I’m fully prepared to accept that 2.5”/i30 is the North Shore happy place for very aggressive DH riding.
I was having the same conversation last week and brought up (weight aside) the option for larger 2.6”, 2.8” rubber (with real sidewalls) on wider rims and was told they’re not “precise enough” so maybe it is a matter of optimizing traction v. precision. Assuming we’re mainly focused on DH performance.
