PSI Question

[DL7]

Hi, just purchased the base model Turbo Levo FSR. Converted to tubeless. What PSI is recommended please? I'm 180cm and 86kgs. Riding a mix of rooty singletrack and forest roads. Thanks

Base Model FSR LEVO?

I would say start at 30 and see how you get on.

I dropped to 20 on DT Swiss XM481 (30mm) Magic Mary but I burped the rear tire (inwards) going up some big loose rocks

On the Levo FSR Comp, think the max is 30psi, I run just over 20psi local LBS said can drop to 15psi . Guess it's what you ride on too. I'm 180cm 90kg (Naked )

20 psi rear,in my case is too low. I am 95 Kg kitted up and have to run rear 30 psi with Nobby Nic supergravity casing

I am 95KG kitted out and I am too scared to drop below 35 now on the rear, but ok at 25 on the front!

I'm 85kg with kit and run 18psi front and back. This is on the stock Butchers tubless on the 2018 Carbon Comp. 18 seems perfect for me, plush ride good grip and haven't blown out yet in 500 miles plus.

PSI is a personal thing and hard to do any more than get a general idea online. Air up your tires to more than you think you need. Ride some on terrain you would normally, back and forth over a section of trail works best. Start letting out a little air each time and do so until the handling becomes too mushy. Check with a gauge. Air back up a bit until it feels just right. That is your proper PSI. Chances are your front and rear tires will be different PSI's.

Good points there.. also depends on the ground your riding too
