Calculate your ideal tyre pressure for road, gravel or MTB. Enter your weight and tyre size for an instant recommendation.

Based on weight and tyre widthWorks for road, gravel and MTBInstant result

Fast starting point

Set weight, tyre width, surface, and tyre type to generate a practical first pressure baseline.

Built for refinement

Start here, then test small changes based on feel, terrain, and real ride feedback.

Inputs

Build your pressure baseline

Start with the essentials first. Advanced options are there when you want to refine the recommendation further.

Rider weight, tire width, surface, and tube type drive the biggest changes. Use riding goal and bike weight only when you want a finer adjustment.

Warnings

  • Always follow the manufacturer's maximum pressure limits.
  • Unusual tyre width for a gravel bike.

What changes the result most

  • Weight and tire width shift the baseline fastest.
  • Surface and tire type change how low you can safely go.
  • Use the output as a starting point, then validate with ride feel.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this calculator?

It gives a strong starting point based on weight, tyre width, surface, and tyre type. Always verify tyre and rim pressure limits afterward.

Why is front pressure lower than rear?

Most bikes carry more system weight on the rear wheel, so the recommended rear pressure is usually higher.

Can I save this recommendation?

Yes. Inside the dashboard you can save pressure recommendations per bike, wheelset, tyre setup, and riding goal.
