Whether you’re in the Colorado backcountry with a bent rim and punctured tire, or in the parking lot of your local coffee shop with a flat, having a tire pump tucked away in your bike’s panniers can make the difference between a ride to remember and a ride you wish to forget. In situations such as this, a reliable, portable, and dependable method of tire inflation is a necessity. Although there are a variety of tire pump options available, perhaps none is more straightforward and painless to operate than Rocky Creek DesignsMotopressor Mini Pump.

Simplicity comes to mind when examining the Motopressor Mini Pump. The adventure riding manufacturing community tends to have a bad habit of overcomplicating things, but Rocky Creek Designs has successfully created a tire pump that is, dare I say, easy to use! As adventure riders, we pride ourselves on our self-reliance and the ability to solve problems. The Motopressor Mini Pump makes this a little bit easier.

The pump is rugged and easy to operate. Measuring only 4.92 x 4.13 x 2.17 inches, and taking up minimal space, it can be left in your luggage and forgotten until it’s needed. The pump weighs a modest 18 oz. The front side features only four buttons, essentially making its operation foolproof. Missing from the digital display are complicated and distracting symbols found on some other tire inflation devices on the market.

So how does it work? Even without instructions, using the Mini Pump is intuitive. Simply attach an included power lead to your bike’s battery, secure the braided nylon inflation hose to the tire valve, pick the preferred pressure measurement units, indicate the desired tire pressure, and hit the on switch. In a few minutes, the Mini Pump will automatically shut off, and you’ll be back to riding, with the newfound confidence that your adventure machine is performing at its maximum level. The Mini Pump is capable of inflating a standard front tire to 36 psi in three and a half minutes, and a standard rear tire to 40 psi in just over six and a half.

Along with a convenient and compact carrying case, the Mini Pump comes with a variety of power lead attachments, such as the classic alligator clips, an SAE quick-disconnect cord, and a standard battery cable with rings, for easy attachment to nearly all modern motorcycle batteries. With the exception of a crescent wrench, few products in the adventure riding accessory market compare in terms of reliability and simplicity. Rocky Creek DesignsMotopressor Mini Pump makes a great addition to panniers everywhere.
