Superpower bikes demand good quality in every part and accessory, for example, the tyre. Any tyre can’t be fitted for use on every bike. Choosing the right KTM tyre for best performance and safety is crucial.

One of the most critical factors for ensuring the revving ability of adventure bikes is the tyre quality and pressure. KTM tyre requires a pressure of 29 psi in the front and rear wheels without load. With load, the optimum KTM tyre pressure is 32 psi.

  • Why is Tyre Pressure Important?

    The tyre is the part that tolerates the maximum wear and tear due to road friction and exposure to all types of weather conditions. Optimum tyre pressure ensures a smooth ride and low resistance. High tyre pressure can impact the bike’s road grip. It can wear away the tyre treading faster and offer a rough riding experience.

    At the same time, low tyre pressure can heat the tyre and slow down the ride.

    The KTM tyre pressure can vary in different weather conditions. For example, for highway driving, the tyre pressure can be 2 psi higher than normal. For a summer drive, it can be 2 psi lower than normal. Similarly, tyre pressure can be lower by 2 psi for a mountain drive.
