Anything in the low to upper 20s is common. There is no single tire pressure that's going to work for everyone. Terrain, conditions, bike type, bike setup, rider weight, riding style, and tire size are some of the variables to consider. I raced a lot of XC back in the day so I always wanted to run as low a pressure as possible. Now that I only ride trail and big, pedally backcountry rides, I run higher pressures (24 f / 27 r) because I want support and feedback from my tires. In the wet season I run a bit...

Hmm.... I was thinking the exact opposite. I'm glad they tested at 26 psi as that's exactly what I run on my back tire. Maybe 23 in the rear isn't as common as you think? Or maybe I'm uncommon. Idk

Was thinking the same thing, if Spesh really has a competitive race tire that seems like a big deal (and just anecdotally some of my faster, shreddier friends have been riding the new T9 AND T7 trail and enduro tires and have been impressed).

That didn't take long... Re reach, X fore-aft movement on a longer reach bike (which usually means a longer wheelbase bike as well) will give you less of an effect on either the front or rear wheel. So that means you can be sloppier with your inputs and of course more precise with them on a shorter reach frame. With a longer reach (longer wheelbase) you also get additional stability at higher speeds, which makes it more comfortable mentally, enabling 'lesser' riders to go faster. The negative is of course the tighter stuff, where long bikes ARE cumbersome (riding a...
