Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Yes but there is still that sort of crumpled look about the mid section where those big links are hanging on the shock. Lets face it it just doesn't appeal next to the chunky yet fast looking red beast 20180127_114653 (3).jpgtdude... that pic does your beast NO justice. Potato pic for sure.

Skott5 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Interesting that they choose the 29ér over the 650

If you want lower travel, get the Jeffsy. Or something else. The Capra has always been a heavy hitting enduro bike. B20PV 1

Headshot Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I think that bike designers have massive leeway these days because shock technology and the understanding of suspension kinematics has advanced to an extent where a a 180mm travel bike can be designed to pedal uphill quite well. The trend for a while has been for longer ie 160mm plus travel enduro bikes - the Radon Swoop 170, Spaz Enduro, Propain Spindrift etc have been around for a while. YT have just updated an old design and brought it in line with other manufacturers. Odinson and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
