Fans of a drive while driving should pay attention to the fact that mototechnics has become increasingly visible in traffic accident reports. Therefore, it is worth taking the safety standards and the technical condition of the machines more seriously, for example, regularly measuring the pressure in the tires of an ATV. In addition, this parameter determines the correct balancing of equipment, traction, normal handling and tread integrity. The ATV is an off-road vehicle, and the normal condition of the wheels ensures its performance when traveling over rough terrain. Therefore, only optimally selected and competently pumped tires will allow you to enjoy a fast and safe ride.
The strategy for choosing tires for motorcycles
What should be considered when choosing tires for an ATV in the first place? Of course, the tread pattern, which determines the grip and the stability of the machine both on a straight track and on corners. If you buy used tires, you should consider the degree of wear and rubber and terrain. Improperly selected products reduce the maneuverability of the vehicle and its power. You need to know that the ATV tires have a diagonal design, and not a radial one, like a conventional vehicle. These products are made from several layers of cords laid perpendicular to each other. The pressure in the tires of the ATV should be low, thus protecting off-road equipment.
The area of contact of motor vehicles and soil
The tire pressure of the ATV provides such an important indicator as a “contact patch”. A normal indicator determines the optimal size. For example, if the pressure is low, then the “contact spot” is large, which means that the tread will quickly deform, grip will loosen, motor vehicles will “walk”, poorly “hold” the terrain and will not obey the driver. If the indicator is high, that is, the camera is pumped over, then the contact of the ATV and soil is reduced, the level of flexibility of the tire sidewall is reduced and the amortization is significantly reduced. Only optimally inflated tires provide high maneuverability, good speed, stable stability, necessary shock absorption and ride safety.
Features of movement on various routes
Whichever way you choose to ride a motorbike, you must check the pressure in the tires of the ATV before going to the track. When choosing a trip, you need to understand that when moving on different types of surfaces you need different indicators in the cameras. Soils can be hard: concrete, asphalt or dense soil. The road can be softer and more mobile: off-road, sand or snow. What pressure in the tires of the ATV must be provided in both cases? For off-road driving, indicators from 0.35 to 0.83 bar are recommended. If you have a trip on a solid highway, it is better to increase the pressure from the nominal by 25-40%. Some drivers in the first case recommend pumping up the rear wheels a little more.
CFmoto Tire Pressure
One of the most popular ATVs is the CFmoto. It is often used in various test drives to determine the optimal parameters of certain indicators. That is, at the start, the pressure in the tires of the CFmoto ATV is set according to the standards, and then it is changed on the route and measured. Indicators from 1.1 to 1.5 bar turned out to be optimal for movement on asphalt for both better maneuverability and rubber wear. Decreased rolling resistance on the road. But on off-road sections, encounters with bumps were felt much tougher. In general, the pilots concluded that if most of the track runs along a dense surface, it is better to maintain high pressure in the chambers .
