Nostris Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I see in the INMOTION manual they state a default tyre pressure of 2.8bar / 40 Psi. This seems very high to me, surely you would have a very hard, bouncy and twitch ride at this pressure. Why is it stated to be so high? I weigh 80kg / 180 lbs, and generally ride with 30 / 32 psi. What do you all do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hello, I put 3 bars and I weigh 69 kg. I add my 5 kg backpack, the 1.5 kg motorcycle jacket, the 1.5 kg helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostris Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi Veramontelo...Wow...that’s quite a lot of pressure, and you are not very heavy. Don’t you find the ride very stiff and bouncy? For myself, I seem to like about 2 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesús Parrilla Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I normally check the pressure, every 2 months. What gets me out of a hurry is, this inflator that I see is of very good quality. An offroad tire will never be the same as a normal one, but the tire pressure should be about Spoiler 2.5 kg ( 34 PSI ) for your weight. Here you can see the inflator I'm talking about. All the best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostris Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks Jesus... That’s what I thought for the pressure. That inflator looks really nice 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneLeg Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Inmotion have changed the tire types on the V8/V8F.... I can't comment on the newer one. The Kenda that was supplied first is actually quite a hard and durable tire, under inflating it will lead to the tire wearing out much faster. 40psi is not high, the range should be 40-50psi. I find that above 42psi it is starts to hurt and tire you out more when you go on long rides. Given your weight you can under inflate it a bit and it will be fine, however those of us are heavier 40psi is a must... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
