IT’S FAIR TO SAY THAT THE CAPRA UNCAGED 9 GIVES YOU MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS
YT has always exploited its small size and short production runs to respond to market trends and exploit leftfield supplier options – remember the original YT Capra with its BOS suspension? With global supply chains in turmoil, and hardcore consumers increasingly customising their bikes with boutique suspension parts, YT’s evolution of this concept – dubbed Uncaged – is more relevant than ever. It also fits the brand’s punk, anti-establishment image like a studded leather glove.
In the case of this MX Capra Uncaged 9, there’s something irresistible about the Öhlins suspension, Crankbrothers wheels, Maxxis tyres and Renthal bar and stem that appeals to the magpie in all of us. Who doesn’t want other riders rubber-necking your bike in the car park or on the trails? And pairing that yellow spring and gold anodised damper with a deep purple paintjob that sparkles
