Pro Bike Check: Bryan Regnier’s YT Capra

With a growing range of enduro specific bikes, YT Industries has turned its attention to the Enduro World Series! Looking to make its mark on the EWS circus they have signed Bryan Regnier to represent their brand this season. The French man from Marseille used to ride for Cedric Gracia and his Racing Brigade, and is notorious for being able to party hard and have a hell of a good time, then just show up at the race and smash out a solid result. Finishing with a solid 27th overall at the recent EWS in Scotland, we caught up with Bryan to check out his YT Capra!

The Capras 65.5 degree head angle and 75 degree seat angle make it a formidable weapon on both the descents and the climbs!
