Description

YT Capra CORE 5 MX – Ultimate Ultra Modulus Carbon Mullet

The YT Capra CORE 5 MX is a surgical precision tool designed for professional riders who demand the absolute pinnacle of “flickable” handling combined with flagship carbon engineering. Built on a premium ultra modulus carbon frame, this “Mullet” masterpiece utilizes the refined V4L suspension system and the revolutionary XX Transmission to deliver a ride experience that is as agile as it is indestructible. This specific build excels on steep technical chutes and high-speed jump lines, making the YT Capra CORE 5 MX the ultimate choice for those who demand aggressive gravity performance in the lightest and stiffest carbon package available.

Key Features of the YT Capra CORE 5 MX

• Ultra Modulus Carbon: YT’s flagship carbon layup for maximum weight savings and professional-level stiffness.
• Mullet Wheel Setup: 29″ front for maximum rollover and 27.5″ rear for quick direction changes and “butt clearance.”
• SRAM XX Transmission: The premier wireless T-Type system for flawless shifting under extreme pedaling load.
• Fox Factory Suspension: Gold Kashima coating on the 38 fork and Float X2 shock ensures buttery smooth trail action.
• Hangerless Interface: Direct-mount drivetrain increases strength and eliminates alignment precision issues.
• Synthesis Carbon Wheels: Tuned Crankbrothers carbon rims paired with Industry Nine 1/1 hubs for elite response.
• Code Ultimate Stealth Brakes: Top-tier hydraulic power with refined lever modulation and a clean cockpit aesthetic.
• 170mm Travel: Long-travel platform specifically tuned for technical descents and massive G-outs.
• V4L Suspension Kinematics: Optimized linkage provides mid-stroke support and prevents harsh bottom-outs.
• Lifetime Support Package: Includes YT’s comprehensive warranty and premium global service support.

Chassis Construction & Geometry

• The ultra modulus carbon layup ensures the frame handles the highest G-loads while maintaining elite-level torsional stiffness.
• A threaded bottom bracket interface provides a creak-free experience and simplifies long-term mechanical service tasks.
• Integrated dual-density frame protection shields the high-modulus downtube and chainstays from harsh rock strikes and high-velocity debris.
• The structural integrity of the YT Capra CORE 5 MX ensures every watt of energy translates into forward momentum during sprints.
• Refined aggressive gravity oriented geometry features a slack head angle and short chainstays for “flickable” handling.

Suspension Kinematics & Trail Dynamics

• The V4L suspension system provides a sensitive initial stroke for buttery smooth small bump compliance.
• The playful mullet wheel agility allows for later braking and tighter cornering lines compared to a full 29er setup.
• Fox Factory shocks with Kashima coating offer the most sensitive response to high-frequency trail chatter for maximum traction.
• A progressive leverage ratio ensures the 170mm of travel remains composed during high-speed square-edge hits.
• The Synthesis wheels track perfectly in off-camber sections, damping trail vibrations while maintaining steering precision.

Drivetrain & Precision Componentry

• The SRAM XX Eagle Transmission features the revolutionary hangerless interface for maximum durability and perfect alignment.
• Stealth braking aesthetics from the Code Ultimate calipers allow for a cleaner cockpit and optimized hose routing.
• The hangerless drivetrain mounting system ensures that the derailleur is always perfectly indexed to the cassette.
• Industry Nine 1/1 hubs provide the high-engagement and reliability needed for professional-level racing and gravity riding.
• Detailed component comparisons show the reliability of the wireless T-Type shifting system.

Trail Performance & Climbing Efficiency

• A steep seat angle places the rider in the most efficient position for high-cadence climbing during transfers.
• This build provides climbing efficiency without compromise, maintaining traction even on loose, technical uphill sections.
• The 29-inch front rollover allows the bike to maintain speed through rock gardens while the rear stays nimble.
• Precision long-travel stable handling ensures the bike doesn’t feel nervous at high speeds on wide-open tracks.
• Optimized anti-squat characteristics ensure the suspension remains active while pedaling through chunky terrain.
