So lucky that you have bike park in your country!! Nice videos bro..I see you are very happy with the shred..the only fear that I have is the uphill with that bike..but I see your other video and you are satisfied with the uphill right??sorry for my low level English🙃 Greeting from Greece bro!
Thank you. I am happy with the way this bike climbs and that is based on the type of riding I tend to do. Could it climb better! Yes but that may be at the expense of how well it descends and I would not want that. I feel fortunate to have access to great riding trails and parks. Your comment reminds me of that. PS - never a need to apologize for not being fluent in a second (or third or fourth?) language. If you had not mentioned it, I would not have noticed at all. 😎
@@coachrz7919 thanks my friend..I have a little channel too with the trails I go here in Greece.if you want to see what trails I ride I will enjoy to subscribe..I hope soon my next videos be with the yt shred..thanks again.
thx again for an honest weekend warrior video on one of the hottest bikes out there. I am trying to figure out what to buy, so your videos are dang helpful. one question I couldn't find an answer to, how much different is it to a downhill bike in the descents. did you ever ride a real downhill bike to compare? with the 38 I don't think there will be to much of a gap to the dh bike. I search for maximum bikepark fun, playride it.
You are most welcome. I am really happy to hear the vids are helpful. Ok, full disclosure on the comparison to a DH bike: The last DH specific bike I have ridden was my Cortina DH-Extreme 8 race bike and that was at Big Bear circa 2000. Look that bike up on CZcams - it was great for its time. That said, the Capra Shred feels just as capable at the Park (with Jumps and high speed strait always) and my local trails (which include tons of rock gardens). Without comparing the actual data, I’d say the head angle and wheelbase are similar between the two bikes. Suspension travel is not too much different either. Again, that was 20 years ago so I can assume that the current DH bikes are worlds ahead of what I was riding back in the day. So, here is my take: if you’re looking for a bike that has the stability for high-speed and jumps at a bike park, the Capra Shred is fantastic for that. The benefit I see in having this bike versus a DH bike is that I can pedal up my favorite trails as well. I also wanted the best of both worlds and that is why I selected this bike. From my point of view, this bike is the perfect blend of DH capabilities, Climbing capabilities, and overall fun riding. I hope this helps.
It took a couple of weeks but that’s not a very fair comparison for the current order status. I will tell you that the YT Team did a great job of Letting me know as soon as it had arrived at their distribution center in Southern California.
Do You think you can climb 2400 feets (740 meters) with this bike or I'll better take something else? I've seen all of your nice videos and so I'm getting more interested in this bike. Greetings from Italy
Hello. The bike can climb that elevation. Whether it climbs the way you want it to is a matter of preference. Will it climb like an XC bike or an enduro bike with less travel? No. But if you plan on descending that 740 meters this thing will eat all of it up and do so much bette than any bike that can climb better. My favorite local trail is a 1600 ft. climb and an equal descent. In my opinion, this bike is perfect for that. I use the firm suspension setting while climbing and the soft setting while descending. So far, it is perfect for me.
The spring worked just fine for me. I rode the shock in the open setting on the first trail which was very mellow. Then I switched the setting to firm and I liked it a bit better. All down to preference though. For me, I was happy with it.
If you have a XL it is a 400lbs spring according to their website. The 450lbs is on XXL. Thinking of buy a shred. I'm 6.1 and about 94kgs so i'm pretty similar to your height and weight. Thanks for the info :) now i know it's good to go
@@Peppasbodega i ordered the shred 29er has a 450 spring in xl. Still waiting for the Bike. Ordered in Middle of July with abailability from 12.8.... still waiting for it.
Very minimal. I comment on that in the video linked below. When I use the firm setting on the forks and shock, the bike gets pretty stiff. czcams.com/video/bEMnGyg1RNs/video.html
Hi. The tires are tubeless ready. All I will need is the valves, some sealant, and maybe some rim tape. I have not checked yet. The bike did not ship with any spacers for the fork. I hope this helps.
@@SmokinJoe1 no but if they had a 33.5 I’d be all over it. 🤔 I opted for the 29 because I have friends that have 29ers and I liked how their bikes rode. I was coming from a 26”.
I loved my Capra ! Such a capable fun bike
great vid! i'm psyched now. thanks buddy!
Thanks. That place is fun and the bike is equally fun.
This is AWESOME
Thanks. Just a dad out there trying to have some fun!

Thanks. That would be great.
Does the 450lbs spring still work fine for you ? I m around 100kg (220pd) ride ready. So are you if i heard in the Last Videos from you.

Does anyone know if it is the 2021 or the 2020 fox 38 float

Hello. Did the bike come with tubeless valves?
Hello. The bike did not come with tubeless valves.
@@coachrz7919 Okey, the wheels were tubeless ready though right?
@@coachrz7919 and just One last question, did it come with any volymen spacers for THE fork? Thanks in advance

Is the the 27.5 or the 29er
29 XL
