The recommended front pressure is so low for the F900XR that I think scalloping or cupping is inevitable at that pressure.
? 36psi is fairly standard

Yeah, i am not attributing it to pressure, 36psi is fine for a bike that is under 500lbs. It's just something I expect with the large blocks that are created by the sizable rain voids. I expect the mutants to do it to, but at $100 less per set I'm more ok with it.

In the Spanish XR groups I'm in, many have tried and use Mutants and generally love them. However, most only get about 8000km/5000 miles from them, which for some is only 6 months....
