TIRE PRESSURE
The maximum tire pressure depends on the tire width and the
inner rim width. The following table might be of help when
adjusting the tire pressure. Do not exceed the maximum tire
pressure! On bikes with originally fitted tires, the maximum tire
pressure can be determined from the tire width. You can find
the tire width on the sidewall of the tire. On mountainbikes, it
makes sense to choose a tire pressure that is lower than the
maximum pressure for higher grip. The minimum tire pressure is
also marked on the tire sidewall and you should not fall below this
value. The tire pressure for trail, enduro, freeride and downhill
use should be about 1.5 to 1.9 bar at the front wheel and about 1.7
to 2.1 bar at the rear wheel.
