Bike Check: Christian Textor’s YT CAPRA - A Machine Built For Shreddin 7

June 13, 2023 – Warning, shredding in progress. In Finale Ligure, it was all about Jack Moir’s custom bike. Now, it’s time to highlight Christian Textor’s one-of-a-kind CAPRA, inspired by his love for construction and heavy machinery – catch it in action in Leogang tomorrow for the first double- header World Cup of the year.

“My passion for diggers started from being around construction at a young age. I've been operating them since I was three years old, and now they're a tool to help me build trails. Overall, it's a sick bike, inspired by diggers, with that same distinct, industrial look.

I’m super excited to race this custom CAPRA at the first double-header World Cup in Leogang. Dennis and the art department at YT killed it with the design, and I’m looking forward to showing it off in front of a huge crowd.” - Christian Textor, MOB Enduro Rider.

"It was clear from my first chat with Texi that his passion for diggers outweighed any alternative. The approach for this design was similar to Jack Moir’s, except the focus was more on the worn look. I’m a huge fan of the rugged look and the details like the warning stickers." - Dennis Dastig, Senior Graphic Designer of YT Industries.
