Thanks for the reply... always good to hear the rationale behind choices. I was thinking the trail version probably wasn't a thing when these decisions were being made. Which honestly, makes the choice of CC-XC for this bike even more puzzling to me!
Good to hear that the MY24's will get the trail version... haven't ridden them (enjoying my Tannus inserts too much to bother), but would suspect they're a more suitable choice.
Whatever choices you've made... you get respect for even thinking beyond the usual, spec'ing great tires and being brave enough to add inserts. Won't be for everyone, but the downside of just taking them out for those that don't want them, then maybe at least sell them... vs the upside for those that will love them... probably makes this a good choice overall.
