- YT Capra Uncaged 6 Unboxing vid!
2023 is a fresh start to put some of the best bikes in the world to the test. The Uncaged 6 is fully loaded with what should be THE BEST components in the world: Carbon chassis, Rockshox with Flight Attendant, AXS, Synthesis carbon wheels and more!
These reviews and all of my work is 100% crowdfunded by the MTB public via my competitions. The only products I offer to win have passed the AstonMTB test and I really believe are the best options on the market. Check out my current competitions here: astonmtb.com/
About me: lifelong MTB rider and racer. Bad World Cup downhiller and slightly better at EWS racing. Qualified MTB coach and guide. 5 years as the European Technical Editor for Pinkbike, followed by some years of testing and prototyping for brands within the industry.
Now I've thrown everything into this project to create the best independent bike reviews in the world.
These products are bought at full retail price, and the reviews are funded 100% by competition ticket sales and donations. Buying a ticket not only gives you a chance to win cool bike stuff but also to support more and more independent reviews. This is a community effort, you can support these reviews, or get your information elsewhere which is always funded directly by the brands or through their advertising budgets...
Thanks to everyone for the support so far!
Back seat director here....can you use a body or handheld mic on your videos? Hard to hear you with the set up as it is. Respect to the content and the ethos
I can already hear Dave recoiling in horror at the clevis link.
Good afternoon from sunny 😎 New Zealand 🇳🇿Can’t wait to see how this goes. A allrounder bike and good price. Super interested in how it climbs and fire roads. Thanks for the bike buying advice!
Stoked to see you getting some new bikes to test Paul! I’m not too interested in the Capra as the few YT’s I worked on when I worked in shops always seemed low quality. But I’m very excited to hear your thoughts on the CB Synthesis carbon wheels and the Flight attendant suspension bits. Looking forward to everything else this year has in store from you too!
Oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't get a back wheel off and on without smashing it around. I wish someone would either work out a way to make it suck less or ship bikes with rubber boots around the rear dropouts so that fixing a flat on the back doesn't mean adding a massive new brake rotor scratch to the frame.
Surron looking sick leaning on the side there
Looking forward to watching more videos about this bike. I’ll cross my fingers you don’t crack the frame!
Pretty sick man. I had the first generation Capra and loved it.welcome to Good Times
Ill always argue the best way to assemble wheels into the frame is upside down.
Can't wait for the next episode 🙌
Hi Paul, love your content. Can I ask how tall you are?
Finally!
They probably made money with this for 5.8k so just think about the margin they had when it was 9k.
I have 2022 Capra Pro AL. They put too many spacers in my chain guide so bike was so so noisy. Had to go to the shop to because I couldn’t find the problem by myself. It got better but bike was still really noisy so went to shop again and they didn’t put enough grease in frame bearings. Shop fixies it again. After 14days of riding bike got really noisy again. They bearings blew up and needed to be replace. I’m really lucky I pay for a labour in beers n pizzas otherwise I would be a few 100$ out of my money. Yeah my fixing skills are poor and I don’t have proper space and dozens of special tools u need and time to fix my bike but still it’s a brand new bike..
I bet that shop knew you didn't have a clue and just took your money.
@@skullsroad3642 well there obviously was a real problem if the bike was really noisy. And this is not the first time I hear about busted bearings in a newish YT bike
@@skullsroad3642 the shop is next to restaurant where I work and they do the work for beers and pizza in their free time. They’re my buddies..
Would have never thought that you would buy a YT. Looking forward to see what you do. I don't hear good things about the Capra tbh.
I broke several (well, 3) alluminium frames years ago so switched to carbon. Not broken one since. I wonder if alluminium is too stiff & gets brittle with the slightest flex? Hope this frame works out ok.
Yeah not the best in terms of fatigue. Otherwise you would see coil springs made of aluminium I guess 😄. That said I've cracked multiple cro-mo steel frames too.
I've cracked 3 chainstays on aluminium frames in 18 months.
YT send me a carbon frame as a replacement and it's still going strong.
Isn't this the one, that's breaking shocks? I think YT made a statement about it too. It might be the previous Capra, in that case, I'm interested to see if they fixed the problem. I hope you'll enjoy your riding on this!
The MK1 and MK2 capras had no issues with that,the new one has a yoke like most of the bikes that snap coil shocks.
No, that was a special version of the MK2 (the previous version to this one) and it was caused by the specific FOX shock and not the frame
Disappointed this video isnt 3hrs long 😔
video starts at 4:25 for anyone wanting to skip the chat
bikes snapping 100%
Lovely bike and tools to be fair! Correct name is the Shiyt Crapra 😂
Why do you call Young Talent "YT"? What are the pros vs cons of having internal cable routing? Why a carbon bikes so much cheaper to manufacture then Aluminum?
The thought of a beginner buying a DTC bike scares me a bit. Not to say they shoudn't. You're probably better making friends with a local shop and getting properly set up. Sure if you can't deal with LBS antics, I get that.
Canyon provides me with better service an support than my LBS.
i will never support 2 of 3 of our LBS. they are just BAD, They dont live and breath bikes... yet they work at a bike shop. -ve had to educate them on other peoples bikes.
DTC is the future.
LBS is a rip off. Always make your hard earned dollar go further. You learn as you go.
Gonna feel a bit cramped for you I'll wager
Video was good but Too $hort
