Tubeless tyres
Tyre pressure Front:
2.1 bar – 2.3 Kg/cm

Rear:
2.2 bar – 2.4 Kg/cm

As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude
variations, you are advised to check and adjust it whenever
you are riding in areas where ample variations in
temperature or altitude occur.
Important
Check and adjust tyre pressure when tyres are cold.
To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy
roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
Tyre repair or replacement (Tubeless)
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a
long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you
find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.
Warning
A tyre must be replaced when punctured.
Replace tyres with recommended standard tyres only.
Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks
when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed
this warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to
serious danger to rider.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.
Note
If tyres need replacing, contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Workshop to make sure wheels are removed
and refitted correctly.
Minimum tread depth
Measure tread depth (S, fig. 77) at the point where tread
is most worn down.
It should not be less than 2 mm and anyway not below the
legal limit.
