Psi For Road Bike Tires
Tire pressure of the road bikes.
Psi for road bike tires. As an example i use gatorskins on my road bike 23c and my commuter bikes 28c. For every 5kg over 70 kgs of the rider you need to add 1 psi. Road tires typically require 80 to 130 psi pounds. I run the rear tire 10 psi below the max and the front tire 15 20 psi below the max.
Tire pressure is crucial for safety in cars and bicycles are no different. There was a time when most riders would opt for 23c tyres on the road pump the tyre pressure up to around 110psi for every ride letting out just a little air to provide extra grip in poor weather. Proper tire pressure lets your bike roll quickly ride smoothly and avoid flats narrow tires need more air pressure than wide ones. That includes fairly objective measurements with a power meter.
It is 26 psi on the front and 28 psi on the rear for the tubeless tires. Since your tire is your contact point to the road maintaining the proper pressure determines the handling and performance of the bicycle which in turn impacts your speed and your ability to.
