Hardtail upgrades for Scott Scale 930 Mountain Bike & Santic Cycling new kits test

My new Scott Scale 930 hardtail has arrived so in this video I'm sharing with you some of the planned upgrades for this mountain bike for making it better and lighter. Also, we have received 2 new Santic Cycling Kits for testing out so watch until the end to see our impressions.

The new Scott Scale 930 carbon mountain bike ( carbon frame hardtail ) is a really nice bike but it comes with some entry level Shimano Deore components. That's why I planned some major upgrades for making it better and off-course lighter. In the near future it will be full Shimano XT equipped and hopefully get it as close as possible to 11kg (starting from 12kg initial weight). These are my recommended hardtail upgrades for the Scott Scale 930 2022 model. I really hope that it helps you out if you are planning also to upgrade your mountain bike.

Here is the list of the initial setup for this Scott Scale 930 hardtail mountain bike and the planned upgrades:

Check also the test we've made with some pretty nice cycling clothes from Santic Cycling. We've tested 2 summer models and we were quite impressed with the quality of the materials, the great fit and the overall look.
