- Your tyres are the first point of contact between you as a rider and the ground. Getting the right tyre pressure will give you more grip, more comfort and control so getting it right is essential. It also affects the range of your ebike. In this video, Chris shows you how to find the perfect tyre pressure for you and your riding style.

How do you like to run your tyre pressures? Do you adjust depending on the terrain or do you like to set it and forget it?
Depends for commuting I set it to max PSI if I'm going on trails where the dirt is somewhat loose than I deflate the tires for more traction.
I leave it as it is from the shop when I get it serviced
Also when will the seat giveaway winners be announced
What's the perfect tyre pressure? Watch whole video and there is no perfect tyre pressure... 😂
The aim is to provide you with the information to help you decide for yourself! It's all subjective, but you're right, there's no universal 'perfect' but there is a personal one
@@embn Yep, nobody can suggest an 'ideal' pressure 'coz there are too many variables. Not just brand, tubed or tubeless, but also inserts for example. It may be that you'll need to change pressures on a ride as the terrain/surface changes. Experiment, experiment, experiment....believe nobody!
Interesting vid Chris. In the back run between 28 and 35 depending on where i'm riding and weigh around 95kg. 👍
Recently started running 20psi front 30 rear on tubeless maxis 2.8's,works for me
A good way to work out your optimum tyre pressure: is before every ride checked and note the exact pressures in each tyre, then during and after every ride make a note on how the bike felt/handled for the riding conditions of the day. And experiment each ride, 2 psi up 2 psi down until feels the perfect all round pressure for the day.
(remember no pressure will ever be perfect for every part of every ride, its all a compromise)
Eventually you will have a log of what pressure suits which tyres best for the relevant conditions you expect to be riding.
My only consistency is I always run 4 psi more in my rear tyre, which just feels nicely balanced for my personal geometry riding style.
I used this info below to start with my tire pressure, and go 2psi + or - depending on where I am am riding.
eMTB great starting point:
- 1.8 Bar (26 Psi) front and back in a standard 2.35 -2.5 inch tubeless tire
- 1.4 Bar (20 Psi) front and back in a standard 2.6 - 3.0 inch tubeless tire
- 2.0 Bar (29 Psi) front and back in a standard 2.35 -2.5 inch tubed tire
- 1.6 Bar (24 Psi) front and back in a standard 2.6 - 3.0 inch tubed tire
80% of the time I am running 18psi in the front and 22psi in the rear with insert, I am 160lbs.
JAP I'm riding a Levo with Eddy Current in the front and Hans Damph in the rear on race face next 31R super wheels.
Fr 0,7 Re 1,5 riderride weight 72kg and yes rides super!
I think you should also include a little info on how the tyre volume influences the "correct" pressure.
I find that the bigger volume, the less PSI I want. I ran my 2.6'' tyres higher than my 2.8'', because with the same pressure my 2.8'' feel hard and bounces around like crazy.
You do mention it at the end, when tallking about "big volume downhill tyres with soft compound", but in my opinion this matters quite a lot.
At least worth a mention :)
I’ve seen so many bike pics in the snow. What are the pro tips for making the most of my emtb on snowy trails?
I run front at 25 and rear 25 but tyre width plays a huge role in psi too. Im 85kg kitted and on 2.65 wide tyres (measured) 2.8 labeled. I can get 2 wheel drift and no nasty cornering habits. To find this the key is to only shift 2psi at a time from ball park and try the exact same run on the same day , a smidgen more in the rear is good but i like the extra climbing grip and a more precise front feel so i ended up even Kpa between front and rear. Dont use co2 unless you are racing, CO2 is shite as a gas for tyres, heat changes co2 pressures way more than basic plain old air . If seconds count you have to compromise, else run air .
I run MARATHON E PLUS MTB tyres on mainly single and double track cross country with a bike weight of 26 kg and my self is 118 kg trying to understand the correct pressure is quite hard as the pressure the videos show are below the lowest recommendations for these tyres so at the moment i'm running 50 psi I tried 40 psi but found I was slipping more.
any help would be great.
1.8 bar in front and back tire (29x2.6) is for me perfect.
Never measured pressure ever, I just use the thumb press guage works every time..
27.5 Maxis minion DH2 2.6 with cush core 2.5-30. at 22 and 26. Rode it up concrete stares flat tire flat out no damage
What is the small mini track pump that Chris is showing at the beginning of the video ?
Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV ABS Pump. Great pumps and reasonable price around £35.
What would be the minimum pressure for a heavy rider of 120kg on a 2020 Kenevo doing downhill? Its are to find a formula online this isn't complete bs.
My riding weight is 96kg and I do a lot of downhill with 28 rear and 26 front tubeless on a 23kg bike.
35 inner rim 21 front 23 back 2.5 minion and assagi dd case
Did I miss it or did you forget to mention the weather variable ?
I run 40 psi for front and back for general riding cause that's all I do lol
I run 40/40 has commute a lot
I'm at 125lbs (57Kilos) and have ridden tubeless on 20/21 (F/R) for years but recently dropped to 18/19 (F/R) with no issues but does sound legit? No burps nor flats. Maybe that's my magical number.
Don't know if I agree with a lot of this. Making something complicated that's not really complicated. I say this because how can you tell when it's right. I run tubeless on a Rail 9.7 and when I check my tyres, I go with around 28 front and back (well is it, that assuming the calibration on the gauge is correct?). Anyway, as tubeless losses air along the way, tyres deflate as the days / weeks pass, depending on how much you ride. But, when it comes time to checking my tyres, because there feeling soft, I often find they have deflated to as little as 20 psi. So, from 28 to 20, do I know when the tyres were at their peak? Absolutely not, so I pump thump again, go and enjoy riding and couldn't give a hoot what pressure is in my tyres - as long as their not punctured!!!
J P check your tyres before every ride that will keep them consitent . Your gave doesnt have to be accurate so long as it is consistant.
Yassss
You should think twice before putting a pump in your backpack without some kind of back protectin between your spine and the pump. Plenty of good alternatives on that or get a pump mount or just ductape your pump and a spare tube on the frame does also work out fine..
Battery life is amazing!
26 up front, 28 up the rear. But in 2.6s it seems excessive...
Problem is the perfect pressure on the trail is too low to jump on. And then it's to hard to ride back on. Sucks
20 PSI front and rear is the right , or not? 🤣
me who doesnt even have a bike watching this.
was it supposed to be funny or you are looking for some sympathy? who pushed you to watch? ;-)
@@zyghom Nah im just wondering how i got here.
@@veishmenchrish3427 too many drugs?
@@TheWeardale1 probably...
I ran 9 psi for a month without realising and somehow didn't break my rims.
Another tire pressure vid.....the boys must really be running out of show ideas lol......
This is because people insist on running them too low (or high)
Just get to the point
Seriously? I have to watch 8 min of lengthy video to find out way to determine the right pressure? Please... Just get to the point. I stopped watching at 4 min mark...
