10.1.2 Tyre pressure
WARNING
Inner tube blow-out or tyre jumping off the rim due to excessively
high tyre pressure.
Risk of accident and injury!
x Observe the tyre pressure.
x Use a pump with a pressure display when inflating the tyres.
NOTE
Damage to the inner tube due to insufficient tyre pressure.
Risk of damage!
x Do not ride over sharp edges if the tyre pressure is too low.
x Observe the tyre pressure.
x Use a pump with a pressure display when inflating the tyres.
Tyre pressure is indicated on the sidewall of the tyre. The tyre pressure is given in bar or
psi (pounds per square inch). See the “Tyre pressure conversion” table.
The lower tyre pressure limit is suitable for light riders and uneven ground, and provides
more comfortable suspension with greater rolling resistance. The upper tyre pressure
limit is suitable for heavy riders and even ground, and provides low rolling resistance with
less comfortable suspension.
x Always ride with the prescribed tyre pressure.
x Check the tyre pressure regularly.
x Inflate the tyres with air to at least the lower tyre pressure limit and no more than
the upper limit.
x Use a pump with a pressure display when inflating the tyres.
