A spoof campervan advert posted on social media by
several YT Industries athletes suggests the German direct sales brand are firing up the hype machine for something new.
So, what makes us think it’s going to be a Capra? Well, there are definitely some not-too-subtle clues to decipher. The big giveaway is that in the outro of the video, we see a silhouette of a figure that looks suspiciously like
the Goat Man character created for the launch of the previous Capra.
The Harvey’s Goat Man (left) vs the 2018 Goat Man (right).Other clues highlighted in the comments in the video include that the phone number ‘6-0-4-7’ could be read as ‘G-O-A-T’ and that ‘CAmPeRvAn’ contains all the letters of ‘Capra’.
The current Capra was released in 2018 and we highlighted it as
a bike due for a refresh earlier in the year. Although a number of special edition specs have been released, including
aluminium versions, the core platform has remained unchanged for the past three years. With the recent explosion of long travel, single crown, freeride bikes, a new Capra would slot right into current trends, albeit with some stiff competition.
We’ll be keeping an eye on YT’s latest marketing campaign and will update you with any actual details of the bike as they become available.

Please write to me whenever you feel like something is damn funny but you are afraid the fun Police may get you.
Because it is ironic that it is highly possible that there is nobody else on Pinkbike who has posted this many swasticas in their profile picture. In his profile description he says he hates haters and loves lovers which points at a rather polarized soul. A person who creates a world where whatever you say you are either a communist or a racist.
All this not to mention a fundamental issue that someone digs into symbolism of promo videos of a brand, believing it is a sign that YT leadership is filled with white supremacists making it a call to rise. He criticizes QANON yet he does exactly that, looks for conspiracies. He is everything he hates. He can come out now, he is a hateful, power greedy male who wants to create clear divisions between human beings, dividing them into better and worse.
Then I find it frightening that you are willing to support such ridiculous narrative just because you had a shitty customer service experience. This is the problem with our times: instead of bashing the actual issue you are willing to dress it up in completely irrelevant stuff that wakes up worst dorts of demons Come on.
We have a new dude in our riding group who is likely a racist. He did some shit and his FB profile speaks for itself. He shows up from time to time. And he surely is messed up mentally, he is no calculated arch villain as DCA sees all around him daily. He is just stupid. Does that make us all immoral or inclusive for letting him ride with is? Does it make us support what he believes in? Are we fence sitters? No we are doing our thing and keeping a an eye on him.
Oh thete are racists and misogynists amon MTB ranks - What do you propose? Cleansing? Because that’s what all this online shit talking is. I would gladly look at how DCA handles our local guy in real life.
Talk is cheap. No matter how loud and how much you talk
If this is the real Waki, welcome back!
I see.
I think it would it be fair to say that your comments over the past two years have been similar in tone to your comments here.
On this page you have resorted to calling people (or groups of people)
-moron
-some dudebro with the intelligence of a barely formed cro-magnon
-having the maturity of one.
You have name called, criticized riders, products and companies and / or their decisions in 21 of your 26 most recent posts.
Whether you appreciate the opinions of others or not, at least can we all agree to wish everyone a nice day.
Have a good day Sir. I hope you can see it to be civil to others where possible.
One thing is sure, teenagers don’t really have much business to hang around here on comment boards. Which is cringy in many ways.
Finally, in a way we flush this place with some rather shitty demons of our psyche sometimes and it’s a bit like showing our mental hairy balls and dick to people. Again cringy
See... middle aged men are too cringy. Ban me instantly!
After a few emails, YT agreed to warranty the complete frame, this process did take a couple of months until it arrived but as this was at the start of the first pandemic lockdown (warehouse staffing probably difficult) I was pretty happy with this outcome.
I will never buy another YT. I actually had to buy another bike. Otherwise if I relied on them I wouldn’t be riding for the foreseeable future. Horrible company. Stay clear away.
Sorry you're having the same issues with YT :/
But sweet buy on the Shore! \m/
YEAH BUDDY!
I'll consider that another bullet dodged since I was looking at some commencal bikes to replace my YT
ly a piece of shit
The Goat are running a Nanny state.
Also calling out pinkbike for playing along with likely direct marketing guidelines with silly anagrams and pretend guessing games/speculation.
I might be a simpleton but if it is not a shredit it is not selling bikes.
No.
Get it?
Too bad that brexit destroyed privateer and vitus, now cube or radon are the best value bike brand.
so happy I built up my dream bike with a slightly used frame and new parts for 4.5k before corona
He might have an issue with YT and their way of advertising which i don‘t share as well. But i also don‘t share the habit of group bashing and making fun of someone.
Just be decent people sharing the same passion.
Humanity is so f**** up!

Fantasy Land. You've dreamed all this up and are the only one living in your own reality. Poor, poor you.
