Absolutely. I’m only looking at it from the perspective of riding the same bike to and on my favourite trails.
If I was racing XC or Enduro or riding elsewhere my experience would potentially be very different.
Likewise, if I was riding a similarly slack and long FS bike my experience may be different.
But my takeaway was still, for local trail riding, that a substantial difference in weight didn’t really change my experience much. Any middle ground between the two setups would mean even less so.
It’s not scientific in any way, but I still thought it was an interesting experience.
