Desert Fox Motorcycle Mini Compressor
Your motorcycle’s tyre pressure is one of the most important safety and maintenance checks you can perform. After all, this is the only thing holding you off the ground.
We believe we have the ultimate in mini compressors: the Desert Fox 12 V Air Compressor.
Here are the reasons why.
Mini Compressor Design Strengths
-
Sealed Unit
​​
Specifically designed for tough dusty conditions.
The unit is completely sealed. No dust can be sucked into the inner workings or piston.​​​​​
​Standard air pumps can suck in dust either through their housing vents or direct to the inner workings
-
Aluminum con rod with full race bearing
​​
Standard pumps tend to have a plastic con rod (A) with no bearings (B) which shortens the lifespan of the pump considerably

The dust proof cover of the Desert Fox compressor has been removed for this comparative exercise.
-
Full serviceability​
​​
Standard pumps (left) cannot be serviced as they are sealed units.
The Desert Fox pump (right) is designed to be fully serviceable with minimal tools ensuring many years of trouble free service.
-
All Metal fittings​​
​​
The Desert Fox pressure gauge has aluminum and brass fittings for strength and peace of mind.​​​​​​​
Standard air compressors have plastic fittings which can leave one stranded.
The arrow in this example depicts where the plastic T-piece connecting the air line to the tyre failed, rendering the pump useless.
-
Dual purpose cigarette/Hella plug​
​​
Shown here in standard cigarette lighter outlet configuration (cigarette outlets are the type fitted to motor vehicles).
​​​​​
Motorcycles, including BMW’s , are increasingly being fitted with the Hella/BMW outlet configuration as it provides a much more stable and better electrical connection than standard cigarette connectors.
By simply removing the red cover of the plug (as depicted) the plug converts to a Hella/BMW configuration.
To return to standard cigarette outlet simply click the red cover back on.
Supplied with 3 power options for maximum flexibility
1. Heavy duty SAE master power point which connects directly to your battery & does not affect Canbus systems.
This master power point allows you to power the compressor and any other 12V devices such as battery chargers.
2. Dual purpose cigarette/Hella/BMW plug, allowing you to power the compressor from a standard cigarette plug or Hella plug.
3. Battery crocodile clips to power the compressor from another vehicle’s battery.
