Скачать или смотреть Upgrading from a 2012 Giant Anthem to a Norco Sight C2 - Worth the money?

In 2012 I decided to enter the wonderful world of mountain biking. A good mate suggested I buy an Giant Anthem 29er - so I did. 7500 km later and I still love that bike. However, trails have become more aggressive and bikes far more capable. So a few months ago I decided it was time to upgrade. I borrowed (the same mates) Scott Genius 920 Carbon, but ended up buying a tricked up 2021 Norco Sight C2 Carbon. Was the substantial cash outlay worth it for the performance upgrade?

In this video I compare the 2012 Giant Anthem to a 2022 Scott Genius 920 Carbon and finally to the bike I bought, a 2021 Norco Sight C2 Carbon... I ride the same loop on each bike, including a nice little descent and an 80m easement climb as well as some single track.
