- Constantly monitors tire pressure (0-50psi) and temperature
- Receive visual alerts when tire pressure or temperature shifts +/- 25% in an individual tire
- Help prevent against slow tire leaks and blowouts
- Sensors are installed directly on the rim for more accurate readings

Awesome product!
First off i bought this product as a friend of mine was driving last summer and had a major crash as a result of rear tire blowout. He was fortunate to survive the crash as he had his helmet on and he was laid up for a couple of weeks with some broken bones. When I found this out i started searching for an in tire TPMS product as from what i read and experienced the in tire TPMS are more reliable and accurate as they monitor in tire temperature and pressure inside the tire. The out side valve monitors such as (Tyre Dog and Tire Guard) are easier to install but are not as accurate since they only monitor pressure and temperature outside the tire which is not as accurate and are so susceptible to theft as all you have to do is unscrew the valve cap and your investment is gone.
The in tire TPMS has a direct read on the inside temperature of tire if temperature increases substantially then there is a probable pending tire failure as the there is more friction created with tire on the road and the tire will soon be unstable. In addition the in tire system can accurately monitor pressure with in .5% PSI which is great accuracy.
I had to take my Honda Gold Wing to the bike shop to get it installed for $50. After getting the unit installed at my local shop (about an hour install), the unit put out pressure and temperature as soon as the bike was turned on and hasn't had any glitches for the month I've owned it. The only issue i have had is the display is a little hard to read when the direct sun is hitting it, so you have to angle the monitor down a little, if there is a tire problem then the light turns red so it is easier to see if there is a problem.
The sensors appear to be very responsive and accurate as the temperature and pressure readings will rise from their `cold' levels after riding on the road for an extended period of time. With valves on Honda being difficult to reach, this unit let's you know automatically where you stand with tire pressure without having to get on your knees...a nice amenity for an older rider. Purchased this unit after the TireGard screw-on sensors started causing leaks from the valves and the Orange TPMS seems to be much more durable and longer lasting battery.
A few bucks gives me a piece of mind as you only have 2 tires on a bike...well worth the investment..link to the install site [...]
I have it installed on my VFR1200F and my BMW R1200GS as well as a friend's Ducati 1198 and KTM SMT.
Some folks claim problems with leaking valves but this is most likely from improper mounting procedure. The instructions are very clear about the amount of torque to apply when tightening the valve stems. It is understandable that if you over torque, you could actually damage the valve and leaking could result. Size of bike has nothing to do with the function of the product as the product is only exposed to the wheel, pressure and temperature.....which would be fairly similar for most bikes. I mounted all the valve stems myself and ensured they were properly torqued.
