Just a quick thread looking opionions as I’m close to pulling the trigger on a YT Ind Capra which would be my first carbon framed bike.
So I’m wondering what the differences in ride characteristics between carbon and alloy frames are?
Usually carbon frames are lighter but I’m more interested in the ride/feel.
I know there’s usually a lot of talk about alloy vs steel frames, were people say thinkgs like ‘steel is real’, alloy dampens the ride etc etc… but there’s not much discussion about alloy vs carbon frames especially with regards to full suspension frames.
I’ve seen threads on here and in some magazines as well talking about how carbon is durable and actually usually repairable if needed, so that’s not really a concern.
So I’m looking for people’s opinions on ride characteristics between carbon and alloy.
