Hi I’m relatively new to e bike and recently bought a Scott egenius 720..
My question is what front and rear suspension air pressure should I be looking at?
Also new to oversized 27.5” tyres, so what pressures should I start at there also.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Lyndon, You're front and rear suspension air pressure are weight related, but you want a specific amount of sag-drop when you sit on you're bike! Chances are you could have them spot on already:) Tyre pressure is more of a play off between comfort v speed with a bit off terrain handling in the mix. Personally I like to keep my tyres around 40psi which is fairly hard for mainly cycling on the roads!
