CAPRA Elite
The CAPRA Elite is our new high-end enduro rig and will be available as a 29er destined for heavy-duty riding. With 170 mm of travel and the newest FOX Factory suspension technology, this beast is ready for you to take it over the gnarliest of trails...
Keep the updates coming .. this is like reality TV for us bike Nerds (y)
Hoping you discover the issue soon :coffee::coffee:
** have to ask .. what is the plug in the bottom of the steer tube of the decoy above ? (underneath photo). Is it one of the old style through headset/stem tightening...
I would predict early Jan with Mar/Apr delivery dates (based on last year) .. likely varies by country
Commencal always seems to launch their bikes a bit early. At least we can hear all the reviews on the EP8 motor before pulling the trigger on a 2021 model
I predict the 2021 model will have...
Where is BC do you live ? The Canadian rep for YT resides in Kelowna and may be able to help you out?
Sorry I just read Revy ... drop him a line and I am sure he could help you out
I would say ride it and pull the plug on a mullet in Jan 2021 .. for the following reasons ...
Expect/Predict:
1) New EP8 motor (the 8000 is fine .. but after riding some newer motors, the deficiencies are quite noted .. noise .. delay in power .. torque .. etc)
2. New 38 mm forks (fox or...
This seems to be a trend now in the bike industry to offset rising production costs (try to keep the bikes the same price as previous years by using lower spec'd components).
One of the big selling points of YT is/was the ability to buy a bike that requires very few upgrades in component spec...
I agree that the photo shows the trail switch and I am a bit surprised that YT is not using the Grip2. One has to hope its just an early promo pic (more likely just a model to slot into the 2021 range)
If I was dropping over $9000 (CDN price after taxes) I would definitely want a Grip2 (with...
I think we have semantics at play here ;)
A Fox 38 Grip fork is a LOWER spec (pricepoint) than a Fox 38 Grip2. I am sure we can all agree on that one :cool:
The question ultimately comes down to (and apply this to any bike) .. does the price warrant the part spec ?? One of the biggest knocks...
I have Decoy Pro Race already (since mid 2019) (y)
Waiting for the new EP8 motor in 2021 ... Commencal launching the new Shimano motor on Aug 31st (and 640wh battery)... I suspect YT will be on Jan 1st if their previous release dates hold true.
Ordering a YT is like ordering FINE food at a fine restaurant ... takes forever to get it ... but its usually its worth the wait. (y)
OK there is my plug for YT (now where is my swag - :cool:)
If I order a new Decoy next year, I am planning on a 3 month turn around .. just to be safe. Its...
Nice .. but strangely a 51mm offset fork and not a Grip II model ??? :unsure:??
All other Decoys and Capra's are 44mm offset ... except the new Capra shred is 51mm as well.
Odd as most manufacturers are moving towards lower offset forks... not larger (Transition set the trend a few years ago...
Looks like a Decoy with a Fox 38 up front and Fox DHX2 Coil out back (plus aluminum rear triangle) ...
The non Kashima options should keep the price lower. Nice ... I'd buy (y)
Makes you wonder what the 2021 offerings will look like ? Likely similar but with the EP8 motor :unsure:
^^ Curious as to what chain you are running ? GOLD (blingy):unsure:
How much better do you find the Sunrace cassette ? The only benefit I find to the e13 cassette is its loud enough to scare away bears and let hikers know your coming a mile away :)
I am going to speculate (just a guess) that the delay or inevitable non-release of the 700w battery "may" (100% guess) to do with 2 things:
1) The new EP8 motor (or e9000) coming in 2021. Perhaps the motor has better efficiency which negates the need for a 700w battery (for instance better...
You'll be impressed with the Galfer pads. Been running them for a few months now …..VERY long lasting and good power. Will be my "go to" pad from here on in (y)
Originally, I ran the green pads in the front and purple e-bike pads in the back.
Wore completely through the green front race...
Hey All
I am using the RideControl APP for my wife 2020 Giant Liv Intrigue E that I had the updated EVO display screen added (ride control control removed)
It is "supposed" to allow for email and text messaging to be displayed on the EVO screen, however the option to enable this in the...
Ouch that sucks ... I see Jenson USA is showing them available in 5 days if that is a back up option ?
We Canadians cannot order Fox goods from the USA (all ours come through a central distributor = higher costs) ... or I might have one in a couple weeks as well.
The chances of this...
