I replied to your similar comment above Morg.
Not saying that 1200g aggressive 27.5+ rubber isn't a reality but there is no
way you can build a tire that is equivalent in sidewall casing durability and
support to a 29×2.3″ tire in a 27.5×3″ tire for only +100g. There is way more
rubber in that 3″ 27.5+ tire.
I'm also not saying that a 1500g 27.5+ tire (+300g from equivalent 29×2.3 is
my guess) is a problem or that your 1200g tire isn't awesome and can't be
ridden aggressively. I just think what's missing in all the 27.5″ articles
I've read is true comparisons across varied terrain and conditions.
