For those still a bit nervous about how soft to start, we suggest for a 27.5 inch tire with a
tube to run 32 psi in the back and 28 psi in the front. For a tubeless tire, you can
begin with 26 & 22 psi respectively. Finally, for those with a Plus bike, you can even go
lower with 22 & 18 psi respectively.
For road bikes, a range of 80-100 psi is suitable for almost all types of tires, with
heavier riders and wider tires being made ideal with more pressure. Lighter riders and
narrower tires operate best at lower pressures such as 80-90 psi.
Is 40 PSI too high for MTB?
MTB manufacturers recommend between 30 and 50 psi on most of their bikes since
this is a nice balance between on-road (closer to 50) and off-road (closer to 30) riding.
