More Details: Motorcycle useable functionality! 90 degree valve head design fits even in the tightest spots, well clear of brake rotors.
Perhaps the most important safety tool you can have in your garage or on the road, a good tire gauge can mean the difference between a properly handling motorcycle and a serious safety hazard.
Studies indicate that properly inflated tires promote optimal braking, steering and traction--as well as extended tire life. A 30% reduction in pressure reduces tire life a whopping 48%!
The ROADGEAR® Hi-Tec Digital Tire Gauge is an excellent choice for anyone who is serious about
proper maintenance, performance, safety and tire longevity. Its ergonomic design is comfortable to hold and allows one-handed operation. In fact, it's so easy to use and feels so good in your hand that you may find yourself checking your tire pressure just for fun.
This gauge functions through a 'double-bridge' smart-chip microprocessor that controls accuracy--compensating for ambient temperatures, humidity and altitude variations.
Auto on/off and an easy-to-read, large digital display make it the ultimate no-fuss tool. It's accurate to within ± 1% and measures 5.0-99.5 psi in half-pound increments. The gauge has an easily replaceable lithium battery.
Don't let another ride go by without protecting yourself with this elegant 'talking' instrument.

· "So why not a 'talking' tire gauge? Actually, it makes good sense.
"To this end, the gauge speaks loud and clear...The 90-degree angle valve design helps get into tight spots and the handle is, well, handy and fits well into the hand.
"Bottom line, I'm already dependent on my talking gauge. He's my friend."

· "You can check and adjust the tire's air pressure without having to pull out the gauge for a visual check. We've compared all three Roadgear gauges with Accu-Tire and other non-digital tire pressure gauges and have found that the Roadgear gauges are very accurate and consistent. The correct motorcycle tire pressure in crucial for best performance and safety, and we have developed a habit of always checking the tire pressure on our motorcycles before each and every ride."

· FOLLOWING REVIEWS PERTAIN TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE GAUGE. THE NEW GAUGE IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS MODEL IN FORM, FUNCTION AND PERFORMANCE. PLUS, NOW IT IS EVEN BETTER WITH A TALKING CHIP.
"This gauge fits very neatly to hand-it feels like it's feather light, weighing only 4 grams. Almost everyone who has handled it is amazed at how light it feels. I'm not sure how they got the electronics and battery in there, but they did! It also has a lifetime lithium battery and a five-year warranty, which is not only unbelievably great, but probably beats any other tire pressure gauge on the market by miles."

· "Fortunately, the folks at ROADGEAR have come up with a trick, motorcycle-specific tire guage that fits every bike we've tried it on. Measuring from 5.0-99.5 psi in half-pound increments, its plus/minus 1 percent accuracy.and its ergonomic design allows one-handed operation. The large digital display is clear and easy to read. Of particular note, the seal on this gauge is so good that you can remeasure a tire multiple times without any air leaking out. Given its reasonable price, the Hi-Tec Digital Tire Gauge should be a no-brainer for every toolbox. (Five Star rating)"

· "Even the best tires in the world can make your bike handle poorly or cause a crash if they are not properly inflated.The only way to guarantee correct inflation levels is with a good tire gauge. My favorite gauge is the sexy digital model from ROADGEAR. Its ergonomic design is comfortable in your hand and the large readout actually makes if fun to check your tires."

· "The ROADGEAR Hi-Tec Digital Tire Gauge has no moving parts, and thus has eliminated the most likely physical cause of inaccurate readings. Instead, it is equipped with a smart chip for accuracy. I tried several ROADGEAR gauges in succession and found that all recorded the same pressure, allowing for the small amount of leakage caused by the check. They certainly are consistent."

· "EXCELLENCE UNDER PRESSURE. You can make the argument that if you only carry one tool with you on your motorcycle, it should be a tire pressure gauge. Now, RoadGear offers one of the most sophisticated gauges we've used...We tested two (Roadgear) Hi-Tec gauges against a shop gauge costing twice as much and got consistent readings at normal streetbike pressures..."

· "INNOVATION OF THE MONTH. Roadgear Hi-Tec Digital Tire Pressure Gauge... We compared the new gauge to a second digital unit and two inexpensive pencil-type gauges at typical tire pressures. The pencil gauges routinely read from 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 lbs. below both digital gauges, and the Roadgear digital demonstrated perfect reliability, while the other digital varied by as much as 2 1/2 lbs. when the tire was measured twice in succession...Accuracy is satisfying..."

Years in the making,...ergonomically designed tool...Wondering about durability? No problem. The Hi-Tec Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is built with a sturdy casing, the lithium battery will last ages, and Roadgear offers a five-year warranty...this tool is a bargain."

· "ROADGEAR HI-TEC DIGITAL TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE. Small enough to fit in your pocket, the light, rugged Hi-Tec Digital Pressure gauge is accurate...To ensure the Hi-Tec gauge's accuracy, we checked a variety of tire pressures--including one oversized truck tire that shouldn't be affected by repeated pressure reading--with five separate Hi-Tec gauges. Each of the gauges delivered the same results. Next, we compared the gauge to a pressure gauge tester maintained by Dunlop's Sport Tire Services. Again, it proved accurate. And we didn't find a single motorcycle tire we couldn't check the pressure on...With the cost of new rubbers and the high stakes of a tire failure in mind, we highly recommend the Roadgear Hi-Tec Digital Tire Pressure Gauge."
