can undertake problems or service.
Sure theres people without problems but like with everything ...

With YT being in Europe only initially, having them specced with BOS kinda worked. But with them now expanding globally it would only make more sense to use a brand(s) that is also supported globally.

We have great relationships with shops Nationwide and locally. We support shops, community and shoveling.
We are lifers. We eat, sleep and breath Mountain Biking- this is just one of the many efforts we have, and will continue to contribute to this bitchin sport.
Cheers
I'm the same height as you & mine felt tiny. Thankfully after 3 cracking, they gave me my money back & I bought a grown up sized bike that actually fitted me
Yeah, that's weird. My wife says I'm all torso with shortish legs, too. I used to race DH on mediums, I like a squirrelly bike, so maybe I'm stuck in the past. When I jump it, it feels like I'm flying a B-52 rather than a F-16. Maybe it's the big wheels. Just another perspective.....
