MICHELIN TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM – BIKE
Introducing our first tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and all two-wheel modes of transport – bringing new levels of safety to riders for whom tyre condition is paramount.
MICHELIN TPMS – Bike detects a tyre in distress through loss of pressure, fast leakage or an increase in temperature – often the sign of an impending blowout. Its compact display flashes as brightly as a mobile phone torch if it detects an issue, plus identifies whether it is the front or rear tyre affected.
Our patented solution can be fitted in less than two minutes, bringing the same direct TPMS technology already proven in the passenger car and van markets to two-wheels for the first time.
This wireless system needs no programming and features a compact LCD screen which fits into a magnetic mount placed on a prominent part of the bike. The fully sealed and buttonless device can be quickly removed for security and is small enough to fit in a pocket.
The display offers a battery life of up to three months, with the USB-powered inductive charger making it simple to top-up.
Once fitted, the unit displays the pressure of both tyres, in either psi or bar, toggling between the front and rear at set intervals.
Riders will see a low-pressure warning if a tyre becomes under-inflated by 15%, an enhanced alert when the pressure either drops by 25%, or if over-inflated by 35% or more. There are also alerts for high tyre temperatures or fast leakage (at least 2 psi per minute).

Motorcycle News -
“There have been some aftermarket systems before, but to be honest, all the ones we’ve seen have been rather clunky. This looks much, much better though. The price seems decent for the quality.”
Visor Down -
“The simplicity, ease of use and the accuracy of the readings that this provides makes it well worth considering.”
Adventure Bike Rider -
“Introduces new levels of safety for riders for whom tyre condition is critical.”
Tyres & Accessories -
“There’s no wiring or calibration – you just take it out of the box and it all works, displaying your tyres’ pressures.”
RiDE -
“In my opinion, all motorcycles should have this kit fitted to them, as it saves you money on fuel, tyres and most importantly, your life.”
Andreea M, Female Riders UK -
“I REALLY like this. This widget has saved my bacon on the daily runaround – the beads are either a bit leaky, or it’s picked up a slow puncture.”
Practical Sportsbikes -
“It’s a high quality bit of kit, and the fact the display is rechargeable via USB is a nice touch.”

FAQS
Yes, it really is that simple!
Once the kit has been fitted, please ensure that you ride the bike immediately for the sensors to auto pair with the receiver.
The system is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects and is guaranteed for a period of 12 months from date of purchase.
MICHELIN TPMS – Bike is designed to be ‘plug-and-play’ and we’d be surprised if you encounter any technical issues. But if you do, just get in touch via our contact us page and we’ll provide prompt assistance.
The sensors use a thread which is nickel-plated. This will avoid corrosion with valve stems such as aluminium. During winter when the roads are heavily salted, it is advisable to take precautions and periodically remove the sensors for checking.
This is not a problem, however please avoid using specific wheel cleaning chemicals which may, in some cases, attach themselves to the sensor. This may give the effect of a discolouration of the sensor, which can only be removed with rigorous cleaning.
MICHELIN TPMS – Bike has been tested at high speeds. Even if you have a Suzuki Hayabusa parked in your garage, it’ll still work perfectly when you hit the road.
The display unit is designed to last for up to 3 months on a single charge, depending on use. It can be easily removed and the battery topped up using the USB-powered inductive charger at any time.
Each TPMS sensor has a built-in battery projected to last 3-5 years, depending on bike use. An accelerometer in each sensor allows it to sleep when stationary for a period, only waking up once the journey starts – to maximise battery conservation.
Quite simply, you don’t. We’ve designed our TPMS sensors to automatically calibrate to your tyre pressures when first installed. This is unique to our system, avoiding the need for bulky monitor-style receivers with fiddly buttons. Simply ensure your tyres are correctly inflated when cold before installation.
Additional sensors can be purchased at any time.
The sensors are waterproof and have been tested to IP67 rating which is a 1 metre depth. However, we don’t recommend that they are left immersed in water permanently as this can cause corrosion over time.
Simply remove and replace the receiver from its magnetic base three times in quick succession, and the readout will change. Complete the process a second time to revert back.
The receiver is held in place through magnetism, so very extreme off road conditions may have the potential for the receiver to become dislodged in the holder. We therefore do not recommend it be used in such conditions.
We use one of the lightest TPMS sensors on the market and they have been successfully tested at speed. We recommend they be fitted to metal valves, however if rubber valves are used, please ensure they are high quality rubber valve stems and free from damage. Furthermore, we advise the stems be checked on a regular basis to ensure they remain in good working condition.
Read more about fitting with rubber valves at the bottom of this Bennetts review.
Our TPMS sensors weigh less than 8g each, and most wheel balancing weights are typically 10-60g (although some can be as small as 5g). In our experience, the effect of adding the sensor is minimal and for the average bike owner, there is no requirement for balancing. However, we understand that high-performance riders seeking the ultimate performance from their bikes will naturally want to balance their wheels after fitment.
Our TPMS sensors have been designed to fit the widest possible range of bikes, including bikes with right-angled tyre pressure valves, whilst still delivering the levels of quality and performance required. If you are unsure whether the sensor risks clashing with any of the mechanics on your bike when the wheel is in motion, please get in touch via our Contact Us page before placing an order. We can arrange to post to you – free of charge – a dummy TPMS sensor which you can screw onto the valve to ensure the wheel rotates freely before placing your order. Please note it is the responsibility of the purchaser to determine, prior to purchase, that the system will fit their bike.
