In our group of riders I'm the "Tire Guy" so I carry all the tools needed to fix a pinch flat or check tire pressure while out on the trail. After buying a few cheap 12v air pumps and modifying them with alligator clips and then removing the protective plastic to reduce weight, I decided it was time to find a pump designed for dirt bike riders that didn't need modification. I contacted Rob at MotoPumps and he was nice enough to send out their new Air Shot Inflator, which is a motorcycle air pump perfectly designed for Enduro Racers, Dual Sport Riders, Adventure riders and any motorcycle rider that wants to pack light and doesn't have a lot of space.
