Maintaining the proper tire pressure on your bike is critical to efficiency. An under or over inflated bike tire has higher rolling resistance and requires more energy to ride. The second generation of the SKS AIRCHECKER is designed to make checking your tire pressure quick and painless. Rather than connecting a large floor pump, the $36.99 AIRCHECKER 2 has a compact and ergonomic handheld design that can measure upto 144 PSI or 10 Bar.

The dual-sided head is compatible with Presta, Shrader or Dunlap valves which allows the AIRCHECKER 2 to be used on road, mountain bikes or even automobiles. There is even a convenient deflate button and live measurement mode that allows you to accurately reduce the pressure back to the desired value.

The AIRCHECKER 2 is primarily a semi-matte texture black with a glossy piano black insert along the front screen and buttons. While the glossy surface looks great in photos, it quickly collects fingerprints and dust...
