Low pressure helps a lot on rocks, wet tree roots and so forth. Remember, to run low pressure, you need tire security bolts, two on the rear one on the front. Minimum. ....ARH

Very great point,guys!

Just to prove that my memory is not infallable. Pete reminds me that it should be CO2 that you use instead of air. Not nitrogen!...ARH

yea i think nitrogen doesnt expand and contract like air and thats why they use it in cars.

79% of air is nitogen...
20% oxygen...
1% contains all other gases...

Co2 is very temp senitive... tyre gets hot it exspands..(road)
tyre gets cold it contracts (dirt)

timcosby · 03-07-2017, 02:33 AM

maybe it doesnt compress as easy???? they use it for some reason.

The Hawk uses the same engine as many other bikes use. One of the guys on here got around 50,000 miles out of his. .........ARH
