Talk about a 'how long is a piece of string' type question!

Bike geometry, body position all effect how much load is on the front. At as much lean as we carry on these things the 70 has a bigger contact patch and the 60 has less, so if you're already on the edge where the 60 offers you less grip it stands to reason that you can slide it easier.

Phill you're lighter than me, a smoother rider and therefore you could be running your bike with less ride height, different fork internals etc ... lots of reasons why I get slides and you don't.

The list is endless
