Maxxis Assegai DH casing

[WezDavo]

Recently bought a Mondraker Level and it came with Beastie DH tyres (Assegai DH Max grip front and rear)
I have ditched the rear in favour of a DHR2 Double Down but still run the Assegai up front....
Struggling to find a decent front pressure to be honest so wondering if anyone else runs it and what pressure....
I am just over 100kg...

Used to run 23 roughly.

I run around 22-24 PSI depending on what is being ridden with that tyre

I am 95kg in my riding kit. I have 29x2.5 Assegai DH Maxx Grip on the front and use 17psi. If I'm intending to go somewhere particularly rocky, I will go +1 or +2 psi. When the pressure is that low, it's advisable to set the pressure when you get where you are going as it is surprising how much ambient temperature affects the pressure.
I did have a 29x2.5 Assegai DD Maxx Grip tyre on before the DH and the pressure requirement was the same.

Tubeless of course, no insert.

Used to run 22 front 24 rear Assegai Maxxgrip DD.

Now High Roller 3 DD Maxxgrip front 22, High Roller 3 DH Maxxgrip rear 24.

Works on our terrain.

Edit: Trek Rail, 78kg ready to ride.

I run an 2.5" WT EXO+ Assegai up front and tip the scales at 200 pounds.
23 psi works for me.

I run an E Wild on the front 27.5x2.6 at 18psi, was 95kg ( before the festivities)
21psi in the E Wild on the rear. No issues with burping or pinch flats

 

[Kootbiker]

Assegai DD front 16 psi on my 57 lb. Rocky.

 

[The Hodge]

Front Assegai..21psi
Rear Minion DHF 24psi..
Both tubeless..no inserts
Same tyres year round irrespective of weather ( makes things interesting )
Slightly lower psi in snow

Thanks for the replies everyone
Seems like the consensus seems to be high teens, low twenties...
I'm not used to suck low pressures, my last DH bike (Giant Glory) I used to run DH carcass Maxxis tyres at high twenties, sometimes even low thirties on the rear!!
I tried that on the Mondraker (seeing it had DH carcass tyres) and I was pinging off everything in sight!!
Bigger volume tyres and wider rims must make a big difference then..
I have just had a little run out and dropped the front pressure to 22 psi, seemed much better

Every day is a school day

Don’t forget the effect tyre pressures have on suspension set up. It’s all
Part and parcel of the bikes feel on the trails……enjoy

around 22-24PSI at front (depends if natural trails or a bikepark). I weight 74kg (without a kit).
DH tire without an insert, or 'enduro' casing+light insert (tyre invader/huck norris type)

I ride mainly Off Piste stuff so nothing groomed...
No hucking, just very steep technical chewed out stuff with lots of roots and rocks...
I think I'm getting somewhere after you guys replies , I had too much pressure in so wasn't getting much compliance...

it all depends on the area, sometimes if the place is very rocky, i'd put ~1.6 bars. if it's bikepark even 1.7 - 24psi.
