Accurate new tyre pressure gauges from Venhill

Written by 
Keep your tyres in tip top shape and the right pressure with one of these gauges Keep your tyres in tip top shape and the right pressure with one of these gauges Venhill
Regular and accurate tyre pressure checks are crucial for any motorcycle or scooter; even the smallest deviation can affect fuel economy, tyre wear, handling and stability. Venhill – specialist manufacturers of high performance brake lines and control cables – have introduced two Tyre Pressure Gauges to their range of motorcycle specific tools; one for regular applications and the other for low pressure tyres (e.g. trials and speedway). The VT32 Gauge has a pressure range of 0-60Psi (0 to 4 Bar), so is ideal for use with most road and off-road bikes, scooters and cars.
Its flexible stainless steel braided stem makes accessing even the most awkward valves easier and the 90-degree, fully rotating chuck ensures a tight seal from any angle. The 2inch dial gauge indicates in both Psi and Bar, both in small increments for an accurate reading. Set just below the dial is an air-bleed button; this allows riders to inflate the tyre and then release excess air to reach the recommended pressure settings. The VT37 Gauge operates at a pressure range of 0-15Psi and is specifically designed for machines running lower pressures – trials, speedway etc.

It’s more compact in design, but shares the flexible stainless stem and 360-degree chuck with the high-pressure version, for ease of use. The VT37 also features a 2inch diameter dial gauge - indicating Psi and kg/cmsq – for quick and accurate readings, as well as the air bleed button for exact pressure setting. Both Gauges feature a rubber sleeve around the dial, to help protect against impacts, and are supplied with a tough nylon storage pouch. The VT37 Gauge is available at an RRP of £17.07, the low pressure VT37 is priced £19.08 (including VAT at the current rate). For a full colour catalogue of the Venhill Tools range, call Venhill on 01306 885111, or visit www.venhill.co.uk/Motorcycle_Tools.
