- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- How much air pressure should you have in your dirt bike tires while running standard tubes, heavy duty tubes, or TUbliss? Well the answer is going to depend on the terrain you ride, the speeds, and the tires you are using. We’ll talk about that in this video to give you an idea of what you should be doing.
Hope you enjoy the video.

The irc prime I love it! I run heavy duty tubes 13 front 10-12 rear depending on ground conditions
Tire pressure is super important to safety, performance and longevity of the tires. And yes check pressures at the start of every riding day. Great video! Thank you.
I run 6-7 in the rear with tubliss and about 11-12 in the front with heavy duty tubes. Never had front tire issues to need tubliss.
I’m watching this 1 year after upload.
I run a rooster tire, (the soft off-road one which is a 4 ply tire) with a ultra heavy duty tube and run 5 psi. Front is the rooster 90/90 (soft enduro one with ultra heavy duty tubes) and I put 10-9 psi.
Bridgestone UHD tubes 12psi front, 10psi rear most of the time. Might air up for longer stretches of highway or down for dunes, sand, mud, etc.
Hey Kyle. You should do a vid on steering dampeners and what they do and why you would want one
Great Content
I’m a big rider. (245 lbs with gear on) I am running 6 psi in the rear and have never had a pinch flat. I run Ultra heavy duty tubes. On the front I run about 12 lbs and have had one pinch flat. Keep up the good work Kyle.
"I'm a big rider" 245lbs with gear lmao. Sure you are bud.
Your videos are super helpful, so thank you. Subbed.
The Dunlop seems to have cone shaped knobbles. We used to have a tyre with round cones on the outer sides of the tyre, which I think gave better grip cornering on soil / grass than the square block pattern. I think your IRC was a wider tyre, so should need less air as a result.
Mousses are a game changer... Sure, with tubliss you are able to get a lot more grip out of a tyre, but you can still just buy a soft mousse... And in my opinion they are easier to change than tubes or tubliss... I have used tubliss for several hundreds of hours and after trying the mousse I will never go back... I do have a new tubliss hanging on my wall but that is just in case... Mousses are a way to go... Nothing beats the worry free riding
New Nittro mousse is awesome and they now have soft as well
@@mixalis6168 unavailable where I live
I heard mousse dont do well on high speed transport stages or on the road
@@WholesaleTurbos no they don't... higher speeds they actually start chunking out and basically turn to dust inside the tires but that's higher speeds for longer duration cuz they can't handle the heat
Having raced for and been riding for more decades than i can count, for dirt riding, racing 10-15 max. Doesn't matter what knobby, mfg. Unless you're on hard pack at hig speed. And really, 11-12 is usually the number. BUT hand feel and "look", are most important. This takes time to learn. AND at the races,four of us tested our highly accurate gauges and got 3psi difference!! Now what? Hand feel, the flex. IRC M5B we have used as low as 10psi, it's a mud tire. With caution. Even a hard pack we never run over 13psi. Or what we believe is 13!
Tubliss in back and Mousse up front a good choice since front tires don’t need to run at super low pressures?
What pressure is the best for soft sand beach and Dunes for a 450cc KtM 4 stroke. ???
Very well explained. I run 14 psi (rocky mountain area) w/heavy duty tubes. It's always a compromise.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Jairo Markus instablaster :)
@Clayton Manuel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Clayton Manuel It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Jairo Markus glad I could help :D
The one information that is missing in the video is taking road into account. Low pressure is really twitchy on the road, has bad stability on hard braking and it shreds the tire, so I often run 1.5ATM (22PSI) front and rear, on and off road and then start with dropping only rear to 1ATM (14PSI) if I have traction problem (it is still usable on the road) and if it's still not enough, I drop both way down, knowing the moment I'm going to do more than 2-3km on the road, I'd have to pull the pump out.
The Tubliss system is a no brainer, the initial entry cost far outweighs the headache a tube puncture or pinch flat can cause plus the added benefit of running a lower pressure. It’s the best happy medium between HD or UHD tubes and Mousse which are expensive and have to be replaced after awhile plus they’re a pain to install. Tubliss FTW! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I run 10rear 14front with heavy duty tubes
Kyle, would like to see you test the new Sedona MX-280 SR tires. Thanks for all the info.
Hi Kyle what is the corect tire presure for the Hawk 250cc
I just my son a KX85, and the manual indicates tire pressures from 14.5 to 18. That seems high to me. I've heard true moto guys that I follow on RUclips mention that they run around 12. What do you recommend?
Hey I got a klx 110 how do you
Switch to tubless.
I’m a believer of the tubliss. Zero maintenance. I run 6-8 psi depending on tire. Heavy duty front tube at 11-12 psi. I haven’t had the opportunity to try a bib due to the cost. At $89 for a tubliss set up off amazon that’s hard to beat.
Nothing is zero maintenance !
mixalis I’ve read that bibs need to be maintained by periodically lubing them. I haven’t seen anything that says you need to lube a tubliss. You can add a tire sealant to add more protection for your tubliss.
most tires i use in south az is 20/22 psi i'm 511 235 and works well on/off road
I always prefer to use a mousse 🤙🏻
It’s one less worry to carry when using a mousse ✊🏻💨💨
Couldn't agree more. I've been running the mouse for a year and love them, I switched from.Tublis system.
