So continuing on with my demo bike rides during Crankworx,
this video I'm going to be riding a 2018 YT Capra, It is a carbon 27.5
Wesley also took out a bike to try, a Trek Session 29er
We actually swapped the bikes a few times down this run, so my next video will be my time on that Trek Session
We've just got enough time to do one full garbanzo run at whistler
So we're gonna try and give a healthy dose of the flow trails and the tech trails starting out here with freight train
I got my carbon YT Capra 27.5
Wesley's on a 29er Trek Session, it's pretty interesting. We'll see how he likes it!
Dusty!
What's it like?
Oh man, you guys want to do a No Joke?
I find trails like No Joke to be better with DH bikes because of how gnarly they can be
But that doesn't mean an enduro bike can't handle it. I was pretty happy with how this bike was keeping things together.
Though I was feeling like the suspension was set up a bit too soft for me, though
Wanna switch biked just for a Seven-Year War?
As I said, you'll be able to see my ride on the trek session in the next video
Did you enjoy this bike? Yeah. Yeah good. All right
Oh sick! Nice
Getting rowdy
Oh my goodness! Oh wow still on my bike, still on my bike, dude!
Yeah
This bike took care of me, that was nice
Haha, I definitely bottomed out a couple times through that though
Dude, that was insane
Dude I went the wrong way I
Tried to turn you know that slickrock my back tire slid out. I was like like I can't go to the proper way
So I had to just go straight in the old route
And I actually stayed on my bike well and just made it way break back again. How are just like freight train or something?
Riding at Crankworx is never really that great it's always so dry out and there's much more traffic than normal
the trails really do get beat on quite a bit during this time of year
Oh Man
Pretty good
So a little bit much this bike
this is where the Downhill bike takes over right?
Mind if I try this for a bit of a trainer
Back on the whitey
Feels like this stock feels like
longer for like
Danny
Like it's longer than what I'm used to
Oh, man, I can't believe I walked away from that
So this was super sketchy, but I was really happy with how nicely I bailed out of it that was insane, hold on
that was a little sketchy bail and actually
Yeah
What happened is that I decided to give him a hell stroke while going up the lip
Because I felt like I wasn't going fast enough
But then of course my foot hits the ground and tripped me so it bucked me forward
Moral the story don't ever peddle up a lip pull all the handlebars bent. It's just twisted
Yeah, so those thing it feels like it has the kind of a longer chain stay with your torch mean is less playful
that's what
yeah, I
Don't know what the geometry is. But if that's what it feels like I looked at the chain sailing and it seems to be just
427 millimeters which is really good. So I don't know why I was feeling like it was long
almost epic bail
It was insane and I just like ran out of it
It was so crazy
It was insane
Yeah, heck. Yes
dude
Drive is something
All right sign out a line on this why
Not going for that
Hey, I'm not doing that corner
Oh, oh
I was doing it weird there
Did you
Or like you just hit the seat against the tire. I may not have bottomed out from that. But yeah, it's not even though I
Do Andres the seat Allah did you yeah, I felt really awkward on that part, too
Oh God -
Somebody jump from an doing
Oh boy happy burn
No fear of them
Oh
Yeah, I just wanted to something more mellow right now to finish
I
Think this bike is pretty good. I haven't been on too many modern enduro bikes nowadays
So it's a bit hard to compare the bikes, but I do see this as a good solid bike
