Also tubed or tubless ?

32 ish psi
But its not a hard and fast rule by any means

more grip less psi tho you can only go so far b4 you rip the tire off the rim.

Weighing in at a tad over 75kg, I run the Macina Lycan and Ultra 1964 at 25psi back and front.

Tyres are Hutchinson DZO, running a tubeless set up. The side walls are reasonably firm on the Hutchinson tyres as well.

It tracks over wet roots and rock as though on rails, but I pay for it when on the road.

Typical example of the type of roots that I ride across.
