A motorcycle tire might be inflated to 2.5 kgf/cm². Older European hydraulic gauges are often marked in kgf/cm². In pounds per square inch, that gives you: 1 kgf/cm² = 14.2233 psi, 10 kgf/cm² = 142.233 psi, 100 kgf/cm² = 1422.33 psi.
The kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) equals exactly 98,066.5 Pa — one kilogram-force acting on one square centimeter. It is used on older pressure gauges, tire-pressure specifications, and industrial equipment in Europe, Japan, and Latin America, close to but not equal to one bar.
The pound per square inch (psi) is the customary US pressure unit, derived from the avoirdupois pound-force on a square inch (≈ 6,894.76 Pa exactly). It is the standard unit on US car tire-pressure stickers, scuba gauges in the US, and most plumbing specifications.
