after not too much deliberation i pulled the trigger on this YT Capra comp 1, long and short of it, i intended on buying one early december and when the time came.........you guessed it SOLD OUT, gutted, so then a quick flick over to canyons website and ordered myself a strive al race 7.0, not too dissimilar spec wise and slightly cheaper, which was due delivery at the back end of february. Then through the wonders of facebook my prayer were answered by the yt industries pages. factory outlet demo bikes in stock.....boom my prayers were answered at nearly £500 off... sign me up for some of that

That's gorgeous! I had a very quick blast on one of these the other day and I have to say, the brief impression I got from it was great - stability of a downhill bike, but the playfulness of a trail bike. Awesome.0
