The new seasons YT Capras are available soon and I need some help reference the sizing. I'm 5'9" with a 31" inside leg. Thanks in advance.

I don't about this years sizing, but my mate has an older one, he's 5'11" and rides a large. I'm 5'9" and tried his capra and it fitted fine. Whereabouts are you? Someone might have one near you.

You are about the same size as my mate who had a medium and it fitted - he said he could have easily got away with a large when he tried mine and almost wished he'd gone large - you might struggle with the length of the dropper post though

I am 6ft 2 and have an xl and it feels mor like a large I definitely wouldn't get away with a large like the website says I would!

I'm 5' 11" and I'm planning on getting a large, all the important specs match up to the large Stumpjumper I'm currently riding, and the YT size guide confirms it.

Also, what do you mean new seasons Capras available soon? The ones on their website are the 2017 models? Although some models are selling out and being dropped back to a late April delivery.

Yes mate the 2017 Large might be the way ahead, tried a Large out in the street (as much as I could) and as much as it seemed fine I can't really compare as I have been riding a Medium Lapierre!
YT got back to me and recommended the Large so I think I'll take the advice.
Cheers lads.

The 2017 models have been available since end of Jan. There is nothing 2017 about the sizing either, unless you count the XL carbon version, as it's the same geo as 2016. Incidentally which is what put me off buying one this year...

Speak to YT. When I got mine I was a bit worried about the standover. Turns out the smaller ones had slightly less clearance than some of the larger ones. I have no idea how.

The CF Pro Race is available from 19 April in Medium and the large 17 May in Large, trust me I've been waiting...

Incidentally what size did you go for in the end?
