Tire Pressure

The Right Tire Pressure for Safe and Stable Riding

The correct tire pressure is essential for the safety, handling, and lifespan of your motorcycle tires. With the right tire pressure, your motorcycle steers predictably, you have optimal grip, and your tires wear evenly. Too low or too high pressure can lead to unstable handling, longer braking distances, and increased tire wear.

Tire pressure directly affects comfort and control. Tires that are too soft provide a spongy feel and generate extra heat, while tires that are too hard offer less grip and comfort. Regular checks are therefore important, especially with changing temperatures or when riding with luggage or a passenger.

What to Consider with Tire Pressure?

There are a number of practical points to consider for the correct tire pressure:

• Manufacturer's Recommendation: Always follow the values recommended by the motorcycle manufacturer.
• Cold Tires: It is best to measure tire pressure before riding, when the tires are cold.
• Load: Adjust the pressure for extra weight, such as luggage or a passenger.
• Regular Checks: Check tire pressure at least once every two weeks.

More Grip and Longer Lifespan

By maintaining your tire pressure, you not only improve safety but also the performance of your motorcycle. Your tires will wear more evenly, the motorcycle will handle more pleasantly, and you will ride with more confidence in various conditions. A small effort with a big impact on your riding pleasure.
