If the XL has a reach of around 500mm I may be interested

You wouldnt buy a YT because of one marketing video?

Right oh.

Young Talent not Old Bimblers  🙂

Think the OP has completely missed the point behind this video!!! The very fact it has him ranting about it creating a thread means it’s served it’s purpose!  It’s got me excited to see the close up detail of the 29 Capra! I mean proper excited…unless it has a stupid short reach and shocking BB standard!

Makes a change from a bike doing skids around corners etc. The filming is great for a bike company.

One of each wheelsize then? Interesting.

The point being that it got people talking about the launch of the bike…the video is bizarre but it’s done it’s job! Certainly not a reason to NOT buy a bike though is it Alan

Eh?

A reach longer than the seat tube would be a move in the right direction

I quite like the Brand. Didn’t buy a Capra, number of reasons for that but their marketing isn’t one; they do a good job versus others efforts. Though like Canyons’, when you get to a trail centre, they are the salted caramel or Ed Sheeran of the mountain bike World – bloody everywhere.

It’s a teaser campaign isn’t it, the official press launch is today…the 8th, the video is part of the build up and the reason they only show small clips of the bike.  It’s weird as hell, done it’s job though.  I applaud YT for doing something different to everyone else.  I’m sure they will publish videos of someone hammering the bike smashing big air later this week!

If that type of video puts you off a brand, god knows what you do for a car!

@sillysilly:

that’s difficult to check if the YT bikers are really half speed of the Canyon guys and that the YT biker ALL don’t smile.

But o.k.. most of them don’t smile. They are too ashamed of this advertisement and can’t pedal any more…

Bit sad so!

Anyone else get irritated by bike hacks pretending to guess what these teasers are about when they almost certainly have the full deets under embargo already?

We’re not **** stupid you know.

I’ve had both canyon and YT bikes silliysilly, and haven’t a clue what you’re on about. The snobbery regarding both brands is as baffling as the inverse snobbery against the likes of SC and Yeti.

We’re not **** stupid you know

Some comments above prove otherwise… 🙂

I think YT make brilliant bikes and have brilliant aftersales service. Admittedly I’d not wear one of their #doyouevendriftbro style t shirts but you can’t have it all.   I won’t be buying a new Capra but my Tues DH ‘rig’ is superb.  Direct sales is the future and they are great at it

I can’t be bothered to watch the video but interested in the new bikes. I’d have watched gwin or Andreu riding the tits off it though, perhaps they were busy.

@ehrob:

Congratulations !!!!

This is such a great bike !!! Swoop 170 ?

There is one Swoop 200 on our local downhill trail – this bike is simply crazy. But nothing if you like to pedal uphill…

Swoop 170: fantastic Enduro. Good buy!

Have fun.

The whole range has stuck with the Shimano/E13 combo afaics.

The AL version looks pretty nice tbh.

I can’t get through to the geometry page though.

@AlexSimon: thanks!

YT website still down for me…

Shimano/E13 combo: this is interesting!

No 1×12 so?

Recently lots of feedback with 1×12 issues. Would be interesting to know if YT picks Shimano/E13 due to commercial reasons or due to testing results using 1×12.
