What to study

Curiosity Gap

Most riders start on a basic bike and wonder if upgrades would make them faster. ENTRY LEVEL says this is that bike. You can't see which parts changed or how much time it saved, so you click to find out if £1000 was worth it.

How the packaging works
Title

'How Much Faster' is the question riders ask before any upgrade, and 'We Spent' means GCN put real money in, so the answer feels tested rather than guessed.

ENTRY LEVEL tells most riders this is a bike like theirs, and showing one clean bike rather than the new parts keeps the shopping list hidden.

Remix this

When your audience is deciding whether an upgrade is worth the money, pay for it yourself and ask the result in the title. Name their starting point in the thumbnail, and keep what you bought for the video.
