YT Industries – 2017

They’re on the website now, but disappointingly, don’t seem very new…

All they needed to do was lengthen them a bit and maybe lower the seat tube length.
Ah well.

Paint and spec changes only it appears but it would’ve been good to see the conservative geo tweaked a bit, but I guess they’ll sell sh*itloads anyway so what do I know.

Geo changes = new (or at least reworked) moulds so can’t seem them doing frame tweaks/changes very often

Just small component changes and some spec changes.

The top spec Capra seems to come with E13 wheels and cranks now.

Luckily for me I got mine last year with top spec SRAM carbon cranks and top spec Swiss DT carbon rims.

means my Tues isnt outdated so i’m happy

+1

But it looks like 2018 for a Capra mk2 and 2019 at the earliest for Jeffsy mk2, I’d guess.

The ONLY tweek they needed to make but they haven’t…

They’re clearly wanting to get their money’s worth out of the Capra moulds, 2017 will be four years won’t it?

Just 3 I think. (well I don’t think many people had them until mid-summer 2014 so maybe 3.5yrs if they don’t replace until this time next year.

Lack of change in geometry aside, still quite staggering value.

Capra Carbon frame now available in size XL for the first time is the main addition for the 2017 range, still a very short TT for us gangly types though.

is there a consensus on the reliability of their carbon bikes from the recent model years? I’ve read a few crack reports but not sure how truthful that is and whether they’re any more reliable or not than any other producer.

for me the TuesAL in black is lovely looking and indeed a bargain.

Have a 2015 & 2016 model. Both done rough rocky alpine trails and some fairly big drops and jumps, no problems so far.

I had a 2015 comp 1, got the normal “paint crack” or whatever you want to call it behind the headset, got it replaced no stress, new one no problems. Maybe it was just an early problem.

Willing to say the Capra is by far the best bike i have owned so far, although it is being replaced with a 2017 reign advanced one, mainly because the price is to good to turn down through work and it looks like sex on legs!

Other than that i would be sticking with the capra

2016 CF Comp here – best bike I’ve owned – having a short torso/long legs, I don’t want a long top tube