WADZ UP it’s horrible having to choose your route because you “might” get a puncture.
With a mousse you just dive in and don’t even need to consider it, and they provide great grip ✊🏻💨💨
Innit
I run 8 psi front, 6 rear for an ultra heavy duty tube, pirrelli scorpions mid soft. Don't know anyone who runs over 12 with tubes.
Do you run tubliss on the front as well or can I get away with just running on the rear only
ive never gotten a flat and i run 13 rear and 13.5 front on normal tubes
Sorry for my ignorance what is the presure for my tyres I have the Hawk 250cc with knobles I'm from South Africa we use KPU
How low will slim hold up in the rear.
When are you gonna do a review on gasgas dirt bikes
I have not had a bike wit tubes in almost 5 years. 1290 is tubeless.
If you're a later model KX rider, just use your air fork gauge 👌🏻
Bibs or Michelin Ultra Heavy Duty tubes at 12psi front and rear. Kenda Parker DTs.
So I can put as low as 10 pounds (psi). Or 20% lower than it is written in the Manual Book. For city ride. I plan to do it, because my Honda CB150X seat is 82cm, with 17 inches front & rear Rims which I must stand on my tiptoes while it stops. (I am 5.57 tall). Am I correct the way I think? Or after 1 year, I may change the wheels from 17 inches to 16 inches. Please advise. Thank you Mr. Bike Channel
Hi Kyle, just for your info we using Lucioli tubes in the UK . My combination is a Mitas EF07 super soft with the Lucioli in the rear and I can run 3psi. These are 7mm thick tubes with rim locks built into them. Over a 100 riders including myself ran these at last years Sea to Sky event in Turkey with awesome results. They cost the same price of a mousse so not cheap but last longer than a mousse. 👍🏻
Looked these up a little on some UK forums. They're insanely heavy eh? All unsprung weight too. Thoughts??
Andrew Boundy honestly you don’t really notice it. They weigh not much more than a mousse. I rate them in my experience and road legal too. The grip you can get is unbelievable. I followed guys with the same tyre as me using mousses through wet river beds. They spun up where I got grip using the Lucioli tube.
Yeah I usually run 1.5 psi in the rear, 1 flat in 7 years. Punched a hole through the sidewall from a random piece of steel. Tubliss!
Use Bib moose front and rear then you never have to worry about flats
Won't you taco your rim on a rock at 4psi? Even with tubliss? I run more around 14 just because of that (HD tubes).
Ever watch a pro trials event...
@@aswoo6960 Yes. Trials guys don't hit 60mph+ and don't need to repair their wheels 50 miles from base. They are utterly amazing though!
@@AndrewBoundy hitting 60mph on my dirt bike is like hitting 120 on my street bike, both bikes can do it with ease but I don't ride anywhere where it's cool or even an option to do it.
Yes, the guys running lower than 8psi will ding their wheels. If u dont ride fast like u said, no problem. A lot of them guys are in PNW with slick mud and tree roots, not 4th gear pinned across the desert.
I run enduros and hare scrambles in new england and I run 13-14 in the front and 12 in the rear with good tubes. Any less than that at a race pace you will damage a rim or get a flat but were riding on tons of sharp or square edged granite rocks and ledges. The normal trails out here make the trails this guy rides look like a walk in the park. Tubeliss is ok but you still can't run it down as low as this guy does if you ride hard or in truly difficult terrain. There's a reason the hard enduro guys run a mousse.
Any more reviews coming on the Beta 300 RR ??
And how much air would i have to put in a 125cc
Same same
you should do more track stuff
What happens if you have too much pressure? Does it make the bike slide around a lot more?
Nitro Mousse
Why wont my dirtbike tire pump up
Mousse! Case closed.
Six seasons, never had a flat with a HD tube. I run 6-8 psi.
Mousse are nice to be sure but hella expensive compared to HD tube.
Do you ever use tire mousse? If so, what is your opinion?
I like to eat moose lol
@@endurotruckererniedesjardins mmm, me too
The best tire pressure is A Mousse Bib.
Well... I run 30PSI 😁
always and everywhere...
doesn't matter which tube and which tyre.
Mike Groß are you joking?
@@shutthejoshup9875 no... for real!
Mike Groß I run 6-8. How can u physically ride on 30??? You only have one nobbie on the ground 😂
Just cause it's digital and reads to the tenth, doesn't mean it's accurate...lol
What exactly are people paying $25 / $50 a month for on Patreon?
This info should take 1 minute, not almost 9 minutes !
That smartass of google tells me 15 psi is just about 1 bar.
(7psi front, 5psi rear, tubes with baby powder, yz250x) (6psi front tube with powder, 4.5psi rear factory tubeless rim, sherco st250 trials) I don't have any issues with pinch flats. just watch a pro trials comp these guys are running 6psi or less in the front with tubes. you never see them get pinch
**to put**
I used to search how to videos on RUclips and now I know where not to look.
Yes, i agree. Because I am afraid I might learn something too!
Earth is flat
great commercial for tire gauges.
