That and you’re limited to buying larger tires. I’d be curious how many XCO women ride 30mm id rims, I bet it’s a handful at most. With women weighing generally less than men they can get away with having low enough pressures using 25mm id rims and still see all the benefits. Also, I’m not convinced that 2.4 tires and lower tire pressures are always faster, they certainly aren’t for all trail conditions. I wouldn’t want a 2.4 to be my every day race tire.
