Fitting and tyre pressure

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified fitter, and make sure the rotation arrow on the sidewall points in the direction of travel. On tubeless rims, fit a new tubeless valve with every tyre change. Set the pressure cold to the figure in your bike’s owner’s manual or on the chain guard or swingarm sticker, and check it regularly. New tyres have a smooth surface, so ride gently for the first 100 to 150 km while the tread scrubs in.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a tubeless or tube-type tyre?

This is a tubeless (TL) tyre. On a tubeless rim it seals against the rim bead, so no inner tube is needed. Fit a new tubeless valve when you replace the tyre. On spoked rims that are not tubeless, run it with an inner tube of the correct size.

How do I read the size 110/70ZR17?

110 is the tread width in millimetres, 70 is the aspect ratio (the sidewall height is 70% of the width), ZR shows radial construction rated for speeds above 240 km/h, and it fits a 17-inch rim. The 54W after the size is the load index 54 (212 kg per tyre) and speed rating W (up to 270 km/h).

Is this a front or rear tyre?

This size is a front tyre. Front and rear tyres have different profiles and construction, so fit it on the front wheel only and pair it with a matching rear.
