Tyre Pressure Assistant
The Tyre Pressure Assistant calculates the optimal tyre pressure for your front and rear wheel — based on your body weight, bike weight, tyre width, and riding style. The result is shown in both bar and psi and can be saved directly as a setup.
Inputs
The assistant takes the following parameters into account:
- Rider weight — automatically pulled from your profile, but can be adjusted
- Bike weight — loaded from the selected bike
- Tyre width — in inches (e.g. 2.4”)
- Tubeless — whether you are running tubeless tyres
- Riding style — Trail, Enduro, Downhill, XC, or Freeride
- Skill level — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Pro
- Terrain — Trail or Gravel
Result
Once all values are entered, the assistant instantly displays the recommended pressure for front and rear tyre — in both bar and psi.
Saving a Setup
You can save the calculated result under a name as a pressure setup. Saved setups appear in the Tyre Pressure section on your bike’s detail page and are always available for quick reference.
Calculation formula
The assistant uses a physics-based formula — not an AI model, but a deterministic calculation:
1. System weight
system_kg = rider_kg + bike_kg
2. Base pressure (rear)
base_rear = 0.013 × system_kg + 0.35
3. Corrections (additive on base_rear)
| Parameter | Value | Correction |
|---|---|---|
| Tyre width | per inch below 2.4” | (2.4 − width_inch) × 0.5 |
| Riding style | XC | +0.20 bar |
| Trail | ±0 | |
| Enduro | −0.05 bar | |
| Downhill | −0.15 bar | |
| Freeride | −0.10 bar | |
| Skill level | Beginner | +0.10 bar |
| Intermediate | ±0 | |
| Advanced | −0.05 bar | |
| Pro | −0.10 bar | |
| Tyre type | Tubeless | ±0 |
| Tubed | +0.20 bar |
4. Front tyre pressure
front = rear × 0.90
5. Limits (clamp)
Rear: 0.8 – 3.0 bar
Front: 0.7 – 2.8 bar
The calculated value is then output in bar (1 decimal place) and psi (rounded).
