Your motorcycle’s tyre pressure is one of the most important safety and maintenance checks you can perform. After all, this is the only thing holding you off the ground.

It makes sense then to ensure that you have a motorcycle air pump that can meet the demand when you need it most . The Desert Fox 12V air compressor is an affordable compact motorcycle tyre pump for dual sport bikes and sport-touring. Now flat tyres are a breeze to re-inflate with this compact high capacity air compressor.

Motorcycle tyres should always be checked before each ride to make sure they are inflated correctly, so it pays to have a robust air pump handy.

But what do you do if you get a flat while on the road?

There are many 12V compressors being sold but virtually all of these simply do not have the power to adequately inflate or pop the bead of a tubeless tyre. They may look the part but when you need it most it quickly becomes apparent that you will more than likely be left stranded far from help.

We believe we have the ultimate in mini compressors. Small, compact and VERY powerful this air compressor is tailor-made by the manufacturer for tough off-road conditions.

At last an affordable compact travel air compressor for dual sport motorcycles and sport-touring. Now flat tyres are a breeze to re-inflate with this compact high capacity pump.

Standard air compressors have plastic fittings which can leave one stranded.

The arrow in this example depicts where the plastic T-piece connecting the air line (to the tyre) failed rendering the pump useless.

Specifically designed for tough dusty conditions. Unit is completely sealed. No dust can be sucked into the inner workings or piston.

Standard air pumps can suck in dust either through their housing vents or direct to the inner workings.

Motorcycles, including BMW’s , are increasingly being fitted with the Hella/BMW outlet configuration as it provides a much more stable and tighter connection than standard cigarette connections.

By simply removing the red cover of the plug (as depicted above) the plug converts to a Hella/BMW configuration(right).

To return to standard cigarette outlet simply click the red cover back on.

Standard pumps tend to have a plastic con rod (A in picture) with no bearings (B) which shortens the lifespan of the pump considerably.
