YT Industries present the 2015 range: Bikes for Good Times

-

Aluminum CAPRA taking over for the WICKED series

Extended colour palette and configuration variations for CAPRA CF
New geometry and bigger wheels for TUES

The main focus of the 2015 range is the further development of the award winning
downhill bike, the TUES, and the construction of an all-new aluminum version of the
enduro bike CAPRA. The CAPRA AL will replace the WICKED and delivers the same
performance as its big brother, the CAPRA CF, at a price that's affordable for everyone.
CAPRA Aluminum
In 2015 YT launches the first aluminum version of the CAPRA, that will replace the WICKED
series. The enduro bike features all the performance and build quality of its carbon brother.
The reach and stack, flat bar angle and steep seat angle make for a perfect rider position,
while a short chain stay enhances the bikes handling and makes the rider feel like he is a
part of the bike.
Like the TUES, the CAPRA is equipped with a V4L suspension system, a major factor in its
staggering list of past victories. The V4L system has very distinct advantages: it provides
all the suspension needed for hammering down hill, without loosing efficiency on climbs.
So while it meets all downhill requirements, the springs also deliver energy from the
drivetrain directly to the back wheel when peddling.
Besides that, the V4L system separates the brake torque from the suspension, completely
eliminating fork dive when braking.

CAPRA CF
The first year of this carbon enduro bike was distinguished by a load of test victories . In
2015, as well as offering a bigger choice of colours, YT Industries also introduce a new
model to the CAPRA CF line. While the CAPRA Pro will be given new E13 TRSr wheels and a
revised colour way, YT also built a new CAPRA Pro Race model, targeted at enduro racers
.And the configuration speaks for itself: its equipped with new BOS Deville suspension
forks, with 160mm of travel, FCV (Frequency Control Valve) shocks that reach new levels of
performance and the new Renthal Fatbar Carbon 780mm handlebars with a Renthal Apex
stem. And as the cherry on top the Mavic Crossmax Enduro wheels will make for minimum
times in all races.

TUES
In 2014 Andreu Lacondeguy won the toughest competition in the sport of mountainbiking
on his TUES: the Rampage. Team mate Cam Zink secured runner up at the same event and
won Best Trick Award. In 2015 the new wheel size 650B (27,5) dominated the further
development of the TUES by taking full advantage of the potential of this enlarged size and
adjusting the downhill bike's geometry to fit perfectly. Based on the feedback from
Cameron Zink and Andreu Lacondeguy the 4th generation of this successful downhill bike
comes close to perfection: the hydro-formed main frame is as light and stiff as its
predecessor and excels with a low focal point. The 27.5 wheels also allow for the pedal
bearings to be fixed underneath the axles.
Additionally, the geometry has been enhanced with a longer reach, to achieve the more
centered position of contemporary DH racing, which makes hitting jumps on gnarly trails
more safe.

DIRT LOVE Andreu Lacondeguy Signature

YT Industries introduced Andreu Lacondeguys signature bike in 2013. Built and configured
as he desired, it still meets all requirements a solid dirt bike needs to meet today. I love this
frame! says Andreu. Its crazy how clean and simple the bike looks and how big you can
go on it! The DIRT LOVE's incredible stability is accounted for by the tube set. The triple
butted, hydro-formed tubes are absolutely unique among dirt jump bikes. They allow for a
perfect union with the tapered head tube, where the forces of riding are intense and
multidirectional, making the DIRT LOVE frame the strongest on the market in its weight
class.
