The Capra Uncaged 6 is an expensive bike for this generally good-value, direct-to-consumer brand, but that's because you get the latest high-tech wizardry, in the form of Rock Shox's Flight Attendant electronic suspension adjustment and SRAM's X01 Eagle AXS wireless shifting. This adds up to a lot of bike for your cash.
