Morning. I'm buying a capra. Small are in stock in the pro spec. I currently ride a small cotic rocket (selling the frame). The YT is 15mm shorter in top tube, I'm a bit worried about spending oodles of cash and it being too small when it gets here. The rocket feels very compact as it is.

YT recommend small for someone my size, 5'6. They recommend small upto 5'8 in fact so I guess it will be ok.

Any capra owners on here? What was your experience with the size guides? Reliable?

I have a Wicked, not a capra, I am also 5'6" and the small is great, def not too small, I would be dwarfed by a med. ๐Ÿ™‚

I am 5'10" and ride a medium Wicked Comp which I love the size of, so I would have thought small would be fine for you.

Although the Capra's ETT is 20mm shorter than the Rocket its steeper seat tube angle makes the reach only 3mm less, so it'll feel the same size when standing.

I am 5'10" and have a medium Capra, fits perfectly for me, so think the small should be spot on for you.

If your anywhere near Nottingham my wife has a small you could try.

She's 5'5" and it fits well.
