Tyre choice and tyre pressure are the two factors that will have the biggest impact on the performance, control and comfort of your gravel bike.<\/p>

Tyre pressure is the easiest of these two variables to control and getting the right gravel tyre pressure for your bike will make a huge difference to your ride.<\/p>

In this guide, we\u2019ll run through why getting your gravel bike tyre pressure right is so important and the factors that can help you find a pressure that works best for you.<\/p>

While the exact pressure will be specific to every rider, their bike and the trails they ride on, it\u2019s fairly easy to get into the right ballpark.<\/p>

We asked WTB for additional guidance on optimising your gravel bike tyre pressure and have included some of the brand’s opinions below.<\/p>

We’ve also got guides to road bike tyre pressures<\/a> and mountain bike tyre pressures<\/a>. <\/p>
